Trainingsparkle vs Skoma
Multi-sport training book from Strava or Garmin · compared with Skoma
Trainingsparkle is the closest thing to a direct competitor Skoma has. It also turns training data into a printed book, it also tells races apart from ordinary sessions automatically, and it covers more sports than Skoma does — running, cycling, swimming, hiking and skiing among them, with templates that change by activity.
The honest summary is that these two overlap heavily and differ at the edges. Trainingsparkle connects to Garmin directly and includes more pages; Skoma is Strava-native, hands you the layout to edit yourself, and starts lower with shipping included. Which of those matters more depends on where your data lives and how much you want to touch the design.

Which should you choose?
Choose Trainingsparkle if…
Choose Trainingsparkle if your training lives in Garmin rather than Strava, if your season spans several sports, or if you want a longer book at one fixed price — at 75 pages their flat rate works out below Skoma’s base plus per-page extras.
Choose Skoma if…
Choose Skoma if Strava is already where your training is, you want to move every element on the page yourself rather than submit a draft for review, and you want the entry price to include shipping.
