Komoot alternative: free, open, no paywall
Velosummit is an independent hobby project – a cycling route planner for everyone who wants to plan, navigate and share tours without paying for the essentials.
What Velosummit does differently
- Free for the essentials: planning routes, elevation profile & GPX export work without a subscription and without an account – no region packs, no hidden paywall.
- Open routing: road-accurate BRouter routing on OpenStreetMap data – for touring, road, gravel, MTB and hiking.
- Resupply along the route: supermarkets, cafés, pharmacies & hotels with opening hours – ideal for self-supported trips.
- Your data is yours: GPX export anytime; share trips & tours by link with family, friends and fans (read-only).
- Cookie- & tracking-free: no ad tracking, no cookie-banner clutter.
Honestly: what we're still working on
Velosummit is built in spare time and is a work in progress. A large discover/community feature doesn't exist (yet); GPX import and a round-trip generator are in progress. A full mobile app most likely won't happen – it's not feasible to maintain alone in spare time. There are ideas to fund mobile apps via optional paid features one day, but that's still far off. On the web, in return, you get a lean, fast tool without a paywall.
Who is it for?
- Self-supported riders & bikepackers who want resupply along the route
- Gravel, MTB and road cyclists who need road-accurate GPX
- Anyone who wants to export GPX without a subscription and share tours
- Privacy-conscious people who don't want tracking
Frequently asked
Is Velosummit really free?
Yes. Planning routes, the elevation/surface analysis and GPX export are free and need no account. A free account is only required to save, edit and share tours.
Can I import my Komoot tours?
GPX import is in progress. For now, export your tour from Komoot as GPX and use it on your device; re-planning it in Velosummit takes a few clicks.
Is it a full Komoot replacement?
Honestly: not for everything. A large tour community/discover feature is missing, and a native mobile app most likely won't happen. But for self-directed planning, GPX and self-supported tours it's already strong.
