The Kingdom of Praise and Number Two in strava, our guide for the best running apps, it will roll out a family subscription option later this year

If you are a regular user of the app to track activities and connect with fellow players in the free version, you can see it updated to the premium version.

Now you have the option to upgrade to the paid version of Strava for Str79.99 years or per11.99 per month. Soon this year, all Strava members, whether free users or existing Strava subscription members, will get the option to share the cost of a premium subscription.

However, there is a premium subscription before you round up your Rank Club mates and family to upgrade with you.

Strava does not disclose exactly how much it costs to subscribe to a Family Plan. However, the new annual subscription option provides optimal value for groups of up to 4 people, and each member can get a discount from the regular subscription cost.

In terms of when this new feature will be rolled out, Family subscriptions will start in Australia and Canada this summer and will gradually roll out globally by the end of 2024. If you don't fancy waiting, you can take advantage of a 30-day free trial in the meantime.

As a free user of Strava, you can still feel away from both activity tracking and social aspects to strava with the ability to give and receive so many compliments, comment on your friends or perform Nemesis activities, participate in challenges and view useful statistics on your training. 

However, if you're trying to streamline exercise tracking into 1 app, it's worth checking out what's included in the paid version of strava. 

Advanced metrics for Summit subscriptions are all features, including route planning, additional safety features, training planning, goal setting, and segment leaderboards, which can benefit a variety of Strava users.

There's something for everyone, from competitive athletes to novice runners, to those looking to improve safety while exercising outdoors. In addition, if you and your friends and family are already Summit subscribers, this should lower the cost for all of you. 

But if you already own one of the best running watches, you might find you have just doubled in data. And if you're on a budget, the free version has a lot to keep you entertained. And if you're a casual runner, you'll find that you don't need all of the various premium subscription features.

The good thing is, before committing to a regular membership, you can use strava's 30-day Summit free trial to see if the extra is useful or if not, you can cancel and save money or put it in a new set of running shoes instead.
