komoot is the friendliest route planner here, with a lean toward scenic and mixed-surface riding. You choose a sport, such as road cycling, gravel or mountain biking, and the planner picks roads or trails to suit, showing surface type, difficulty, distance and elevation before you leave. Community Highlights mark viewpoints, climbs and cafes other riders recommend. Turn-by-turn voice navigation and offline topographic maps come with map purchases: your first region is free forever, and the World Pack costs $29.99 once on the US App Store, which makes komoot the cheapest paid option on our list. komoot Premium, $59.99 a year, adds more planning and safety features on top. Routes sync to Garmin through the komoot Connect IQ app and to Wahoo ELEMNT units. komoot is less suited to performance riders: there are no segments, training load or indoor workouts.
