Strava hikes monthly subscription price by more than 25 per cent Strava hikes monthly subscription price by more than 25 per cent Price rises from PS6.99 to PS8.99 for monthly subscribers * Share on Facebook * Share on Twitter * Share on Pinterest * Share on Whatsapp * Share on Reddit * Email to a friend This competition is now closed By Nick Clark Published: January 6, 2023 at 4:53 pm Strava has increased the price of its subscription service from PS6.99 to PS8.99 for monthly subscribers, with the annual subscription increasing from PS47.99 to PS54.99. Advertisement Strava's subscription service brings access to advanced features that aren't available to free users, such as route planning, a training dashboard and, since May 2020, segment competition. The updated pricing structure, which represents an increase of more than 25 per cent from the existing rate, is also in place for new subscribers, while those already on a monthly plan will see the price rise in their next bill, BikeRadar understands. Strava's annual payment option, which has risen from PS47.99 to PS54.99, reduces the effective monthly cost to less than PS5. Users can still access Strava for free, enabling them to track and share activities through the popular cycling app. Rides can be recorded via a mobile phone, compatible smartwatch or bike computer, with the free version only offering Strava's live-tracking beacon service on mobile phones. It is unclear if the increase relates only to users in the UK or if this is a global change. Strava is far from alone in pushing its prices up. Prices have soared across the cycling industry, with inflation, Covid-19 and, in the UK, Brexit all contributing factors. Strava's increase also follows rises from other subscription services, such as Netflix and Amazon Prime. Streaming giant Netflix cited inflation as the reason behind its recent increase, while Amazon's subscription rose from PS7.99 to PS8.99 a month in September. Some Strava users have reacted negatively on Twitter (including a number who appear to have been paying PS5.99 a month previously), threatening to cancel subscriptions.

Received an email today saying it's going up by 50% (yes, 50%!!) to 8.99 a month. Not sure it's worth it to be honest, that's a fair chunk of money and a steep increase in one go! @UKRunChat what are others doing, paying or going to free? -- Coxy (@coxy1976) January 4, 2023 * Share on Facebook * Share on Twitter * Share on Pinterest * Share on Whatsapp * Share on Reddit * Email to a friend Authors Nick Clark, BikeRadar digital writer, headshot Nick Clark Social networks * * Digital Writer Nick Clark is a digital writer for BikeRadar, focusing on all things mountain bikes.
