Subscribe to ROUVY if you want to ride filmed real-world roads, with other riders shown as avatars on the video: $19.99 a month or $179.99 a year for one rider (the same numbers in euros), a 7-day free trial, and 20 km a month free after that. For a household it gets cheaper per rider: the Group plan covers up to five riders for $499.99 a year, $100 each. Choose another app if you want a game world with big race fields (Zwift), a free unlimited one (MyWhoosh) or a plan engine first and scenery second (TrainerRoad). Prices checked 2 Nov 2026.
Plans and what each rider pays
| Plan | Riders | Monthly | Annual | Annual per rider |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 1 | $19.99 / EUR 19.99 | $179.99 / EUR 179.99 | $179.99 |
| Duo | 2 | $29.99 / EUR 29.99 | $249.99 / EUR 249.99 | $125.00 |
| Group | up to 5 | $59.99 / EUR 59.99 | $499.99 / EUR 499.99 | $100.00 |
Dollar prices are from ROUVY’s support page (plus tax, effective 15 July 2025); euro prices from rouvy.com/pricing. Per-rider figures and savings are our arithmetic. Annual Single saves $59.89 against twelve monthly payments, about $15.00 a month. The July 2025 increase took Single monthly from $14.99 to $19.99; riders with a Lifetime Price Guarantee kept their old rate (price increase FAQ). Plans are sold only on rouvy.com and renew until cancelled.
Free riding, pauses and the Daily Pass
- Free account: any registered rider gets 20 km a month, including after cancelling (Subscription FAQ). Unused kilometres expire at month end, and races and group rides need a subscription. An older ROUVY help article says 25 km; the pricing page and FAQ say 20.
- Trial: 7 days on first registration, billed at full price afterwards. Cancelling during the trial still gives you the full 7 days.
- Pause: up to 180 days once per calendar year, useful if you ride outdoors all summer.
- Daily Pass: $3.99 for 24 hours of full access, for riders whose subscription is paused; on Duo and Group only the plan owner can buy one (Daily Pass).
The route library
ROUVY’s routes are video filmed on real roads, with augmented reality (AR) placing rider avatars and bots into the footage. BikeRadar’s guide counts more than 1,300 AR routes covering over 240,000 km, plus a separate library of plain video that ROUVY puts at almost 250,000 km. ROUVY’s own figures are higher and change often, so treat any count as approximate. BikeRadar also reports that ROUVY has closed the option for riders to upload their own videos.
The library grew by acquisition. ROUVY bought FulGaz from the IRONMAN Group in early 2025, became IRONMAN’s digital platform and began rebuilding FulGaz’s most popular routes and IRONMAN courses inside ROUVY (Cyclingnews). Later in 2025 it bought Bkool (BikeRadar). We could not confirm how much of the FulGaz library has moved across.
Zwift owns ROUVY now
Zwift’s purchase of ROUVY was announced on 29 April 2026. Both apps keep separate subscriptions and roadmaps (ROUVY Support). The practical change is hardware: from ROUVY version 4.5.5, Zwift Ready trainers, the Zwift Ride and Zwift Cog and Click work in ROUVY with virtual shifting, while the Zwift Play controllers do not (Zwift’s ROUVY FAQ). ROUVY’s own help page says virtual shifting needs a Bluetooth connection, not ANT+ (setup guide); the Bluetooth, ANT+ and Wi-Fi guide explains why that matters, and the Cog compatibility list shows which trainers qualify. The risk is the one Zwift Insider raised: the owner of the market leader could close or fold its rival later. Paying monthly rather than annually limits your exposure.
ROUVY or Zwift Video?
Zwift’s new Plus tier ($29.99 a month, $299.99 a year) adds its own filmed routes. DC Rainmaker found Zwift’s video sharper but ROUVY’s library much larger; Zwift launched with 21 routes, mostly under an hour. For video alone, ROUVY Single costs $120 a year less than Zwift Plus. For both game and video, Zwift Plus at $299.99 is $79.99 a year cheaper than standard Zwift plus ROUVY Single ($379.98). Totals for your own riding months are in the app cost calculator, and the wider match-up is in Zwift vs TrainerRoad vs MyWhoosh.
Who should skip it
Riders who want large race fields and game-style progression, and riders who want a free app: Zwift vs MyWhoosh covers that pair. Riders who train only from structured plans get more from TrainerRoad.
