From runners’ experiences
Questions behind the comparisons
Endorphins is highly rated, averaging 4.9 stars on the US App Store when we checked. These are the questions most likely to decide between the two apps.
Keeping a premium plan within your budget
Endorphins’ personalized plans, race predictions, and AI coaching chat are part of Premium, at $19.99/month or $119.88/year after a 7-day trial. [1]
Context: The free tier is generous for community and data: group runs, race chats, wearable data, heart rate zones, and training load. [1]
How Toga addresses this
Toga is $59.99 a year or $9.99 a month, half of Endorphins Premium, and the 14-day free trial is twice as long. One subscription covers your plan, the AI coach, post-run analysis, race predictions, strength, prehab, and injury recovery programs.
Training through an injury
Endorphins lists recovery programs for after a race or injury among its plan types. [2]
Context: Runners managing a recurring injury usually need day-to-day feedback as well as a return-to-running plan.
How Toga addresses this
Toga’s injury recovery programs use phased rehab with a green/yellow/red pain system. Daily pain check-ins shape what comes next, and prehab routines are built around your injury history. If pain spikes, Toga flags it and the coach helps you adjust. It does not diagnose injuries and will point you to a clinician.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, about half the price. In the US, Toga is $59.99 a year or $9.99 a month. Endorphins Premium is $119.88 a year or $19.99 a month. Toga’s free trial is 14 days versus Endorphins’ 7, and Toga’s price includes the AI coach, strength, prehab, and injury recovery programs. [1]
Yes. Endorphins Premium includes unlimited AI coaching chat about your wearable data, plus personalized plans and race predictions. Toga’s AI coach also acts on the conversation: it moves your long run, recalibrates your paces, adds a prehab routine, or rebuilds a week, using your full training history and what you have told it before. [1]
Yes, if in-person group runs matter to you. Endorphins hosts more than 1,500 free group runs a year in over 12 US cities, and its community features are free. Toga focuses on your individual training, and its run club features are limited to partner clubs. Some runners use a local club alongside Toga. [1][2]
Toga has more dedicated injury tools. Its recovery programs use phased rehab, a green/yellow/red pain system, and daily pain check-ins, and its prehab routines target your injury history. Endorphins lists post-injury recovery programs. Neither app diagnoses injuries, so see a clinician for anything that needs one. [2]
