Search for the calimoto price and you get five different answers, all confident, none of them agreeing. One page says £39.99 a year. Another says £42.99. A third says €59.99. One says you can skip the subscription entirely and buy the maps once for £59.99, and Google’s summary at the top of the page repeats that. Calimoto’s own FAQ says that option does not exist.
I build a motorcycle app, so I read other people’s pricing pages more carefully than is good for me. I opened calimoto’s on 11 September 2026 and wrote down what was actually on it. There are three plans, not two, and the free tier is not the one the reviews describe — it has been quietly turned inside out.
What calimoto costs today
Three options, as printed on the pricing page:
| Plan | Price | How it is billed |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly subscription | €9.99 | Every 7 days. Only available in the app — the website does not sell it |
| Yearly subscription | €59.99 | Every 365 days, with a 14-day free trial |
| Season Pass | €39.99 | One-time payment, 3 months, no renewal |
Two things about those figures. They are in euros because calimoto renders the page in the currency of wherever you are browsing from, and mine says Italy; the App Store and Play Store set their own price per country on top of that. Google’s summary of the same page quotes it in dollars at $12.99 a week and $52.99 for the season pass, which is not a conversion of the euro numbers. So treat the structure as fixed and the number as local.
And there is no fourth option. No lifetime, no map pack, no per-country purchase. The pricing page carries a FAQ that answers it directly: “It’s not possible to buy individual country maps with calimoto.” The reason it gives is that the cost of the map data is the same whether you ride one country or the whole planet.
Why every page gives you a different number
Because the pages answering this question were written across six years and nobody went back.
The review sitting in the top five for calimoto price in the United Kingdom carries the line “Date reviewed: June 2020”. It is a good review — thorough, honest, written by someone who clearly rode with the app — and its pricing table has three columns: Free, Single payment £59.99, Subscription £4.99/week or £39.99/year. That table was accurate in 2020. It is among the sources Google’s AI summary cites for the one-off map purchase that calimoto now says it does not sell.
The change has a date. A competitor’s blog documented it at the time: from 3 July 2023 the annual subscription went to €59.99, and “it will no longer be possible to record and save your own tours without taking out a subscription to the premium version of Calimoto.” That is the sentence that matters, and I will come back to it.
So the five prices in circulation are not errors. They are snapshots of different years stacked in the same search result, none of them dated where you would notice.
The plan nobody has written about yet
Calimoto announced the Season Pass on its own blog on 7 August 2026: three months of Premium, one payment, no subscription, no cancellation needed. It is on the pricing page, in the middle of the three cards.
Of the ten editorial pages that rank across calimoto price, calimoto pricing, calimoto cost, is calimoto free and calimoto free vs premium, none of them mentions it — and neither does calimoto’s own Premium overview page, which ranks on those same searches and still says “You can choose between a weekly or a yearly subscription.” The help centre does have an article about it, written on 21 August; it is buried, and it confirms the shape: three months from the date of purchase, one payment, no renewal, bought on the website.
It is worth doing the arithmetic, because the three prices are set against each other with more care than they look:
- Four weeks of the weekly plan cost €39.96. The Season Pass covers three months — about thirteen weeks — for €39.99. Three cents more, for nine extra weeks.
- Six weeks of the weekly plan cost €59.94. The whole year costs €59.99.
- Two Season Passes cost €79.98. The year costs €59.99, so the second pass is €20 worse than never having bought either.
- A Season Pass plus two weekly top-ups is €59.97. The year is €59.99. Two cents apart.
Which gives a rule you can hold in your head. Up to a month of riding, buy weeks. Up to a season, buy the pass. More than three months in any twelve, buy the year — because the moment you reach for a second pass you have overpaid for the first.
Per month that is €13.33 on the Season Pass against €5.00 on the year. The pass is not a discount, then. It is the price of not having a subscription, and calimoto has put a premium on that convenience of about two and two-thirds.
What the free plan actually does now
This is where the old reviews will actively mislead you, so here is the current table, straight off the pricing page. Calimoto calls the free tier Standard there and Basic in its help centre, which does not help anyone.
The table has fourteen rows. Four of them are ticked on the free side:
- Worldwide ride planning with the twisty roads algorithm, in the app or on desktop
- GPX, KML and ITN import
- Points of interest on the map
- Closed and restricted roads
The other ten are Premium only: offline maps, turn-by-turn navigation with voice, ride export, the overview of completed rides on the map, synchronised group rides, Android Auto and CarPlay, speed camera alerts, live speed and speed limit, lean angle and acceleration statistics — and this one:
Record your ride and save it. Record your ride even without active navigation and save it.
Now put that beside the 2020 table. In the free plan of 2020 you got voice guidance, ride tracking and ride statistics, but the map was “limited to your area”. In the free plan of 2026 you get the entire world to plan on, and you get no voice, no recording and no statistics.
The free tier did not shrink and it did not grow. It flipped. It gained the planet and lost the ride. If you install calimoto today expecting the free app described in a review from a few years ago, the thing you will find missing is the one you probably wanted.
