# What's the difference between a coach and athlete account?

## The two types of accounts are essentially the same except that a coach has access to their athlete's data.

The difference between the coach and athlete accounts lies in the permissions they have.

 

|   | **Athlete Accounts** | **Coach Accounts** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Activity data** | View their own activities only | View their own and their athletes' data |
| **Quantriqs** | Make quantriqs on their own data only | Make quantriqs on their own and their athlete's data |
| **Account payments** | Pay for their own account | Can pay for their own and their athlete's accounts |

**Note:** An athlete can view their own runs, as well as the other athlete's runs, if they are all in the same quantriq.
