Zwift, TrainerRoad, MyWhoosh and Rouvy: what each does, what it costs and who it suits.
Some links here are affiliate links: we may earn a commission at no cost to you. This never changes what we write. How we make money
Pick the app by what you want to do on the trainer, not by price: on standard annual plans the paid apps sit within about $30 a year of each other, Zwift's new Plus tier costs more, and MyWhoosh is free. Zwift is built around a game world, group rides and racing; TrainerRoad around structured plans that adapt to your results; ROUVY around filmed real-world routes; MyWhoosh is a virtual world that its own FAQ says is free to ride.
The table uses the prices in our app records, taken from each vendor's own pricing page. ROUVY is shown at its euro list price; its support page gives the same numbers in US dollars. Zwift is shown at its standard tier; Zwift Plus, launched 29 October 2026, is $29.99 a month or $299.99 a year. To add up a mix of apps over the months you actually ride, use the app cost calculator; for the side-by-side, read Zwift vs TrainerRoad vs MyWhoosh vs ROUVY or the narrower Zwift vs MyWhoosh.
