Yorkshire Pie May 2024 11:12am, 8 May 2024 15,645 posts	0 Yorkshire Pie My issue is that it isn't the only app I use - I use Join and Training Peaks too so it could start to add up. It all syncs through smoothly and I like the setup, but I could just run a workout from Join or my garmin and watch something else. Usually I just let my membership run 12 months a year, but usually there are a few months over summer where I barely use it and might now be more inclined to pause it (e.g. there's a month where I could easily pause it to cover a 2 week holiday and a week either side without any real detriment).

My wife's is only used once or twice a week but it is worth keeping for the motivation factor. As others have said if they had raised prices a pound year nobody would have flinched. I'm more likely to end my training peaks subscription really as I have a copy of WKO locally which is pretty good for me.
Foppotee May 2024 11:32am, 8 May 2024 52 posts	0 Foppotee I don't use it that much and I always stop it during summer. I joined in 2017 and I have only got to level 47. I was going to keep it running through summer this year but I won't now. I will probably try something else next autumn. They hiked it £5 last time too. I don't think it's worth £18 to me. I may use it for a condensed period in the depths of winter if I am riding a lot.
Gobi May 2024 11:38am, 8 May 2024 81,248 posts	0 Gobi Whereas I joined in lockdown April 2020 and I'm level 89 and will be 90 before the week is out
Velo_Dirtbag May 2024 11:51am, 8 May 2024 204 posts	0 Velo_Dirtbag I use BKOOL, it doesn't really have the gamification of Zwift which, truth be told, is why I use it. My last subscription for a year, in October, was £90 but I think it may have gone up a little since then.
sparklecloud May 2024 11:56am, 8 May 2024 1,044 posts	0 sparklecloud Price hike is a bit steep for me (as I only use it once a week for a workout, not bothered about the racing or anything like that) so am going to explore other options.

Gymfreak May 2024 12:11pm, 8 May 2024 9,753 posts	0 Gymfreak It's still cheap if you use it I don't think it's worth it for me now in summer- I'll cancel mine. I have too many fitness subscriptions- I pay monthly for a 3x week bootcamp which isn't cheap but worth it as I love it, then a nominal £15 month pilates subscription and £5 Les Mills online. I also really only have my apple music subscription for running, not even sure what that costs- £10 month maybe? This is probably one I just don't need in summer, I only ride usually 3x week anyway, and in the summer these are almost all outside as it's unlikely to p*ss it down all day and there's usually a dry window. So it's pushed me to cancel. Agree a smaller increase and nobody would have noticed. I'll resubscribe when it gets dark and horrible unless there are other similar things out there, I don't have a clue. I definitely don't use it to it's full capacity, I don't race or anything so something more 'simple' would also work
