ActivityStat vs VeloViewer

VeloViewer is the reference tool for riders who care about territory — Explorer tiles, segment deep-dives and detailed ride breakdowns, with a following that is devoted for good reason. It is about exploring where you have been. ActivityStat is about what each activity says, written onto the activity itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ActivityStat do Explorer tiles?

No. Explorer tiles are VeloViewer's signature feature and ActivityStat has no equivalent. If tile-hunting is why you ride, VeloViewer is the tool for it — the two solve different problems and pair together fine.

Which is better for running?

VeloViewer is cycling-led. If most of your activities are runs, ActivityStat covers running directly, including pace, cadence and personal records written into each activity.
