Where TrainingPeaks wins
Coach workflows, multisport and deep analysis. If a person writes your training, this is the standard place for it.
Comparison
Runapt vs TrainingPeaks
TrainingPeaks is where coaches and data-minded athletes live. It shows load better than almost anything. What it does not do is write your plan. Runapt uses the same load ideas and does the writing and rewriting for you.

The verdict
Pick TrainingPeaks if you work with a coach or train for triathlon. Pick Runapt if you are a runner without a coach and want the plan written and adjusted for you, using the same load model.
No coach, no plan
Without a coach or a bought plan, TrainingPeaks mostly shows you what happened. Runapt decides what happens next, and moves it when life gets in the way.
Same numbers, fewer chores
Runapt models fitness and fatigue with CTL (42-day) and ATL (7-day) and caps single-session jumps, so the week gets shorter when you are flat.
