Zwift & TrainerRoad Just Dropped a Bombshell—But Where’s the Discount?!

In a move that no one saw coming (okay that might be overly dramatic), Zwift and TrainerRoad have finally joined forces—but there’s a catch. Instead of rewarding loyal cyclists with a much-needed price break, both companies have decided to charge full price for each service. Yes, you read that right.

A Game-Changing Partnership… With a Huge Letdown

For years, cyclists have been begging for an integration between Zwift’s immersive virtual riding and TrainerRoad’s structured, data-driven workouts. Finally, that dream is here! According to DC Rainmaker, this partnership allows seamless synchronization between the two platforms. Sounds amazing, right?

Well, hold your excitement.

Despite this groundbreaking integration, there’s no bundled discount. If you want to use both, you’ll need to pay for two separate subscriptions—$20 per month for Zwift and around $20 per month for TrainerRoad. That’s a combined $40+ every single month for what many assumed would be a more affordable joint experience.

Where’s the Love for Loyal Users?

Typically, when two major fitness platforms team up, they offer some kind of introductory promotion, bundle deal, or loyalty discount. But Zwift and TrainerRoad seem to think their users will happily cough up full price—despite both services already being among the most expensive in the indoor cycling world.

This pricing decision is especially frustrating given that many cyclists already juggle multiple training subscriptions—Zwift, TrainerRoad, Strava, TrainingPeaks, Whoop, and more. At a time when subscription fatigue is real, wouldn’t a discounted bundle have made way more sense?

Cyclists React: “What Were They Thinking?”

Cyclists across social media are confused, frustrated, and disappointed by the lack of a pricing deal. The overwhelming response? This feels like a massive missed opportunity.

“Why would I pay full price for both when they should be working together to give us a deal?” – One angry X user

“This is great news… except for my wallet.” – A disappointed Reddit comment

“Would love to use both, but at $40 a month, I think I’ll pass.” – Another frustrated cyclist

If Zwift and TrainerRoad were hoping for a celebration, they might have miscalculated. Cyclists aren’t just looking for features—they want value for money. And right now, this integration feels more like a cash grab than a user-friendly upgrade.

The Verdict: Great Tech, Terrible Pricing Strategy

Don’t get us wrong—the Zwift x TrainerRoad partnership is a game-changer in terms of training flexibility. But the complete lack of any discount, bundle, or promotional offer is a serious disappointment. It leaves many wondering: Was this really about improving the user experience, or just another way to maximize profits?

Would YOU pay full price for both, or do you think Zwift and TrainerRoad need to rethink their pricing model? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
