Alternative
GaloPlan, the multi-platform alternative to My Cheval
My Cheval (“My Cheval: Horse Management”) is a complete app for a horse's profile and tracking, on iPhone. The reasons to look for an alternative are often platform and team coordination. Let's compare.
What My Cheval does well
My Cheval offers **rich horse profiles** (passport, documents, photos, medical info), GPS tracking of rides, an appointment calendar, expense tracking and profile sharing with co-owners, a coach, a vet or a stable manager. It is a good ecosystem for documenting a horse.
What GaloPlan adds
GaloPlan is available on **iPhone, Android and computer** through the web, whereas My Cheval is today centred on the iPhone (web version announced). It is built around team coordination: a “who rides which day” schedule and a real-time team chat. The interface is available in English and French.
On price, My Cheval's media and advanced features go through in-app purchases, while GaloPlan's chat media (photos, GIFs, videos) are part of the paid Cavalier and Écurie plans, with the free plan offering text chat.
