Comparison

ActivityStat vs Intervals.icu

Intervals.icu is a serious training-analysis platform — power and heart-rate curves, fitness/fatigue modelling, a workout builder and a training calendar. If you follow a structured plan, it is a better analysis tool than ActivityStat and this page will not pretend otherwise. The question is whether you want a second platform to visit, or your numbers on the activity you already posted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better, Intervals.icu or ActivityStat?

They answer different questions. If you are following a structured training plan and want to analyse power curves and modelled fitness, Intervals.icu is the stronger analysis tool. If you want your key numbers to appear on every Strava activity without opening anything, that is what ActivityStat does. Many athletes would be well served using both.

Does ActivityStat do structured training plans?

No. ActivityStat has no workout builder or training calendar — it enriches the activities you already record. If plan-building is what you need, Intervals.icu or a dedicated coaching platform is the better fit.
