Today Zwift added a much-requested option: annual membership! That’s right: you can now change your monthly membership into an annual one and receive a solid discount for doing so. Read all the details below…
Annual Pricing
Zwift’s new annual membership pricing gives you 12 months for the price of 10, which works out to a 17% discount. Annual pricing in popular currencies:
- UK – 129.99
- EUR – 149.99
- CAD – 189.99 per year plus tax
- US – 149.99 per year plus tax
- JPY – 15,000.00 per year plus tax
- AUS – 199.99 per year plus tax
Switching from Monthly to Annual Membership
To switch your monthly membership to annual, sign into your account zwift.com/sign-in and visit Account>Membership. Click “Switch Membership” beneath your Monthly Membership badge:
Confirm your choice on the next few screens, and you’re all done:
Your annual membership will begin at the end of your current billing cycle. Example: if your monthly membership is paid through November 23rd, 2023 like mine and you switch to annual membership today, your annual membership payment will begin on November 24th, 2023 and be billed that same day.
iOS Subscribers: How to Switch
You cannot change to annual billing via your Apple subscription, so if you are currently subscribed through your iOS device and want to move from monthly to annual membership, you’ll need to cancel your Apple subscription and sign up for your annual membership via Zwift.com (see instructions above).
Canceling your Apple subscription will keep your membership alive through the end of your current billing cycle. It’s unclear whether Zwift’s system will let you subscribe today for an annual membership that should only kick in once your Apple subscription ends, so we recommend waiting to set up your annual membership on Zwift.com until your Apple subscription expires.
$99 Annual Memberships from Wahoo Trainer Purchases
Want an even better discount on one year of Zwift? If you purchased an eligible Wahoo KICKR smart trainer or smart bike from an authorized Wahoo retailer on or after September 13, 2023, you can contact Wahoo support to purchase an annual Zwift membership for just $99. That’s a big discount on Zwift’s new annual membership pricing!
Learn how it works on this support page from Wahoo >
While all trainers sold through Zwift.com and some trainers sold via Wahoo.com now include a bundled annual Zwift membership, most Wahoo trainers are sold through retailers. So Wahoo and Zwift have worked out a deal to get those dealer customers the same $99 deal.
New Subscribers, Cancellations, and Refunds
First-time subscribers who join using the annual membership option will receive a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you cancel before the end of 30 days you will receive a full refund.
Existing subscribers who pay for an annual membership are not eligible for a refund. Whether you are a monthly or annual member, when you cancel your Zwift account it will stay active until the end of your billing cycle.

I spose that works if your a constant rider but not so if you take summer off.
Isn’t that the point?
Summer is when I’m riding the most!
About bloody time… this was low hanging fruit for years.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad to see it happen, but it should have happened eons ago!
Great, now I can justify keeping it active during the summer months.
Now if they’d just add family membership too…
i like the option of cancelling the subscription during the summer months or in case of illness/injury.
And you still have that option!
You can pause a monthly membership, but not an annual membership.
This point is not fully clear. Is it possible to pause the annual membership at least for 4 weeks summer breack or no?
No: it is not possible to pause an annual membership. 😞
when you go to marketing school. you’ll understand why there is such a thing as annual memberships and monthly memberships.
pick the one you want.
you are not writing the rules here, and no one is forcing you to do otherwise.
Not sure how to respond to that Dan. But thanks for your thoughtful contribution.
Well, technically you can do the same in relation to both types. “Pausing” a monthly membership merely means that when the month that you have paid for has expired, you do not renew again until you choose to do so (and Zwift will keep your profile alive in the meantime). It does not mean that you can stop the clock for one week in the middle of the month and then have the month expire 37 days after it started. Annual membership will work the same way, You cannot choose to stop the clock during the year, but you could… Read more »
Smart business move. I guess if you lock subscribers in for a year at a time with no cancellation refund they’er less likely to move to another platform – even a rapidly improving free one with better graphics 😉
The “free” one you pay with your soul as it supports the UAE.
Now tell me you never buy anything made in China where cultural genocide is practiced. We all hold our nose or look away when it suits.
Do you really find the indievelo grafix better? 🙃
If the price were 100€/$ Approx. The proposal makes no sense.
Rouvy has a Black Friday deal for annual plan for 112 EUR. a bit better offer but still, an annual subscription is suitable for only a limited group of people and many prefer to skip the summer indoors.
