Price for Strava Subscription Almost Doubles

[Tony S]

What did I miss? Is this related to the FatMap merger?

There was a big brouhaha about this. I think Strava guy resigned as a result. Where you been?;?!

Here on SkiTalk, or just generally? Yes, been out of it.

That's a big jump.

For me, personally, zero times price hike still equals zero!

After Layoffs and Confusing Price Changes, Strava CEO Steps Down

Michael Horvath co-founded Strava in 2009 but left the company in 2013. He returned in 2019, only to announce his second resignation on February 13 this year.

It's not just you Tony. Basically resigned because of incredibly poor communication and timing..

 

[Tony S]

Okay, well, I jumped through some hoops to change my billing cycle from monthly to annual and now I'm back at almost the same annual cost.

I stopped using Strava back around 2016/2017. I didnt need an app to tell me I was the 159th slowest person up a climb that day! Although the one time I happened to see i was faster than Ned Overend on a segment was a huge ego stroke(he was probably riding his beach cruiser with his grandkid).

garmin connect has plenty of features for me and its free.

Agreed. If I need that kind of info, I'll pin on a number (or chip these days) and go find an actual race.

Rather than terrorize other casual users on the trail.

Though, to be fair, the vast majority of S users I know are not "that guy".

I use the free version. Which last year, I think, didn't let me review my annual stats. Bummer. Still, if you didn't Strava it, it didn't happen.

 

[Wasatchman]

The people I know that use Strava are total addicts. I expect them to pony up the extra cost.

The desktop free version is a lot more complete than the mobile free version. For now

'Zackly.

Strava track and a pic or it didn't happen.

Did you even consider just doing Ride With GPS and Strava free ...or?

I stopped using Strava back around 2016/2017. I didnt need an app to tell me I was the 159th slowest person up a climb that day!

I stop using Strava every time I have a massive injury - and even delete the account - but then I find recovery is much much more motivated by having a new account ~30 days later.

*officially stopped using Strava in 2002 and in 2011 and in 2015 and...*

garmin connect has plenty of features for me and its free.

So having Garmin Connect and free Strava is still free

Obviously the tech model is to gather a critical mass of users and then start raising prices. Really though how much do people spend on their fitness and outdoor recreation and then get bugged out by a $20 burger or $50 app?

Strava is sponsoring the NEG.
Everyone will be tracked, no lame “I was there but didn’t see you guys” lines.

Tony is still sick and unable to muster any kind of rejoinder.
