Trailforks plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trailforks Free | Free | 3 | Entry tier |
| Trailforks Pro | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.
Trailforks Free
FreeThe entry tier. It covers trail database access, basic basemaps, one offline region at a time.
Trailforks Pro
On requestOver Trailforks Free, this tier adds:
- Unlimited offline regions
- Premium basemaps including Gaia and ArcGIS satellite
- Heatmap, weather and fire overlays

What the product covers
The full Trailforks feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Mountain bike trail database
- Community trail reports
- Offline maps
- Premium basemaps
- Heatmap overlay
- Weather and fire overlays
People bring Trailforks in for a mountain biker planning a ride on unfamiliar singletrack who needs direction-of-travel and difficulty data, someone riding in an area with no signal who needs an offline downloaded trail map, a rider checking recent community trail condition reports before heading out, someone comparing several mountain bike regions using the usage heatmap before choosing where to ride. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Trailforks are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Maps
Too few maps tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Trailforks badges page.
Before you pay for Trailforks
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between Free and On request, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Trailforks runs on ios, android, web, and is published by Outside Inc. of Boulder, Colorado, United States. The full record is on the Trailforks review, and the rest of the category is under best maps tools.
