ActivityStat vs Smashrun

Smashrun is a running-focused analytics site with a well-liked badge and milestone system that makes consistency genuinely fun. It is running-only by design. ActivityStat covers running and cycling, and puts the numbers on the activity rather than on a separate dashboard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Smashrun support cycling?

Smashrun is built specifically for running. If you also ride, ActivityStat covers both — including cycling power and cadence on the Athlete Pro plan.

Can I use Smashrun and ActivityStat together?

Yes. Both read from Strava and neither interferes with the other, so you can keep Smashrun's badges and still have ActivityStat write your stats onto each activity.
