Best indoor cycling apps

Zwift is still the app most athletes should try first on a smart trainer, and MyWhoosh is the one to beat if you won’t pay a subscription.

Ownership has shifted quickly among other major players in the market. Rouvy bought FulGaz and Bkool in 2025 and then closed Bkool; Zwift bought Rouvy and FulGaz in April 2026, and Garmin bought TrainingPeaks in July 2026.

The bottom of the market is moving the other way. The Smart Trainer Apps directory lists 119 apps, and 85 of them launched in 2026, including 44 in October and November alone. Many are free, AI-developed, run in a browser, and you have to question how well they will stand the test of time. This page lists 117 live apps, with the price and a link for every one.

I train on Wahoo SYSTM, Zwift and MyWhoosh. I’ve only sparingly used other apps, and many of the other opinions below come from each app’s published features and prices.

I checked prices on 9 November 2026, and they exclude local taxes.

Large apps

These have the biggest audiences or the most money behind them. Zwift doesn’t publish a subscriber number, but the usual estimate is about 1 million. Rouvy’s UK agency reported more than 300,000 subscribers in March 2026. MyWhoosh publishes no user number.

App	Best for	Per year	Per month	Free option	Website
Zwift	Racing and company	$199.99 £179.99 €199.99	$19.99 £17.99 €19.99	14-day trial	zwift.com
Zwift Plus	Adaptive plan and filmed routes	$299.99 £269.99	$29.99 £26.99 €29.99	14-day trial	zwift.com

MyWhoosh	Paying nothing	Free	Free	It’s free	mywhoosh.com

Zwift

Zwift has more riders on the road than any rival, so you can find a race, group ride or structured workout at almost any hour. Its racing has a matchmaking score and a team league, and a 14-day trial covers every feature. Recent additions include the Wild Isles roads in Watopia and Watt Lock, which holds a set power in free rides and group rides without a workout.

Zwift Plus costs $100 a year more and replaces the standard subscription. It adds Zwift Coach, a plan that reworks itself when you miss a session or add an outdoor ride, and Zwift Video, 21 filmed routes covering 385km. Those routes keep PowerUps, leaderboards and drafting, but they have no races, events or MeetUps yet. Zwift Coach is the stronger reason to upgrade today, and the video library needs the regular additions Zwift has promised from early 2027.

Rouvy

Rouvy puts avatars on filmed roads, and its library runs to thousands of routes. Official IRONMAN, Challenge Family and Life Time Grand Prix courses make it the strongest choice for rehearsing a target race indoors, which is why it suits triathletes in particular.

Zwift owns Rouvy, but the two keep separate subscriptions and roadmaps. So far, the practical gain is that Zwift Cog, Click and Ride now work in Rouvy with virtual shifting. Rouvy also now runs TrainerRoad workouts on its real routes.

Rouvy is the better deal for households. Duo covers two riders for $249.99 a year, Group covers up to five for $499.99, and you can pause a subscription for up to 180 days once a year. A lapsed account keeps 20km of riding a month.

MyWhoosh

MyWhoosh gives you virtual worlds, group rides, races, structured workouts and training plans at no cost, because UAE money funds it. It hosts the UCI Cycling Esports World Championships under a deal that runs from 2024 to 2026, and its seven-day MyWhoosh Championships offered $1 million in prize money in July 2026.

Riders are thinner on the road than on Zwift (but improving in 2025 and 2026), the training plans don’t adapt to you, and free accounts can keep only 10 custom workouts. Rowing joined cycling and running in January 2026. It is believed to have the best graphics engine of the major players (Unreal Engine 5), which gives it slightly better-looking 3D worlds than Zwift, provided your computer is powerful enough to show them. My MyWhoosh review after 1,000 miles covers the riding in more detail.

Significant apps

These apps have smaller audiences, but each does one job better than the big three.

TrainerRoad

TrainerRoad builds a plan around your target event, then adapts workouts based on how your training goes. Its screen shows power targets and little else, and it has no world, racing or social riding. Many athletes use it alongside more visually entertaining training apps e.g. it can send workouts to Zwift and Rouvy. TrainerRoad has no free trial or pause option, although it offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

TrainingPeaks Virtual

TrainingPeaks Virtual began as indieVelo, an app built around fair racing, and it still has some of the most realistic physics effects (wind, drafting). Its bots can fill out a thin race field, and GPXplore lets you ride an uploaded course. It includes TrainingPeaks Premium, so athletes who already pay for Premium get it at no extra cost. Non-subscribers get one free day a month. Garmin now owns it, and rides sync to Garmin Connect.

Wahoo App Pro (SYSTM)

Wahoo App Pro is the old SYSTM subscription, which grew out of The Sufferfest. It suits a triathlete or time-crunched cyclist who wants plans, video workouts, strength, yoga and mental training in one place. Its four-part power profile shows sprint and short-effort ability that a single FTP number misses. Wahoo closed its RGT virtual world in 2023, so there is no racing or group riding. The Core tier at $49.99 a year leaves out SYSTM, but it includes indoor route simulation.

Xert

Xert models your fitness from your power data and picks matching workouts, which appeals to athletes who enjoy the numbers. Its EBC app runs those workouts on a smart trainer. It has a 30-day free trial and costs less than half of TrainerRoad over a year.

