About the Free Tier

Free doesn't mean a teaser.
It means free.

Most apps offer a free tier that expires in 7 days, locks every useful feature, or quietly upgrades your card without warning. RunSmart's free tier doesn't do any of that.

You get a real PT-designed training plan built around your actual schedule and goals. You get the first session of every strength, mobility, run form, and injury prevention program. You get run logging and notes. There's no expiry date and no credit card required — ever.

A lot of RunSmart runners stay on the free tier indefinitely. The mission is to build lifelong runners — the free tier was built to support exactly that.

  • ✓ Real PT-designed training plan
  • ✓ First session of every program
  • ✓ Run logging and notes
  • ✓ No expiry date
  • ✓ No credit card required
  • ✓ No trial that flips to paid
  • ✓ No dark patterns
Pro Features

Free gets you a real plan. Pro gives it more to work with.

The free tier gets you a real plan. Pro adds the layer of intelligence and integration that makes training more precise, more flexible, and more connected to your training data and your watch.

Pacing Pro
Run-specific pacing for every workout

Every run has a pace range built for that specific workout type — base, easy, progression, tempo, interval. The right pace for each run, not one pace for everything.

Weather Pro
Weather-adjusted pacing

RunSmart tracks local conditions and adjusts your target paces. Hot and humid? Your easy pace gets easier. Your body doesn't ignore the weather — your plan shouldn't either.

Scheduling Pro
Drag, shift, reschedule

Move runs without starting over. View your entire training block at a glance. Adjust when life happens — without guesswork or guilt.

Watch Sync Pro
Sends to your watch

Push workouts directly to your Apple Watch, Garmin, or COROS. Stay on pace without checking your phone mid-run.

Programs Pro
Full program library

Unlock every strength, mobility, run form, and nutrition program in full — not just the first session. The complete supporting system, all at once.

Results Pro
Full results tracking

Connect Garmin, Apple Watch, or COROS to sync your actual run data alongside your plan. Your training history, all in one place.

Free vs Pro

Free gets you running. Pro makes it precise.

Is the free tier actually useful?

Yes. You get a real PT-designed training plan, the first session of every program, and run logging — with no expiry and no credit card. A lot of RunSmart runners never upgrade. That's fine.

On Pro
What happens after 7 days?

If you don't cancel, Pro continues at $15/month or $119/year. If you do cancel, you drop to the free tier — you keep your plan and your history. Nothing disappears.

On cancelling
What if I want to cancel?

Cancel anytime from your account settings. No emails asking why. No retention offer you have to decline three times. You cancel, it stops.

On coaching
Is this the same as hiring a coach?

A personal running coach costs $200–500/month. Most are accomplished runners — not clinicians. RunSmart is a PT-designed system built on 15 years of clinical practice. The decisions behind your plan — mileage progression, load management, recovery structure — are clinical decisions, not a coach's opinion.

From Actual Runners
They didn't break.
They got faster.

Not sponsored. Not filtered. Real runners who stayed healthy, stayed consistent, and got faster as a result.
