Jbr Posted January 14, 2023 Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) From R239 to R599.99... yeaaaaaah, been renewing my strava very late after expiry the last two times, guess I won't renew next time, it's already not really worth the old price, let alone the new price. Komoot is way better at creating routes Intervals.icu is much better at analysis (I actually started supporting them yesterday after I realised the feature I've been hoping they'd add was there the entire time I just didn't know about it) Last thing I might miss is the segment explorer/heatmap that allows to find some places/see if the routes are currently open judging from recent leaderboards.

Expand The Suunto app is free and has a pretty decent heatmap feature. You don’t need a Suunto device to use it either. M L 1

I don't know anyone who records their workouts on a sunto so doubt it's relevent, but will have a look in case ! Surely komoot has some data but probably even less relevent than strava. I use komoot to create routes and then run them on my garmin, so komoot never knows I've done it or not, I'm pretty sure most users do that too.. M L 1

I use a Hammerhead Karoo and an Apple Watch. I was surprised at how good it is.

But for the tarmac crowd? Strava has the ability to suggest routes that are generally superior to what I've found on other apps, simply because of the large roadie user base. Robbie Stewart 1

michaelbiker Posted January 14, 2023 Posted January 14, 2023 We’ve been spoilt over the last decade or so with “free everything”. Companies need to make money to sustain these services and the current economic climate has made this pretty stark. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, I’d rather pay for the product than be the product. ajnkzn 1

Also when searching for a race i have not done, especially overseas, can usually find the race route no problem under garmin courses and get all the elevation data to review online, or use with bestbikesplit for pre race analysis , then send to my device for navigation if i need.