WooHoo! Still waiting on Family plans
Smart on their part for those who ride all year inside.. for those of us locked down for half the year because of winter weather, we bite at the first signs of anything above zero and melting snow and don’t look back til October LOL
I use it all year round. Where I am, sometimes it rains, sometimes it’s windy, and sometimes I have to work all day.
does anyone know how switching to annual work if you got the “road rgt cancelation” credit? I’m being billed 0/month until my year runs out, right now. if I switch to annual, does that confuse things? or just me?
Would maybe have stayed with them if they had offered this sooner (oh and family membership) but when I can do it all now for free, why waste money?
Better would be to offer a six month subscription. Let’s face it we ride inside in the winter and ride outside in the summer and fall. The bad part is when we forgot to cancel our membership and end up paying for it for another month or two while we are not using it. We are riding outside.
How does this work with referrals where each person gets 1 month free? Zwift also uses the words 30 days interchangeably, which isn’t exactly equal to 1 month.
they had annual subs before. that’s how i joined zwift in the first place. once they got rid of them (end of 2021 maybe?) that’s when i cancelled. i refuse to add another monthly charge to my lineup
Yes, there was. But without discount as far as i remember.
Excellent, this was an easy win to keep people around. They must have thought they made more per year before without this, though, as I don’t think they’re that incompetent. Mrs and I were running an account each since beta, on and off over the years, but this year it just seemed to lose its appeal fast, so she stopped her sub, and jumped on my account once in a while. We both find we don’t bother even looking at the screen anymore during workouts. Doesn’t matter if it’s on the 65inch TV or an iPad, it’s just no longer… Read more »
Problem polega na tym, że myWhoosh potrzebuje potężnego komputera. Mój I5 i dodatkowa karta graficzna nie mogą sobie z tym poradzić. Mam awarię 10k/s. Gdzie uzyskać płynną grafikę na Zwift? Używam też Apple TV i myWhoosh nie jest dostępny.
Two months for free hahaha. too little. The annual subscription is for those who never leave home. Only 6 months is approx. It’s like an ice cream subscription in winter 😆.
Wait… you don’t eat ice cream in the winter?
I eat ice cream in the winter 😄
Finally. As I ride all year round, this saves credit card expiry issues. Do we know if the annual renewal will auto renew at end of sub period or will you have to remember to renew it again ??
I’m sure it auto renews.
After completing a year subscription can you switch back to a monthly one?
A dlaczego nie? Anulujesz roczną subskrypcję i wybierasz miesięczną.
Much requested? I cancel it for 7-8 months of the year and everyone I know does the same.
you and those 5 people must be hurting zwift… you show em!
The OP didn’t say they were trying to give it to zwift, why the sarcastic reply?
Agree. Bizarre.
Good feature, not enough for me though.. I am using 6 months and for time to time the 25 “testing kms” for rainy summer days. I love the competition between the cycling softwares such that i am using several voucher codes for Rouvy, Fulgaz etc. That lowers my annual costs, too. 120-130 EUR would be price to consider, 150 EUR is a little to high for me.
Can I pause and extend the time?
Why would they offer that option? No one would ever sign up for month-to-month if you could get a big discount on an annual subscription and just pause whenever you want to.
I am sure you can pause between subscription periods, just as you can pause between monthly subscription periods. You cannot extend the month by stopping the clock mid-month and so I am sure that they would not offer that new feature for an annual subscription period (and it would defeat the purpose of offering a discount for those who commit to a whole year).
Done!! And thanks for the info as always Eric! 👌
Only “Annual Membership Now Available” , because the monthly plan site is empty….So you can’t start a mothly plan.THX Zwift….😡Membership Now Available”
It seems dumb to offer an annual membership without the ability to pause for a couple of weeks if you go on vacation, etc. Most newspapers (WSJ, NYT, etc) offer that, even for digital only subscriptions.
while I understand why they did this, but I do wish I had a 6-month option. I don’t ride indoors in the summer months, so it’s still not value enough to purchase for a year for me anyways. I get the attraction but it’s not enough to make me have the switch. I REALLY wish there was a family option. Why hasn’t this happened. Although I suppose it helps me in the long run cuz they use my profile to ride now. I get the bonus points and they get my physics.
This promotion has no yet reached Latin America? Will it do so at some pint?
It’s €187,49 annually.
