Aimlabs vs KovaaK's

The two biggest aim trainers take opposite bets. Aimlabs is free and sells a subscription. KovaaK's costs $9.99 once and gives away its benchmarks. Here's what each gets you, what it costs over a year, and which one players are moving to.

The short verdict

Pick KovaaK's if

you'll train for 20 minutes or more most days, want the deepest scenario library and benchmarks, are on Windows, and would rather pay once.

Pick Aimlabs if

you don't want to pay up front, play VALORANT and want its official content, or play on PlayStation or Xbox.

Pick neither if

you want a five-minute warm-up before ranked with no launcher, or you're on a Mac or Chromebook. A browser trainer fits that better.

Price: subscription vs pay once

Aimlabs is free to download and the core trainer costs nothing. What players most often say they want from it is paid: the Sensitivity Finder, training programs built for VALORANT, CS2 and Apex, the AI coach and the deeper metrics all need Aimlabs Pro. That's $10 a month, $27 every three months or $42 every six months. There's no annual plan on the website and no free trial, though some Logitech and Corsair hardware comes with free months. On console, the Professional Edition bundles a year of membership with credits and skins.

KovaaK's is $9.99 on Steam, with regional prices (for example ₹509 in India) and sales of 15 to 20% most months. After that, every training feature is included. It wasn't always this way: in 2022 KovaaK's put its new benchmarks behind a "Plus" subscription, inside a game people had already bought, and the backlash still tops its negative reviews. In April 2024 it made benchmarks, workouts and competitions free and turned Plus into an optional Supporter pass ($1.99 a month up to $9.99 a year) for a badge, name colour, region leaderboards and Discord perks.

Over a year: KovaaK's costs $9.99. Aimlabs costs $0 if you never subscribe, $84 on the six-month plan, or $120 paid monthly.

Content and depth

KovaaK's store page counts more than 31,000 scenarios and 150,000 playlists, nearly all made by players, plus a full scenario and map editor. That library is why serious aimers end up there: any routine a coach or creator recommends is a share code away. The flip side is that a new player faces a wall of options with little guidance unless they follow a routine or the Voltaic benchmarks.

Aimlabs has thousands of community tasks too, and it is far more guided: daily missions, adaptive tasks that adjust to you, and official content made with Riot (real VALORANT maps and weapons). Aimlabs 2.0, released in September 2026, made its core flick, track and switch training plans free and kept the game-specific plans in Pro. In October 2026 it made Task Tuning free as well.

Which one players are choosing

Steam records how many people are in each app at once. Over the last 30 days Aimlabs averaged 4,358 players online and KovaaK's 2,995. Aimlabs is still bigger, but the trend runs the other way:

−47%Aimlabs monthly average, Aug 2024 to Sep 2026
+40%KovaaK's monthly average, Oct 2025 to Sep 2026
78%Aimlabs recent Steam reviews positive (831 reviews), vs 90% all-time
90%KovaaK's recent Steam reviews positive (432 reviews), vs 93% all-time

KovaaK's set a new all-time peak of 4,508 players this month. Reading the recent reviews, the gap is less about training and more about how each sells: KovaaK's complaints are mostly launch bugs, while Aimlabs complaints often mention the Pro prompts and features that moved behind the paywall.

Sensitivity, feel and setup

Both let you match your in-game sensitivity. KovaaK's has a free sens converter on its website. Aimlabs has a free converter too, while its Sensitivity Finder, which tests you to suggest a sens, is in Pro. Both are Windows downloads through Steam, so you'll launch Steam, then the app, then check your settings before the first shot. That's fine for a long session and a real cost for a quick warm-up.

Whatever you choose, use the same cm/360 as your game. Our sensitivity converter shows it for VALORANT, CS2, Apex, Overwatch 2 and more.

Where a browser trainer fits

Plenty of players own KovaaK's or Aimlabs and still skip their warm-up, because opening a desktop app before every session is friction. A browser trainer removes it: open a tab, shoot at your real sens, queue. Online Aim Trainer (ours) does exactly that, free, with Iron to Radiant ranks on each drill and a global leaderboard. It doesn't try to replace KovaaK's for long benchmark sessions. It covers the five minutes before you play, which our data says matter: across 7,584 warm-ups, the second attempt at a drill scored 9% higher than the first.
