Apps for indoor trainer: Zwift, MyWhoosh, and ROUVY

FATRACING · Updated October 9, 2026

Start with the task: intervals according to the plan, a virtual race or a ride along a video route. Then check the connection of the app, computer and trainer. The same device can send power to the service, but not support load control or virtual shifting.

Which service suits your task?

Zwift: Consider for the virtual world, joint rides, races and structured training sessions. A subscription is required for regular access; check the supported equipment and platform for your version of the app.
MyWhoosh: Virtual riding and training. The manufacturer describes the app as free-to-play, but this does not mean the absence of restrictions on all functions. To create your own workouts and plans, there are free slots and separate subscription terms.
ROUVY: Video routes of real roads, classes and events. Full access is subscription-based; the tariff page also provides a limited free mode.
FATRACING Trainer: Intervals in the browser, ZWO import, ERG control via Bluetooth FTMS and downloading the result in FIT. A separate subscription to this tool is not required. Login is required for saving to the account.
WATAKATA: FATRACING virtual races in the browser. This is a separate mode; the beginning, devices and saving are explained in WATAKATA instructions.

Choosing does not require buying a yearly subscription right away. First, make sure that a short session can be completed and saved on your equipment.

Cost as of October 9, 2026

Zwift guide indicates 19.99 USD per month or 199.99 USD per year, or local equivalent, including applicable taxes. This is the price from the official statement, not a ruble offer from a Russian seller.

U ROUVY Single stated as 19.99 USD with monthly payment or 179.99 USD per year. The figure of 15 USD per month is a recalculation of the annual rate, which is paid upfront. The page offers a 7-day trial period and a free limit of 20 km per month; terms are subject to change.

MyWhoosh allows you to start without a mandatory ride subscription; check individual features and purchases in your account. FATRACING Trainer and WATAKATA are available without a separate subscription. Third-party integrations may have their own conditions.

Prices in foreign currency do not confirm payment with a Russian card. Before choosing a long-term tariff, check the availability of registration, payment, auto-renewal and cancellation specifically for your account.

Check the computer and machine

Find the exact name and generation of the machine in the compatibility list of the chosen service.
Separately check the power source, controllable resistance, and cadence. These roles can be connected by different devices.
Check the requirements for your computer or phone. Having Bluetooth does not replace the requirements for the operating system and graphics.
If you use Zwift Cog or virtual gears, check their support specifically in the chosen combination.

Official lists: MyWhoosh devices and ROUVY trainers. FATRACING management works via Bluetooth FTMS and a supported Web Bluetooth browser; there is no direct ANT+ connection on this page. Preparation is described in first start guide.

What is the ERG for

In ERG mode, the app sets the target power, and the trainer adjusts the resistance to match your pedaling. This mode is suitable for preset intervals. In route mode, the load may be determined by the slope and selected gear. Before starting, check which mode is active.

Connecting as a power meter allows you to see watts, but it does not include resistance control by itself. This requires the role of a controlled trainer and a compatible protocol. The order of connection is in a separate article.

If you don't have a trainer yet, read first How to choose a compatible model. Choosing an app and equipment is better to do together.

How to check the service before paying

Do a short familiar activity on your system. Check the readings, mode switching, and recording completion. If you need intervals, check at least one goal change, not just free pedaling.

After finishing, open the saved activity. Check the duration, power, and cadence if the sensor sent them. If you expect synchronization, find the activity in the target service. Recording in one app does not confirm sending to another.

In FATRACING, you can download a FIT file; save it as a backup. For planning your next session, there is workouts and constructor.

What is tested in comparison

Tariffs and requirements were verified with the official pages on October 9, 2026; FATRACING features were checked with the current code and site instructions. This is a comparison of capabilities and conditions, not a ranking based on the results of identical trips on a physical machine. Payment with a Russian card and end-to-end synchronization of each third-party service were not checked within the article.

Practical choice: to achieve your goal, start with the necessary intervals and exports; for races, start with available events and equipment rules; for video trips, start with routes of interest. Then check the compatibility and cost of the chosen option.
