Core Direction vs Miles

Core Direction is a fitness app for Android and iOS that uses a phone camera to assess the body, guide workouts, and show changes over time. Its AI Body Scan creates a personalized body analysis, while AI Workouts adapt to fitness level and provide live guidance and form feedback. The maker says its AI Personal Trainer can work without gym equipment and create bodyweight sessions. Core Coach answers questions about activity, Core Points, scans, workouts, habits, progress, and app use. Wearable connections support activity tracking, with guides for Apple Health on iOS and Google Health Connect on Android and instructions for Garmin, Oura, WHOOP, Huawei, Amazfit, Xiaomi, Polar, Suunto, Withings, and COROS. Members can organize events, invite others, and participate in challenges and competitions. Premium features are available for seven days without a card; afterward, the app returns to basic activity tracking unless you pay. Core Direction Premium costs $9.99/month, billed monthly, and can be cancelled anytime. AI workouts earn one Core Point per minute, up to 10 points per day.

Miles is an iOS running coach for goals ranging from a first 5K to a marathon. Miles Pro builds a week-by-week plan around current fitness and adjusts it when runs are missed. During runs, it tracks GPS pace and gives audio cues when pace moves off target, alongside structured intervals, tempo runs, and long runs. After each run, it provides coaching analysis of what worked and what to change. Plans cover 5K, 10K, half-marathon, and marathon goals; treadmill runs also receive structured workouts and post-run analysis. Miles Pro supports Apple Health and Bluetooth heart-rate monitors. The free plan includes iPhone run tracking, goal setting, and a plan preview. Miles Pro Monthly costs $14.99 a month; Miles Pro Annual costs $99.99 a year and starts with a 7-day free trial. The App Store lists compatibility with iPhone running iOS 18.5 or later and Apple Watch running watchOS 11 or later. Miles collects location and fitness data including GPS, pace, cadence, heart rate, and workout time. With consent, anonymised pace and distance data may be shared with an AI partner.
