Ride with GPS is the drafting table of cycling apps. It has been going since 2007 out of Portland, Oregon, and the route planner is why people pay: surface type data, a global heatmap built from millions of logged rides, custom cues, splitting long routes into daily chunks, points of interest that pop up on a Garmin. Plans run free Starter, a cheaper Basic and Premium at $9.99 a month or about $6.67 a month billed yearly. Club accounts are popular with shops and tour operators.
For big backcountry days, bikepacking and gravel to singletrack mixes it is excellent. For pure trail hunting it is not: no mountain bike difficulty grades, no condition reports, no closure feed. Most riders pair it with Trailforks, planning here and checking the dirt there. Turn by turn voice navigation and offline maps need a paid plan.
