"It's too dangerous and expensive to ride with d*ckheads" -tridork

Per above, the big three are TrainerRoad, Zwift, and The Sufferferst. Each has things they are best at.

• TrainerRoad - structured plans for about any type of event and distance
• Zwift - Gamification of traning activities
• The Sufferfest - Killer workouts optimized around a more discrete understanding of your power

There are dozens more, including the Wahoo app. Pick the one that matches you and your preferences, not the one that someone else may argue is the "best." For example, my favorite is TrainerRoad, because I like the long view of workouts and the structure. However, the UI is totally lame. But, I watch Netflix, so I do not care. Zwift people absolutely love the UI and virtual competitions against other riders. That motivates them to be on the bike.

Following up on what everyone else said....download those 3 apps, sign up for the trial periods...figure out which one suits you best, and delete the other two.

You didn't mention what OS you are using.

The big 3 have been mentioned.

If you are on iOS I would also checkout Hurts Ergo.

It's like Trainer Road without the plans. Find a workout from ErgDB you like and it will control the kicker for you. The app is free to use but you need to pay a small one time fee if you want to save your workout.
