The short version

  • Only Komoot has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Apple Fitness+ restricted to Apple ecosystem, not compatible with Android devices or non-Apple platforms; Komoot offline maps are sold per geographic region rather than per user, so coverage is bought as a Single Region, a Region Bundle or the World Pack
  • They diverge on capability: Apple Fitness+ covers Studio-style workouts, Komoot covers Route planning.
