Strava charges $79.99/year for its advanced analytics. ActivityStat gives you heatmaps, PRs, year-over-year trends, power and cadence analysis and AI descriptions from $2.99/month — on your existing free Strava account.
That’s under $36 a year — keep more than $44 and still get premium-grade stats.

A lot of what people upgrade to the Strava subscription for is the analytics: deeper performance metrics, personal heatmaps, best efforts and personal records, training trends, and power and cadence breakdowns. If that’s the reason you renew every year, you’re paying $79.99 mostly for the numbers.
ActivityStat delivers those numbers — and writes them straight into each activity description automatically, which Strava doesn’t do at any tier — starting at $2.99/month. You connect once with Strava’s official OAuth and keep using the free Strava app exactly as you do now.
We’re upfront about this: ActivityStat is an alternative to paying for the Strava subscription’s analytics, not a replacement for Strava itself. Keep your free Strava account for:
The ideal setup for most athletes: a free Strava account for recording and segments, plus ActivityStat for the deep analytics you’d otherwise pay the subscription for.
No. ActivityStat works with a free Strava account. It connects through Strava's official, secure OAuth — we never see your password — and adds the advanced analytics on top, so you don't need to pay for the Strava subscription to get them.
No — and it isn't meant to be. You keep using Strava for recording activities, the social feed, segments and routes. ActivityStat is an alternative to paying $79.99/year for the Strava subscription's advanced stats: it layers heatmaps, PRs, year-over-year trends, power and cadence analysis, and AI descriptions onto your existing free account.
The Strava subscription is $79.99 per year. ActivityStat starts at $2.99/month — under $36 a year — so you keep more than $44 a year while still getting premium-grade analytics. There's also a free tier to try it first.
No. Your activities, segments and history stay exactly where they are in Strava. ActivityStat only reads your activities to calculate stats and (optionally) writes them into your descriptions. You can disconnect at any time from your settings.
The Strava subscription includes things tied to Strava's own platform — segment leaderboards and live segments, the route builder, and group/club features. ActivityStat doesn't replace those, so the best setup is a free Strava account for recording and segments, plus ActivityStat for the deep analytics.
Keep your free Strava account. Add ActivityStat for heatmaps, PRs, trends and AI descriptions — from $2.99/month. Free to start.
