RUNALYZE: cost, fit and limits
RUNALYZE is a training analysis platform for runners and other endurance athletes that syncs activities from many devices, calculates effective VO2max and performance curves, and offers a paid tier that connects Claude, ChatGPT or Mistral through an MCP server.
What to know first
RUNALYZE has a free plan and two paid tiers, Early Premium and Supporter, printed at €2.50 per month or €27.50 per year and €5.50 per month or €60 per year. The pricing page does not make clear which price belongs to which tier name, so that mapping is unconfirmed here. Payments go through Paddle, and the maker is not named on the pages opened beyond a team based in Kaiserslautern and Kiel, Germany.

Who RUNALYZE is best for
Data-minded runners
Effective VO2max, performance curves and a performance monitor are part of the €0 plan, so the main analysis does not require a subscription.
Runners who like route and HRV history
Premium adds recurring routes, a personal route map and historic HRV values, plus quality sessions and best segments analysis. These tools sit in the paid tier.
People who want an AI to read their log
The paid tier lists AI assistants through an MCP server, described on the home page as working with Claude, ChatGPT or Mistral.
Athletes with several devices
Automatic sync is on the free plan and the home page says devices from many manufacturers are supported. Which devices work was not itemized.

What RUNALYZE does
- Effective VO2max
- A free-plan metric that estimates running fitness from your activities and feeds the performance curves. The pricing page lists effective VO2max among the features available without paying, next to performance curves.
- AI assistants via MCP
- The paid tier connects an outside assistant to your account through the RUNALYZE MCP server, so questions about your log run on that assistant. The home page names Claude, ChatGPT and Mistral as assistants you can connect.
- Route features
- Recurring routes and a personal route map group the loops you repeat, which is handy for comparing times over the same course. Both are paid-tier items on the pricing page.
- Analysis views
- Quality sessions, best segments and moving average mileage give structured views of training beyond a plain activity list. Quality sessions analysis, best segments analysis and moving average mileage are all listed on the pricing page.
- Poster generator
- A paid-tier item that turns your activities into a printable poster, listed next to map layers on the pricing page. Both sit among the extras that the pricing page assigns to the paid side.
How RUNALYZE handles your data
No privacy policy or terms page was opened for RUNALYZE, so retention, hosting region, certifications and model-training use are all unchecked here. Paid tiers are billed through Paddle. The home page says the team is based in Kaiserslautern and Kiel, Germany, but that describes where people work, not a stated legal entity, and no company name appeared. The AI feature works through an outside assistant over MCP, so whatever you ask is also subject to that assistant provider's terms.
Where RUNALYZE falls short in practice
- Price mapping is ambiguous. Two sets of paid prices are printed, and the page text does not tie each to a tier name, so check the checkout screen. The pricing page text order does not map them.
- AI is paid only. The feature table marks AI assistants (MCP) as a paid item, so the €0 plan has analysis but no assistant link. A buyer who wants the assistant link must pay, so the free plan cannot be used to test it.
- Operator not named. The pages opened show no company name or country, which matters if you need a contract partner. Check the footer for an imprint before agreeing to a paid plan.