There is a smaller asymmetry in the same table that is easy to walk past: you can import route files for free, but exporting them is Premium. Rides can come in without paying. They cannot leave.
The 14-day trial is a subscription that has already started
Calimoto’s trial is genuinely 14 days and genuinely free. It is also, in its own words, a yearly membership that is already running.
From the help article on it: “Your subscription will continue automatically and with charges after the 14-day trial period. If you do not like calimoto Premium, please remember to cancel your membership at least 24 hours before the end of the 14 days to avoid a payment. A refund of the first payment after the trial period is not possible.“
So the trial is really a 13-day trial with a hard deadline, and the penalty for missing it is a full year at full price with no way back. Set a reminder for day twelve.
Two more details that catch people out, both documented by calimoto rather than inferred. The first is where you buy: calimoto recommends the website, because that ties Premium to your account across platforms — and a subscription bought there is cancelled there, in your profile, not in the App Store or Play Store. Turning off auto-renew on the phone does nothing to a web subscription, which is the complaint you will find in the app store reviews, usually followed by a refund request that was declined.
The second is the one I would pin to the fridge, in calimoto’s own words: “Deleting your calimoto account does not automatically cancel your Premium subscription. To avoid continued charges, make sure to cancel your subscription in the place you originally purchased it.” Play Store, App Store or website — otherwise, it says, the subscription keeps renewing and billing as usual even though the account is gone. And deleting the account is irreversible: it takes every saved ride with it.
So is Premium worth it?
Premium buys one thing under a lot of names: being guided. Voice navigation, offline maps that keep working in the mountains, speed cameras, CarPlay and Android Auto, and a record of where you actually went. If that is what you want from a route planner, calimoto is a mature specialist and it does the job very well.
The free plan is a planning tool, and a surprisingly generous one now that it covers the whole world — worth installing on its own terms if you like building twisty routes on a laptop and reading them on the bike. It is not a satnav and it is not a logbook. If the only reason you are reading a pricing page is that you want your rides recorded, a navigation subscription is an expensive way to get there.
What I built instead, and what it will not do for you
I make RideLog, and it exists because the navigation apps do not answer the boring half of owning a motorcycle:
- It detects rides by itself, from motion sensors and GPS, with no record button to forget.
- It logs fuel and works out real cost per kilometre, and it reminds you about servicing, tyres, insurance and road tax.
- It has a route community — share your roads with photos, find rides near you, filter by distance and rating.
- Statistics by day, week, month and year, with PDF and CSV export.
- Nothing leaves the phone. No cloud, no server, works offline where there is no signal.
The limits matter more than the list. RideLog is not a turn-by-turn navigator and never will be, so it does not replace calimoto — different job, different app. Riders who want both end up running one of each: something to guide them out, something to remember what happened.
Download RideLog free — iPhone and Android, motorcycles and scooters, as many bikes as you own.
If you are still comparing route planners rather than prices, I put Kurviger, Calimoto and Scenic side by side on price, went through the routing engines in the calimoto alternatives guide, looked at what three of them put behind the paywall in Detecht vs REVER vs Calimoto, and covered the wider field in the best motorcycle apps roundup.
Frequently asked questions
Is calimoto free?
There is a free tier — Standard on the pricing page, Basic in the help centre — and it is not a trial. It plans routes worldwide with the twisty roads algorithm, shows points of interest and closed roads, and imports GPX, KML and ITN files. It does not give you voice navigation, offline maps, ride recording or exports. Those are Premium.
How much does calimoto Premium cost in 2026?
Three plans on the pricing page as of 11 September 2026: €9.99 a week (in the app only), €59.99 a year with a 14-day free trial, or €39.99 once for a three-month Season Pass. Prices are shown in your local currency and the app stores set their own, so check the number where you buy.
Can I buy calimoto maps once instead of subscribing?
Not any more. Calimoto’s FAQ says it is not possible to buy individual country maps, and there is no one-off map package on the pricing page. Reviews quoting a single payment of £59.99 or $139.99 are describing a product that is no longer sold.
Does the free version of calimoto record my rides?
No. “Record your ride and save it” sits in the Premium column, and has since July 2023. Older reviews that list ride tracking as a free feature were written before that change.
Which calimoto plan is cheapest for a two-week trip?
The weekly, at €9.99 a week, so €19.98 for a fortnight. It is sold in the app only. Past four weeks the Season Pass is cheaper, and past three months so is the year.
What happens after the calimoto free trial ends?
It converts into a paid yearly subscription automatically. You have to cancel at least 24 hours before the fourteenth day, and calimoto states that a refund of the first payment after the trial is not possible. Cancel it wherever you bought it — deleting your calimoto account does not stop the billing.
Is there a motorcycle app that tracks rides and running costs without a subscription?
That is the gap RideLog was built for: automatic ride detection, fuel and cost tracking, service and insurance reminders, and a route community, with everything kept on the phone instead of a server. Free on iPhone and Android — and not a navigator, so it sits alongside a route planner rather than replacing one.
