Pick Zwift if you want the busiest group-ride and race scene and a single membership for everything: $19.99 a month or $199.99 a year, with a 14-day free trial on the monthly plan (Zwift, article dated 15 Dec 2025). Pick something else if you want structured plans that adapt to your training (TrainerRoad), real video routes (Rouvy) or a free app (MyWhoosh).
What the membership covers
Zwift lists virtual worlds and hundreds of kilometres of routes, thousands of structured workouts and personalised training plans, group rides and racing events, unlockable bikes and gear, and a Companion app. Hardware is not included: you supply the smart trainer, bike and screen. One membership unlocks all features, with no tiers.
Trial and refund rules
The 14-day trial applies to the monthly plan. The annual plan has no trial, but a first-time subscriber can cancel within 30 days for a refund. The annual plan is 12 months for the price of 10: $199.99 against $239.88 for twelve monthly payments, a saving of $39.89 (our arithmetic).
What this page could not verify
We did not confirm supported platforms from Zwift’s own pages, event counts, rider numbers (Zwift claims more than a million cyclists) or trainer compatibility lists. If the fit of a specific trainer matters, check the database and Zwift’s own compatibility page. Zwift Cog and Click hardware, and the bundled Zwift Ride, are covered on their own pages.
The free-versus-paid detail is in Zwift vs MyWhoosh, and a per-month cost tool is the app cost calculator.
Who should skip it
Riders who want the lowest cost (MyWhoosh is free to play), riders who mostly follow a coach’s plan in another app, and riders who dislike game-style worlds.
