COMPARISON
AiM builds elite hardware. ApexIngest builds the web analysis layer that makes it actionable for every rider, not just engineers.
AiM
£499
Motorsport-grade GPS lap timer and data logger with Race Studio 3 desktop analysis suite. Used across club racing and serious track programmes.
ApexIngest
£9
Analysis SaaS for motorcycle telemetry. Imports AiM CSV exports, adds corner coaching, setup tracking, coach mode, and a modern web dashboard.
AiM builds some of the best motorsport loggers on the market — bombproof cases, 10+ Hz GPS, optional inertial platform, ECU bridge. ApexIngest doesn't compete on hardware; bring your AiM.
AiM's Solo 2 DL and EVO5 have integrated lap time displays. You see splits without pulling out your phone. ApexIngest is a post-session web tool.
AiM Race Studio 3 is a mature desktop analysis suite with channel maths, raw channel overlays, and full telemetry graphs. It's the right tool for engineering-level deep dives.
ApexIngest is entirely browser-based — works on any device, shareable with coaches and teammates via a link, no desktop software to install or licence.
ApexIngest analyses every corner, identifies your slowest one with a time delta vs your best lap, and turns that into a structured drill plan. Race Studio graphs data but doesn't coach.
ApexIngest runs an LLM coaching pass on every imported session and builds a rolling rider profile across the season. AiM has no AI coaching layer.
ApexIngest logs suspension and tyre setup per session and diffs it against your previous visits to the same track. AiM Race Studio doesn't manage bike setup.
ApexIngest has multi-rider team dashboards. Coaches can set drill plans per rider per track. AiM Race Studio is a single-engineer, single-machine tool.
AiM is a one-time hardware purchase (£499+). ApexIngest is £9/month subscription. The AiM logger pays for itself over time; ApexIngest layered on top adds more value per month than a coffee.
AiM hardware is excellent and Race Studio gives engineers what they need for deep channel analysis. But it's a desktop tool built for one person — not a modern web platform a whole team shares. ApexIngest is what you add on top: import your AiM CSV export and get corner coaching, a lean angle overlay, setup tracking, and a shareable dashboard that your coach can open on a phone in the pitlane.
Already running AiM? Export from Race Studio as CSV and import it into ApexIngest in one click. Your AiM data becomes corner-by-corner coaching, lap overlays, setup tracking, and a web dashboard your coach can review live — without touching Race Studio again.
From £9/month. Works with RaceBox, AiM, MoTeC, Starlane, RaceChrono, and more. Join the waitlist for early access.
