Frequently Asked Questions

What happens after my free trial?

After 30 days, your account drops to the Free tier. You keep access to dashboard, basic metrics, and your last 30 activities. Upgrade anytime to unlock everything.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel anytime from Settings. Your access continues until the end of your billing period.

What payment methods do you accept?

We use Stripe for secure payments. All major credit and debit cards are accepted.

Is my data safe?

All data is stored securely. We only read your Strava activities — we never post or modify anything on your behalf.

Do I need a Strava account?

Strava is the primary way to import activities, but you can also create an account with email and password. Strava connection unlocks automatic activity sync.

Which sports are supported?

Cycling, running, swimming, hiking, and strength training. Each sport gets tailored analytics — power-based for cycling, pace-based for running and swimming.

How is my training load calculated?

We use exponentially weighted moving averages to compute chronic load (fitness) and acute load (fatigue). Your load balance shows the difference — positive means fresh, negative means fatigued.

Can I use Gradescale on my phone?

Gradescale works in any modern mobile browser. A native iOS and Android app is coming soon.

Can I export my workouts to my bike computer or trainer app?

Yes. Any planned workout exports in two taps from the workout menu or the day view. Choose FIT (Garmin, Wahoo, Hammerhead), ZWO (Zwift, Rouvy, MyWhoosh), or MRC (TrainerRoad, SYSTM), and the file downloads instantly. Running and swimming sessions export too, with no power number needed.

Can I pay yearly?

Yes — annual billing saves you about two months compared to paying monthly, on every plan.

Does Gradescale send me a weekly summary?

Yes. Each week you get a summary email with your training load, readiness, current streak, and a snapshot of your week. We keep emails useful and rare, and every one has a one-click unsubscribe.

How is Gradescale different from other training platforms?

Most platforms hand you charts and leave the interpretation to you. Gradescale is built insight-first. It models your physiology (your power-duration curve, training load balance, and readiness) and then explains what changed and why in plain language. The whole app works on your phone, your training data stays yours, and the core tools are free to use. Connect Strava in seconds and bring your full history with you.