Biketerra

Biketerra is the app to try if you want to ride your own GPX course in 3D. It runs in Chrome or Edge or as a native app, has more than 50,000km of real-world routes, and offers virtual shifting on any smart trainer. A free account has no distance limit and can join every event, but it is restricted to six featured routes outside events.

Kinomap

Kinomap is the largest filmed-route platform that Zwift doesn’t own, with more than 70,000 videos, most of them uploaded by users. Runners and rowers can use it too. It has no avatars, and desktop users have to mirror it from a phone or tablet. The lifetime subscription ended in February 2026.

FulGaz

FulGaz plays filmed routes in up to 4K with very little on screen, which suits athletes who want scenery without a game. It remains a separate app under Zwift’s ownership, and its IRONMAN content moved to Rouvy. New routes now arrive less often.

Trainer makers’ own apps

Tacx Training and Elite My E-Training are worth using if you own that brand of trainer, because each comes with filmed routes and structured workouts. Neither is built for athletes who may change hardware.

Every smaller indoor trainer app

AI-assisted development has made a trainer app cheap to build, so the launch date is a useful warning. An app released this autumn has had little time to prove that it works, and I have not tested the apps in these tables. Each table runs from the oldest app to the newest, and (beta) marks an app its developer still calls unfinished. Check that an app is still being updated before paying for a year.

Add your indie app

If you make an indoor trainer app as a solo developer or small team, I will add it to this list for free. Send the app’s name, a link, its price, its launch date and one sentence on what it lets an athlete do to in**@*********er.com.

More interesting and unusual apps also qualify for an Indie Spotlight, a permanent article on this site. The slot is free for small (indie) developers; please don’t ask for inclusion here as part of your launch; get it working properly first.

Klemy and Saval are recent examples, and the rest are in the Indie Spotlight series.

Quick answers

What is the best free indoor cycling app?
MyWhoosh is the most complete free app, with virtual worlds, races, structured workouts and training plans. Biketerra is the better free choice for riding uploaded routes.

Does Zwift own Rouvy and FulGaz?
Yes. Zwift bought Rouvy, including FulGaz, in April 2026. All three remain separate apps with separate subscriptions.

Can one subscription cover Zwift and Rouvy?
No. The two apps still need separate subscriptions. Zwift Plus adds filmed routes inside Zwift, but it does not include Rouvy.

Can I use TrainerRoad with Zwift or Rouvy?
Yes. TrainerRoad workouts can run inside Zwift and on Rouvy’s filmed routes, so you need a subscription to each app you use.

Do I need a smart trainer for these apps?
A smart trainer gives the best experience because the app controls the resistance. Zwift, MyWhoosh, Rouvy, TrainerRoad, Wahoo SYSTM and FulGaz can also work with a basic trainer and a speed sensor, but the resistance will not change for you.

Which trainer apps run on Apple TV?
Zwift, Rouvy, MyWhoosh, TrainingPeaks Virtual, FulGaz and Kinomap all have Apple TV apps. TrainerRoad and Wahoo SYSTM do not.

The trainer to run them on

Every major app works with a trainer that uses ANT+ FE-C or Bluetooth FTMS, so buy the trainer for how it rides and choose your app separately. Wahoo KICKR V6 is the best choice for most athletes. KICKR MOVE is easier on the saddle in rides of 90 minutes or more, and Tacx Nēra brings built-in movement to Garmin’s range for £859.99 / $999.99. JetBlack Volt is a good low-cost direct-drive option.

Virtual shifting is less of a commitment than it was. Zwift Cog and Click now work in Zwift and Rouvy, and OpenBikeControl’s BikeControl app brings shifting to MyWhoosh, TrainingPeaks Virtual and Biketerra.

Full recommendations are in the best smart trainer guide.

What to run them on

TrainerRoad, Xert and other workout apps run happily on a phone or tablet. The 3D and video apps benefit from a bigger screen and more processing power. My guide to the best device for Zwift compares every option, and the best indoor cycling setup page lists a starter kit for riders who already own a bike.

Apple TV 4K is the simplest way to get Zwift onto a television, and I use two. The fourth-generation model costs £299 / $299 and has an A19 chip and Ethernet on every unit. It is a poor upgrade from the third generation for trainer use, because Apple announced nothing for indoor training and the apps have yet to use the extra power. A used third-generation box will do the same job for far less.

Apple TV has two limits. It has no ANT+, and Zwift has historically allowed only two Bluetooth connections on it, so a third sensor needs the Zwift Companion app or a bridge. A trainer connected by Wi-Fi or Ethernet frees one of those slots. MyWhoosh on Apple TV also leans on its Link phone app.

A gaming PC gives the best Zwift graphics, and a recent Mac mini is a quieter way to get 4K. Video apps also depend on your broadband, because Zwift Video used about 15GB per 30 minutes at 4K in Shane Miller’s test.

Which app to pay for

• Pay for Zwift if you want racing and company whenever you ride.
• Start with MyWhoosh if you are new to indoor riding or dislike subscriptions.
• Choose Rouvy if you want real roads, official race courses or one plan for a household.
• Choose TrainerRoad if your priority is getting faster for a target event.
• Use TrainingPeaks Virtual if you already pay for TrainingPeaks Premium.
• Choose Wahoo App Pro if strength and mobility work are part of your plan.
• Choose Biketerra if you mainly want to rehearse your own courses.
• Choose Kinomap if you want filmed roads from a company Zwift doesn’t own.
