Well that’s a pain in the wotsits. I was relying on that free allowance for August and then renewing in September.

Check your Zwift emails, I activated a 60 day free trial code two weeks ago.

Anyone see that Rouvy bought Bkool last week? I don't use either, but I know some here used to or still do.

Yes I heard, the smaller platforms are merging/takeover to survive.

Their pricing is rising to match Zwifts monthly subscription

MyWhoosh is the same price as ever, and the prizes for serious racers as high as ever.

Isn't MyWoosh state funded setup?

Yes - UAE.

I value competition on the market, but not when it's state funded. Especially by states known for dodgy human rights record.

In my experience, whenever that happens, it's designed to take over the market and then hike the cost way above what it was, or obtaining personal data, or both.

If it's free you're not the customer - you're the product.

Can I get an "Amen" ?

I've gone annual with Zwift but my Strava has lapsed and I'm waiting to see if I miss it.

I'd rather help another turbo app developer by buying Watt Games for a one-off fee fractionally more than a monthly Zwift sub, than get a summer month sub on Zwift... It helps I'm only ~14 days into a 60 day free code they sent me, so I'm sorted until mid September and I'm going to be enjoying the hilly lanes around Longleat Center Parcs again not long after that!

I did the same with Strava I let it lapse and thought I would just use the free version until they sent me a reduced offer like last time I let it lapse, but no offer was forthcoming, and I cracked and rejoined at full price.

Im using Garmin connect, although my rides are parallel uploads with Strava still

I have the offer of a 60-day Strava premium trial at VeloViewer, but I don't feel the need yet. It's only been about 4 days though so the DTs haven't started yet

Yeah I always have used Connect as well. Segments and bragging rights (and sharing group rides with friends) is what I had Strava for.
The most useful part is Live Segments, which I find particularly good when doing one of the 100 Climbs because it helps you to be sure you actually did the right segment But as I've said - if I go on a trip, I can always subscribe for a month at a time. Most of the year I don't really use it.
