Streeka and Spoked are both AI cycling coaches built for riders who want a real, personalised plan without paying for a human coach. Both adapt to how your training is going and to the time you actually have. They're more alike than not — so the question is which approach fits you.
The short version
Spoked builds you a flexible, personalised plan designed around professional coaching, and adapts it based on your progress and feedback. Its strength is value and flexibility: there's a free tier, a low monthly price, and you can export your workouts into the tools you already use — Garmin Connect, TrainingPeaks, Zwift.
Streeka puts the conversation first. You chat with it in plain language — "I'm cooked, should I still do Saturday?" — and when it changes your week it explains why each session moved. It connects directly to your Garmin or Wahoo, reads what you actually rode, and talks it through.
Where Spoked is strong
Credit where it's due — Spoked is excellent value and genuinely flexible. Its plans are shaped by professional coaches, it's been refined with everyday riders since 2017, and there's a free tier plus a low-cost paid plan. If you live in Zwift or TrainingPeaks and want a smart, affordable plan to feed into them, Spoked fits that workflow neatly.
Where Streeka is different
1. It's a conversation.
Streeka is a coach you talk to in plain language, not a plan you export and execute. Ask it a question and get a straight, reasoned answer grounded in your own rides. (Text chat — you type, no voice required.)
2. It explains every decision.
When Streeka changes your week, it tells you what it saw, what it's protecting, and what it traded off — so you finish the week understanding it, not just following it.
3. Direct Garmin and Wahoo sync.
Streeka connects straight to your Garmin or Wahoo to read your rides and push your sessions — no exporting files or routing through a third tool.

Who should pick which
Spoked is a great choice if you want an affordable, flexible, pro-designed plan to export into Zwift, TrainingPeaks or Garmin Connect — especially if a free tier matters.
Streeka is the better fit if you want a coach you can talk to — one that explains every change in plain language and syncs straight to your Garmin or Wahoo. It's built for the desk-job cyclist who's serious about getting faster but has a genuinely messy schedule.
Sam built Streeka because he couldn't find an app that did this — so he built one, and he's still the first user.
Common questions
Spoked is shutting down — what should I switch to?
Spoked shuts down on 1 July 2026 and is offering departing users free access to icTrainer, an indoor smart-trainer app rather than a coach. If you want a coaching replacement, Streeka is an AI cycling coach you chat with: it reads what you actually rode from Garmin or Wahoo, rebuilds your week when life gets in the way, and explains every change in plain language. There is a 2-week free trial, and your ride history lives in Garmin or Wahoo — so nothing needs to be exported out of Spoked.
Is Streeka a good alternative to Spoked?
Yes. Both are AI cycling coaches that build a personalised plan and adapt it to your progress and your real-life schedule. The difference is emphasis: Streeka leads with a plain-language coaching conversation and explains why it changed each session, and it syncs directly with Garmin and Wahoo. Spoked focuses on flexible, pro-coach-built plans you can export into tools like Garmin Connect, TrainingPeaks and Zwift, with a free tier and low monthly price.
What is the main difference between Streeka and Spoked?
Spoked is plan-first and great value — flexible, personalised plans built by professional coaches that you can export to your other apps. Streeka is conversation-first — you chat with it in plain language, it explains every change, and it connects straight to your Garmin or Wahoo.
Does Streeka use my real cycling data?
Yes. Streeka reads what you actually rode from Garmin or Wahoo, then explains it in plain language — real data in, a coach’s reasoning out.
How much does Streeka cost?
Free for two weeks, then $14/month in the US and $29/month in Australia. iOS and Android.
