Their name on the icon
Your clients open your app, not someone else’s with your logo inside. Branding is part of every plan, not an upgrade.
Final Surge alternative
Your runners. Your app.
Final Surge is a solid training platform your athletes use under the Final Surge name. Athvilo puts your coaching in an app with your name on it: weekly plans, every run logged with effort and feel, and your feedback on each session. From $15 a month.
Founding Partners: $15 a month, 20 active paying athletes included.

Athvilo prices are the Founding Partners plan ($15 a month with 20 active paying athletes included, then $0.25 each). Final Surge figures are from finalsurge.com/pricing (monthly billing), checked 30 October 2026. Final Surge also offers yearly billing at about 17% less. Its Pro plan covers up to 100 athletes; above that, Final Surge prices on request. Final Surge is a trademark of its owner; Athvilo isn’t affiliated with it.
Why coaches switch.
No App Store project
No developer account, no review queue, no listing to maintain. Clients add your app to their home screen from your link.
A bill that grows slowly
No tiers to jump between. Each active paying client above 20 adds $0.25. Paused, trial and past clients cost nothing.
Live by tonight
Name it, pick your colours and photo, invite your clients. Minutes, not a setup project.
Coaching, not admin
Weekly plans, session logs with effort and feel, a feedback thread on every session, and one inbox for all of it.

When Final Surge is the better fit.
We’d rather you choose right than switch twice. Final Surge is probably better for you if:
- Automatic sync with Garmin, Apple Watch or other devices is a must today.
- You coach 100 athletes on a flat $39 and don’t need your own branding.
- Your athletes already use Final Surge and like it.
- You coach triathletes and need multi-sport training analysis.
If what you want is your own app on your athletes’ phones, coaching that feels personal, and a small, predictable bill, Athvilo is built for you.
Switching takes an evening.

Questions coaches ask.
Is Athvilo cheaper than Final Surge?
Yes, up to 100 athletes. Athvilo Founding Partners pay $15 a month for up to 20 active paying athletes and $35 for 100. Final Surge is $19 for up to 5 athletes and $39 for up to 100; above 100 it prices on request.
Does Athvilo sync with Garmin or Strava?
Not yet. Athletes log each run in your app with distance, time, effort (RPE) and how it felt. If automatic watch sync is a must today, Final Surge is the better fit.
Do my athletes need to download an app?
No. They open your invite link and add your app to their home screen in one tap, on iPhone or Android.
Can I use my own training plans?
Yes. Start from a 5K, 10K or half marathon template, or build your own week by week for any distance up to the marathon.
