What else you could do instead

Four honest comparisons against the alternatives people actually weigh Train Smart against. Each one names what the alternative does better, and each one ends with the people who should not buy this.

Why we compare categories, not named products. A named-product comparison requires asserting current facts about someone else’s roadmap that we cannot verify and that go stale within months. It is also where comparison pages start inventing weaknesses. So we compare against categories, describe what each does well, and let you decide.
