Free and Pro
Bike IQ is free to download and ride, with no ads and no account. Recording, the live ride screen, sensors, radar and your ride report are all free, with no limit on how far or how long you ride. Bike IQ Pro is an optional subscription for riders who want routes and navigation, plus a few extras.

Getting Pro
Open your profile in Bike IQ, or tap any Pro feature such as Routes, and the Bike IQ Pro screen shows both plans. Pro is a monthly or annual subscription through the App Store, and the price appears in your local currency before you subscribe.
Your subscription is managed by Apple. To change or cancel it, open the Settings app on your iPhone, tap your name, then tap Subscriptions. If you already subscribed with the same Apple Account on another iPhone, restore your purchase from the Bike IQ Pro screen.
Pro features are marked with this badge throughout the docs, so you can tell at a glance which guides need Bike IQ Pro.
