Compared
px and WHOOP Coach, compared.
WHOOP measures the night and the strain, and its coach talks you through the numbers. px is one coach across training, mind and food, for any device or none. Here is what each one does, and how to use both.
Checked against WHOOP’s published pages on 31 October 2026. Prices in US dollars.
What each one is
Two different jobs.
px
px is one coach across Move, Mind and Fuel. It builds a plan from your pursuit, sets each day from your sleep, training, calendar and how you feel, and gives the reason for every change. It reads your WHOOP through Apple Health or Google Health Connect, and it works without a wearable at all.
WHOOP Coach
WHOOP Coach is the AI assistant inside the WHOOP app. It answers questions about your WHOOP data (sleep, strain, recovery, stress) and suggests what to do with them. WHOOP is sold as an annual membership that includes the strap: One from $199 a year, Peak from $239 with the Sleep Coach, Strain Coach and stress monitor, and Life from $359 with the medical-grade WHOOP MG.

Which one
One, the other, or both.
WHOOP, if you want the measurement
A strap that measures the night, the strain and the recovery, and a coach that explains those numbers. WHOOP is excellent at the measuring, and nothing here changes that.
px, if you want the day decided
A plan for what you are pursuing, and each day set from the night you had, across training, mind and food, with the reason. px works with a WHOOP, a Garmin, an Oura or a phone alone.
Both, if you already wear one
Keep the strap on. WHOOP keeps measuring, px reads it and makes the call, and you stop carrying the decision between two apps.
Using both
WHOOP measures. px decides.
Turn on WHOOP’s connection to Apple Health on iPhone, or to Google Health Connect on Android. px reads what WHOOP writes there: your workouts, your sleep, your heart rate and blood oxygen. WHOOP’s own Recovery score stays in WHOOP; px sets your day from the night behind it, against your own normal.
px withholds the readings and workouts that come from WHOOP from every request it sends to its AI providers. The coach is told which readings were withheld, not what they said.
From px Insights
The decisions behind it.
Each morning’s call, worked through in writing: when the wearable says rest, when to train anyway, and how to tell tired from under-recovered.

Your wearable tells you what already happened. Biometric training turns sleep, HRV and heart rate into one clear decision about today, before you train.
Questions
Does px replace WHOOP?
No. px is not a wearable and makes no hardware. WHOOP measures; px reads what it measures and decides what to do about it across training, mind and food. Many members wear one and use the other.
Can px read my WHOOP Recovery score?
px reads the workouts, sleep, heart rate and blood oxygen WHOOP writes to Apple Health or Health Connect. The Recovery score itself stays in the WHOOP app. px sets your day from the night and the heart data behind it, against your own normal after the first week.
Do I need a WHOOP to use px?
No. A phone is enough. px works with Garmin and Oura directly, with more than thirty other apps and devices through Apple Health or Health Connect, and with nothing at all.
Tomorrow morning, already decided.
Seven days are free. By this time next week, px knows your normal.
