They differ in what is free, what you pay for, and how you get the analysis. Here is an honest side-by-side, checked against Aimchess’s own site in November 2026. ## Aimchess vs Chess Goat at a glance Aimchess Chess Goat Sites Chess.com, Lichess and Chess24 Chess.com only (any PGN in the single-game review) Free One 40-game report a month, a weekly study plan, one daily training session Goat Card on up to 1,000 games, unlimited single-game Stockfish reviews, the first 3 lessons Deep analysis Premium: your last 1,000 games, unlimited reports Goat Report: up to 2,000 games, $5 once, no subscription What it measures Six skill scores: tactics, endgame, advantage capitalization, resourcefulness, time management, openings Six leaks ranked by the rating points they cost beyond your opponents, plus clock and tilt habits Training 13 trainers, puzzles from your mistakes, lessons from grandmasters and coaches Goat Pass: a lesson course with puzzles; misses come back on a spaced-repetition schedule Subscription Premium $7.99/mo or $57.99/yr Goat Pass $5/mo or $39/yr (optional) Apps iOS and Android Web on any device, a Chrome extension for chess.com, and ChatGPT and Claude apps For coaches Share data and lessons with your coach Share a report link Source: [Aimchess](https://aimchess.com/) homepage (features and pricing), checked November 2, 2026. Prices change; check before you buy. ## Where Aimchess is stronger - **You play on Lichess or Chess24.** Aimchess tracks accounts on all three sites. Chess Goat reads chess.com accounts only. - **You want many kinds of drills.** Thirteen trainers, from blindfold tactics to an advantage-capitalization trainer, are more variety than our course has. - **You want a phone app.** Aimchess has iOS and Android apps. Chess Goat runs in the browser, plus a Chrome extension on desktop. - **You work with a coach.** Aimchess lets you share your data and lessons with one. ## Where Chess Goat is different - **More is free.** Your Goat Card reads up to 1,000 games with no account, and every recent game is one click from a Stockfish review, with no monthly cap. - **One payment instead of a subscription.** The Goat Report analyzes up to 2,000 games for $5, once. You don’t need Goat Pass to get it. - **Rating points, not skill scores.** Each leak comes with what it costs you in rating, measured against your opponents in the same games, so you know which one to fix first. - **Habits, not just moves.** The card measures what an engine can’t see: how you play after a loss, when your clock runs low, and at which hours. - **Misses come back.** In Goat Pass, a puzzle you miss comes back on a spaced-repetition schedule, at longer gaps each time you get it right, until it sticks. It is fair to say the course is younger: Levels 1 to 3 (30 lessons, for 400 to 1400) are live and 2 more levels are being written. Aimchess has been at this longer. ## Which one should you pick? - **You play mostly on Lichess:** Aimchess. - **You play on chess.com and want to know what is costing you rating, without a subscription:** start with your free [Goat Card](https://trychessgoat.com/u/), then the Goat Report if you want the engine view. - **You want to compare more options**, including Chessable, Chessly and chess.com Premium: [six ways to train, side by side](https://trychessgoat.com/improve/compare/).
