Alternatives to Strava
The social network for endurance sport
Strava ranks #2 of 10 in Workout trackers, with an Alt Score of 82. It is proprietary, freemium from $11.99/month and available on iOS, Android and Web. 9 of 10 checklist rows are verified against a public source.
Runners, cyclists, and other endurance/fitness athletes (from casual walkers to competitive racers) who want to track workouts and connect with a community of active people.
GPS-based tracking of runs, rides, and other activities with maps, pace, distance, and effort metrics. Segments let you compare your performance on specific routes against your own history and other athletes. Social features include a feed, following, clubs, and challenges. A paid subscription adds extras like live location sharing (Beacon) and deeper performance analytics.
Record an activity via the mobile app or a connected GPS device/wearable, then it uploads and generates a detailed summary with maps and stats. You can share it to your feed, compare it against past efforts or named segments, and follow other athletes or clubs to see their activity.
