Free, powerful and built for self-coached athletes. Where it hands you the data to interpret, Vekta arrives at the answer.

The reference for power-duration modelling, sold as a separate desktop licence. Vekta builds it in and keeps it live.

TrainerRoad

It will write you a plan. It cannot see your files, your zones or your history. Vekta’s AI works inside the data that decides the session.

WHAT MAKES VEKTA DIFFERENT

Three things hold true in every comparison on this page.

Critical Power and W prime, not FTP

One threshold number cannot describe a rider. Vekta models sustainable power, the finite work above it, and how both hold as fatigue accumulates. Built from real sessions, updated daily, no test protocols.

Sessions arrive already read

Intervals detected, effort classified, and a written summary of what the session actually meant, delivered to the athlete and the coach at the same time. Both of you start from an answer instead of a file.

Free for coaches, one price for athletes

A coach account is free at any roster size, where most platforms charge the coach as well as the athlete. Athlete seats are €19.99/ month or €179.99/ year, covered by whoever you decide, and an athlete can use Vekta with no coach attached at all.
