- Alltrails has presented a new premium subscription level, Peak
- Peak comes with a series of AI tools that include community heat maps, trail conditions and outdoor lenses
- It costs $ 79.99 / £ 79.99 (around Au $ 125) per year
Another day, another premium subscription level with AI was added to one of the best physical conditioning applications. After hot after Garmin, Strava, Polar and Whoop, Alltrails has announced its last level of subscription, Peak, which comes with a lot of great -looking icing tools.
Alltrails Peak, the new most expensive membership level at $ 79.99 / £ 79.99 (around AU $ 125 for Australian readers), includes everything, from Alltrails Plus and the free level of application, and add a series of AI tools:
- Community heat map It offers information on the activity of Alltrails users, which allows you to filter routes for recent popularity. Share some similarities with the recent night heat map function of Strava, but it is for hiking routes to identify which routes are using other hikers.
- SENDERO CONDITIONS It is compared to “its own application” by the product director Ivan Selin, who added 15 different climatic factors every hour in all of the path. Selin says that the characteristic will say “not only to wait for snow, but how deep and where the snow layer”, as well as other factors, such as soil conditions and even mosquito activity.
- Personalized routes It is a program assisted by automatic learning designed to allow Alltrails users to create their own paths from scratch.
- Outdoor lens He uses the camera’s camera, the Alltrails and AI photograph bank to identify reference points, plants, fungi and even insects. Outdoor Lens is not available at Peak’s launch, and “a little at the end of this summer” will come.
The characteristics of Alltrails Peak a i ai seem very complete. However, the price increase (without word game) is significant, since there is more costs only $ 35.99 / £ 35.99 per year (around Au $ 56). In our Review of Alltrails, we said that the premium level was worth only for regular hikers, so it is likely that the increase is only worth it for advanced users.
Base subscribers get access to a new points of interest to help users to explore along the path, and also subscribers also obtain offline areas, a feature that allows users to download a map of a large area and access all paths within that map.
Once announced as the Apple’s iPhone application, the most premium level of Alltrails is expensive enough for only very frequent recreational hikers and those who spend a lot of time outdoors are tempted. An increase in prices of $ 45 / £ 45 is not a small increase, especially when paying annually in a single global sum.
However, dividing that price for 12 months leaves it with $ 6.66 / £ 6.66 per month, which is not a different price to Garmin Connect+ ($ 6.99 / £ 6.99) or Strava Premium ($ 11.99 / £ 8.99). For that price, it is obtaining (which seems to be) a very complete set of tools with AI, which go far beyond the paragraphs of tips created by generative. Garmin, in particular, has been criticized by the apparent laziness of design in the characteristics of AI at his level paid.
As a user of Alltrails, I am particularly excited to test the conditions of the path and the characteristics of the outdoor lens, although it is unlikely to come out by the complete subscription. As someone who is excited (and in large part they have no idea of) different plants and trees, it would be good to have a tool that I can use on the path that helps me identify certain species.
In addition, as someone who lives in the United Kingdom, where the threat of rain is never far, the conditions of the path would allow me to get my walks to guarantee a minimal possibility of downpours. In addition, I would improve my chances of packing the right shoes!
