Strava’s Premium model has been totally overhauled and is being replaced with Strava Summit, which separates its core features into three distinct packages: Training, Safety and Analysis.
There’s a handful of new features, but critically, the new setup allows athletes to pick exactly what packs they want — or subscribe to the whole suite — which could save money in the long run.

Strava Summit Training Pack details
The Strava Summit Training Pack is designed for athletes who are, unsurprisingly, focussed on training.
The pack unlocks real-time GPS tracking, custom goals, race analysis, filtered leaderboards and breakdowns of KOM and PR attempts.
Strava Summit Analysis Pack details
The Strava Summit Analysis Pack allows athletes to access detailed insights into performance, including general workout analysis, fitness and freshness analysis — which assesses the impact of workouts and advises whether it’s time to train or rest — live segments, power analysis and relative effort metrics.
To be clear, you are not required to subscribe to the Summit Analysis Pack to be able to pair your power meter/heart rate monitor to your phone/head unit. Subscribing to the pack just allows you to access those aforementioned insights in Strava.
Strava Summit Safety Pack details
Subscribing to the Strava Summit Safety Pack unlocks Strava’s mapping features.
Tapping into Strava’s immense bank of data, athletes can plan routes using both global and personal heatmaps, showing the most popular routes in their area.
- Strava updates Heatmap with a claimed 200,000 years worth of data
- Strava's Heatmap reveals military bases and more
It also grants users access to Strava’s Beacon feature, which allows chosen contacts to see where they are in real time.
Strava Summit perks
Subscribers — regardless of whether you pay for an individual package or the full suite — will also get priority access to Strava’s support team.
In addition, they’ll have access to exclusive deals from Strava and selected partners.
