I had no intention of using the Echelon app simply because 99% of it's functionality is tailored toward having a subscription. As soon as I saw the freestyle window as a full screen ad with a tiny stats bar at the bottom, I knew that app was coming off. There's supposed to be a way to re-load the Echelon app if you want to keep using it but I haven't figured that out yet.
I paid for the qdomyos-zwift app off the Amazon appstore and installed that on the tablet instead. It has a relatively basic interface but displays all the important info I need (cadence, speed, resistance level, etc.). It's also able to interact with the Peleton app if desired, which I hear good things about. For now, I have Plex & YouTube Vanced loaded on the tablet and run that with the qdomyos-zwift app in the background or in split screen.
EDIT: I was finally able to re-load the Echelon app after following step 5 on post 532 [xda-developers.com]. Installing the app this way allows you to do everything the stock Echelon app would (including update the bike itself) but will not firmware update the tablet and lock it back down in the process.

it shows you how to hack the echelon tablet to install the apps you like, and also to split the screen to display qdomyos-zwift and peleton app together, so you can enjoy the peleton app with a more reasonable monthly fee

IC4 from Schwinn literally advertises you can use the bike with Peloton.

But tempted to get Echelon EX-4s+ from Costco as it seems to be a better bike overall. That's just may be my assumption and both bikes may be equally good. I am fine with putting my own tablet on IC4 when I exercise and I will be beginner on stationary bike.
I am confused right now what should I do. Is it worth an effort to return IC4 at target and get EX-4s+ from Costco?

I don't think you can go wrong with either choice. I liked that the EX-4s+ has a VESA mount that I could mount a monitor or TV on there later if I chose. If you're technically inclined and want to leave the tablet attached, after the 1-year Echelon sub is up, you can sideload QZ and Peloton to go with a less expensive monthly solution:

I am not able to get my head off the trouble of returning heavy IC4 box to target so will probably keep IC4 and not go for EX-4s+ even though it may be better value at $500 which is only 50 more for me than what I paid for IC4.
For me using my own tablet may work better as I tend to watch YouTube, listen music and browse internet while doing treadmill and now biking.
Wish Target had delayed IC4 delivery then I would have gone for EX-4s+ by cancelling target order. Can FedEx pick it up from my house if I initiate target online return of IC4 and have to send it back?
