What is Strava?

Strava is a fitness, wellness or meditation subscription that combines structured programmes with progress tracking in a single app surface. Its product surface covers programmes, classes or routines inside the app alongside progress tracking and reminders, with the recurring subscription paid through direct billing on the operator's site or App Store / Google Play / partner-billing surfaces. Customers buy a tier matching their usage profile; the entry tier suits testing the product and higher tiers add features such as mobile, web and wearable companion apps.

Anchor pricing for 2026: Strava Premium USD 11.99/month or USD 79.99/year (US 2025 pricing). Consult Subger's true-price tracker for Strava for all-in renewal costs after taxes and FX conversion.
