At this time, a premium TrainingPeaks account costs ~$20 USD per month. If you just signed up to TrainingPeaks for the first time, then you got a Premium account for free for the first 14 days. After the 14 day trial your account switches to Basic.
TrainingPeaks has a few pages that explain the features and benefits of each plan:

One of the biggest advantages of the Premium subscription is the ability to move workouts around on your calendar. This is especially helpful when you buy an “off the shelf” plan that isn’t customized for you by a coach.
If you are just starting out and trying to decide if you like following a structured plan and using an app, then we recommend that you invest in a month or two of Premium so you can experience the full value of the app and learn all it has to offer. You can downgrade your account without penalty later if you change your mind.
Following a structured training plan has numerous health and performance benefits. One of the biggest factors to success if being consistent with your training. You might find that paying for a Premium account helps you be more consistent with your training because you’ll have a little more “skin in the game” (i.e. your hard earned money!)
FYI: If you join our Technique & Training Program the cost of a premium account is included in the program. The Training and Technique Program includes a custom training plan written just for you, ongoing coach support, plus video calls to discuss ski technique and get video feedback.
