M0VE vs. Hexis
Hexis is the app closest to M0VE. Its Carb Coding sets your daily calorie, carb and macro targets from the type, intensity and duration of your training, looking back at yesterday and ahead to tomorrow, and gives each meal a red, amber or green carb code. It syncs your planned and completed training and has a Coach Hub for practitioners. M0VE does the same core job for endurance athletes, and adds gels, drinks and bars built in, nutrition label scanning and a lower price.
In short. Hexis and M0VE both plan your daily carbs around your training and fuel your sessions. M0VE adds a built-in catalogue of gels, drinks and bars and nutrition label scanning, and the Athlete plan is €39.99 a year.

The same idea: carbs that follow your training
Hexis sets your targets from the type, intensity and duration of each workout, and each day accounts for yesterday's training and tomorrow's plan. Each meal gets a colour, green for high carb, amber for moderate and red for low, and if the session you complete differs from the plan, the codes are recalculated.
M0VE works the same way round. Your calories, carbs, protein and fat are rebuilt every morning around what is planned, so a rest day, a training day and a race day each get their own numbers.
Session fuel, down to the gel
Hexis gives you an intra-workout fuelling plan with visual cues. M0VE sets a carbs per hour target for every session from its duration, power and sport, adds fluid and sodium per hour, and keeps gels, chews, bars and drinks from real brands in the app, so your session fuel takes a few taps. Hexis lets you add your own gels and electrolyte tabs as supplements. A built-in catalogue is not listed.
Logging, and what it costs
Both apps log food by AI photo and barcode. M0VE also reads nutrition labels and lets you describe a meal in plain words. Label scanning is not listed for Hexis.
Hexis lists €109.99 a year or €16.99 a month on its sign-up page, and €129.99 a year on its athlete page, sold on the web. M0VE Athlete is €39.99 a year or €4.99 a month, with a 14-day free trial.
Where Hexis wins
Hexis is built on a detailed carb model, and its help centre explains it well. It also has a free race day fuelling calculator on the web, with hourly carb targets for the bike and the run, and its Coach Hub runs in any browser, which suits practitioners working with a team.
