Flo and Phaes are good at different things
Flo is one of the most polished cycle trackers in the world, and its perimenopause score is a real, validated way to see how hard your symptoms are hitting. If what you want is to understand your cycle and log how you feel, Flo does that well, and Phaes is not trying to out-log it.
Phaes answers a different question. Once you know what your cycle and recovery are doing, what should you actually do in training this week? Phaes is a women-specific running and strength coach, so your cycle is not a chart you read, it is an input that changes the plan.
What Phaes adds on top of tracking
A plan that moves with your cycle and your recovery
A short daily check-in (sleep, energy, soreness, symptoms, cycle phase) feeds straight into your training. Hard sessions land when you recover well; the plan eases off when the same load would cost you more. See how cycle-based training works.
Strength programmed alongside the running
Phaes builds heavy resistance work into the same plan as your runs, with day-level locking so neither gets dropped. That matters more through perimenopause and menopause, when protecting bone and muscle is as important as the mileage.
Plenty of women keep both: Flo for the symptom picture, Phaes for the training that responds to it. They are not mutually exclusive, they just do different jobs.
