What do I get with Focal Pro vs the free plan?

Getting started with your fitness journey means choosing the right tools for the job. Focal offers a robust free tier alongside a premium subscription called Focal Pro to suit different tracking styles. The free plan is designed to give you everything you need to log workouts, track check-ins and engage with the community to earn XP. On the other hand, Focal Pro is built for those who want deeper analytics, time-saving AI tools and advanced performance insights. By understanding exactly what is included in both options, you can select the setup that best suits your goals. Read on to discover the specific features, monthly allowances and subscription details for both tiers.

Focal provides a powerful foundation for all users without requiring a subscription. You can consistently log your gym workouts and view past sessions at any time on the History tab. You also have full access to daily check-ins, core social features, streaks and the ability to earn XP.

• Full access to logging standard training and gym workouts
• View past workout sessions on the History tab
• Keep track of one active training programme
• Use up to 10 AI food lookups per month (including photo, describe, barcode, label and recipe card scanning)

Managing your daily dietary intake is faster with Focal Pro. While free users receive 10 AI food lookups per month, upgrading expands this allowance significantly and introduces new ways to log meals when eating out.

• 300 AI food lookups per month
• Exclusive access to the restaurant menu scanner
• Adaptive calorie coaching to keep your goals aligned with your real-world progress

Focal Pro unlocks detailed performance insights and automated planning tools. During active sessions, free users manually log every set. Pro users benefit from one-tap suggested progression sets, which automatically add the next logical weight or rep target based on previous sessions.

• AI workout and programme planners
• Ability to manage multiple active programmes simultaneously
• Progress photo comparison and weight trend analytics
• Per-exercise trend charts on the Progress tab for estimated one-rep max, volume or reps
• Personal records, rep records and shareable exercise progress cards

Focal Pro is available as a paid subscription on iOS via your Apple ID. You can choose between a monthly or an annual billing cycle. To cancel your subscription and avoid auto-renewal, you must do so directly in your Apple ID subscription settings.

• Annual plan includes a 14-day free trial
• Monthly plan bills immediately with no introductory trial
• Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled manually in Apple settings

During the initial launch phases, Focal offered up to 100 lifetime Pro slots. These slots were granted via a special referral code during onboarding. If you secured a founding member slot, you receive all Focal Pro features for life without ever paying a subscription fee.
