Is Strava worth upgrading to 'Premium' or should I just stay on the freebie?

What do you get for your 'Premium' membership?

Thanks in advance fellow Strava's :wink:

    Hi Cloggsy,

    Been wondering the same thing myself... I think TheBigYin has gone premium, maybe he'll post and enlighten us...

    I went for it on the "month by month" basis, with a credit card that expires in 2 months time, so I didn't have to remember to cancel if it was pants.

    Frankly, it's not what I was hoping for, as in it STILL estimated your power and calories using it's own algorithms - even if you're feeding it a Garmin file with REAL power details (from a borrowed Cycleops rear wheel in my case).

    I doubt I'll be giving them my new card, that's probably the quickest way to sum up!

    They sometimes have free month codes floating around the internet. Just google Strava free codes.

    Luckily, last year they had numerous codes out and you could stack them. So I got about a year free.

    It's good if you like to know how close you've come to killing yourself lol. I've got an "Epic Suffer score" for Sunday's ride. It's also ok if you like to compare yourself against others in weight / age. Other than that, it's probably not worth the extra money if you're not into comparisons :wink:
