TrainingPeaks, Final Surge, WKO5, Best Bike Split, what you actually pay, what you actually get, and where Grepiac sits alongside them or replaces them outright.
Prices verified against each vendor's siteWe're not "TrainingPeaks but cheaper", the model is genuinely different. Most coach platforms are calendar-first (you live in their training calendar). Most analysis tools are desktop-first (your data is locked to one machine). Grepiac is analysis-first and web-first, with a flat coach price plus a rebate that turns athletes into the funding source. Different shape, not just a different price tag.
Most competitors charge per-tier or per-seat: more athletes, more money. Grepiac is flat $299/yr unlimited, and we share the upside back via a $100/yr rebate per premium athlete from #4. With 6+ premium athletes, your coach plan is free. None of the platforms below offer anything like that.
Calendar-first platforms (TrainingPeaks, Final Surge) want you inside their schedule view. Desktop tools (WKO5) tie your data to specific machines. Grepiac is the analytical layer that sits alongside wherever your calendar already lives, and works from any browser, any device, no install.
We do planning + analytics + race execution + technique + equipment + coach business ops in one platform. TrainingPeaks does calendars and PMC well; WKO does deep analytics; Best Bike Split does course-aware power. Grepiac does all of it, plus things none of them do, the post-race report that benchmarks each athlete against their whole age group and gender field, GPS segments with Stryd Running Effectiveness, a race-day fueling planner, technique forms, and swim force vectors.
The core comparison most coaches care about. Grepiac's flat $299/yr undercuts every multi-athlete platform on this list, and with 6+ premium athletes the rebate makes it free.

Athletes who don't have a coach but want lab-grade analysis. Grepiac's $99/yr undercuts TrainingPeaks Premium, the closest serious-analytics tier, while going far deeper on swim, race execution, and efficiency. Final Surge and Best Bike Split are cheaper but much narrower in scope.

Honest framing of what each competitor actually does well, and where Grepiac either sits alongside them or replaces them outright.
TP is the industry default. They're the best at training calendars and PMC charts, and most coaches already have a TP workflow. Grepiac does not replace TP's calendar, we sit alongside it. Build the structured plan in TP (or wherever); run the analysis, race execution, technique tracking, and fueling in Grepiac. We're working on direct workout export to TP so coaches can author structured workouts in Grepiac and push them to TP for delivery, that's on the roadmap.
Final Surge is the closest structural match, also a coach platform with athletes free in roster. The differences are on coverage and price: Final Surge caps at 100 athletes for $390/yr, vs Grepiac's unlimited at $299. Final Surge has a stronger calendar UX than us today; Grepiac has dramatically more analytical depth (calculators, force vectors, race execution, technique forms).
WKO5 is the depth-of-analysis benchmark for serious cyclists and coaches who want custom metrics and chart-builder flexibility. But it's desktop-only and capped at 2 devices, your data lives on the laptop you installed it on, full stop. Grepiac matches a lot of WKO's analytical depth (calculators, lactate, metric history, regression detection) and adds web-first anywhere access, plus everything WKO doesn't do (race execution, fueling, technique, multi-athlete coach workflow).
Best Bike Split does one thing very well: course-aware bike-power simulation (CdA + wind + hills + temperature → predicted finish time). At $299/yr for a coach plan, you're paying their full price for what is essentially one feature inside Grepiac, our race planning wizard + power-to-finish simulator covers the same ground, plus all the other modules at the same price.
