Strava is where you record a run or a ride and see how fast it was. Tri-Ventures is where you get told what to go do today — a move, a play, and a venture at real places near your ZIP code — and check them off. If you want pace, splits and segments, Strava wins. If you have a desk job and mostly need a reason to leave the house, that's this.
| Tri-Ventures | Strava | |
|---|---|---|
| What it's for | Three everyday events a day: move, play, venture. A habit, not a workout log. | Recording and analyzing workouts: distance, pace, elevation, segments. |
| Who it's built for | Sedentary desk workers, suburban parents, couples. Any age, size, fitness level and speed. | Runners and cyclists who already train and want to measure it. |
| Local discovery | Real trails, parks, courses, diners, cafes and breweries near your ZIP code, inside a radius you set. | Segments and heatmaps of routes other athletes have logged. |
| Non-exercise activities | Card games, gardening, a museum day, a phones-down dinner all count. | Activity types are workouts; a card game isn't one. |
| Social | Bring your partner, kids, dog or neighbors. Daily conversation prompts. Regional leaderboard by state. | Follow athletes, kudos, clubs, and segment leaderboards. |
| Gamification | Points, a daily streak, and accountability against yesterday's you — not against strangers' race times. | Challenges, trophies and segment rankings tied to speed. |
| Free path | 7-day free trial, card required, cancel before day 7. | Free tier available; subscription unlocks the analysis features. |
| Price | $9/month or $39/year (over 60% off annually). | Free tier, with a paid subscription around $12/month at the time of writing. |
