No single alternative recreates all of Aimchess. Lichess Tutor and Chess.com Advanced Stats cover much of the peer-comparison job. WintrChess is useful for free individual-game review. Chessdock builds a growing puzzle library from your Chess.com and Lichess mistakes. Aimchess itself still combines a weekly plan and varied training in one product when it works for you.
Aimchess did several jobs in one place. That is why looking for a single replacement can be frustrating: one tool has better statistics, another has free review, and another turns your games into practice.
I build Chessdock, which is one of the products below. Where I could not verify a feature, I have said so.
If you are mainly trying to work out whether Aimchess is still running, see Is Aimchess still active?.
Aimchess's current site describes four broad parts of the product:
Those jobs are now spread across several products.
It may sound odd to include Aimchess in an alternatives article, but the product is still for sale. If it works for you, staying is a reasonable option. Its current feature list still combines peer comparison, a weekly plan, personalized lessons, and a varied training room in one subscription.
The reason to look elsewhere is not that Aimchess has formally closed. It is the lack of public app releases since mid-2024 and the recurring reports of account or feature problems. You have to weigh the workflow you like against that uncertainty.
Lichess has long offered analysis, Insights, studies, themed puzzles, and Learn from Your Mistakes. Its feature list is worth checking because the tools are broader than a simple engine review.
The newer development is Lichess Tutor. Lichess began testing it in 2026. Tutor looks across your games and compares parts of your play with peers, including areas such as openings and clock use. That makes it a real alternative to Aimchess's diagnosis, not just a collection of raw charts. Availability has varied during the rollout, so check it from your own Lichess profile.
Lichess can also step through mistakes from an analyzed game and ask you to find a better move. What it does not currently reproduce is Aimchess's joined-up loop from diagnosis to a fresh weekly plan containing several kinds of personalized training. It is also centered on your Lichess activity; it is not a combined Chess.com and Lichess coaching history.
Chess.com released Insights in November 2021, before it acquired Play Magnus Group. Insights analyzes results, openings, tactics, game phases, time of day, and other patterns. Some views compare you with similarly rated players.
In June 2026, Chess.com added Advanced Stats. It assigns ratings for openings, tactics, strategy, and endgames by comparing your performance with players in the same rating range. This now covers much more of Aimchess's peer-diagnosis role than older comparisons suggest.
Both features require Diamond. They can show where you are behind your peers and point you toward an area to study. The missing piece is the next step: they do not automatically build an Aimchess-style weekly plan and fill it with drills derived from that diagnosis.
WintrChess focuses on game review. You can paste a PGN or select a public Chess.com or Lichess game, then inspect engine evaluations, accuracy, and move classifications. Its help page explains the supported inputs.
It is a practical choice when you want to understand one game without paying for Game Review. It is not presented as a weekly coach, and I would not choose it for peer comparison or a prescribed training schedule.
Chessdock connects to Chess.com and Lichess, analyzes new games, and creates puzzles from positions where you made an important mistake. Those puzzles form a personal library and continue to accumulate as you play. You can move between a puzzle and its full game review, bookmark useful positions, and choose which mistakes to revisit.
That is narrower than Aimchess. Chessdock does not currently have peer-relative skill scores, a weekly study plan, a dedicated opening trainer, or a report that aggregates your classifications into recurring cross-game patterns. The classifications help explain and organize individual mistakes; the product does not yet turn them into a diagnosis of your whole game.
You can test the basic review without an account by pasting a Chess.com or Lichess game into the free game review. It normally takes about a minute.
Smaller products are moving quickly in this area. Backrank offers spaced-repetition training from Chess.com and Lichess blunders. FireChess says it finds repeated patterns across a player's games and builds targeted training. I have not tested either deeply enough to rank them alongside the products above, so check their current limits, pricing, and platform support before relying on this summary.
If the weekly study plan was the reason you paid, Aimchess still provides that workflow in one product. A human coach can replace the planning, but at a different price and with more scheduling.
For free peer-relative diagnosis, try Lichess Tutor first. If you already pay for Chess.com Diamond, look at Advanced Stats before adding another subscription. For a free review of one game, WintrChess and Lichess both cover the basic job. For an automatically growing set of puzzles from both Chess.com and Lichess games, Chessdock is designed around that narrower loop.
Your original games remain on the platform where you played them, but your progress does not transfer neatly between training products. Expect to lose lesson history, streaks, saved plans, and similar product-specific data when you switch.
If you have paid for Aimchess, I would like to know which feature kept you subscribed and what you found missing elsewhere. You can reach me through the contact page. That feedback will also help keep this comparison grounded in how people actually used the product.
