Motorcycle Trip Builder Apps
Motorcycle trip builder apps are only worth your time if they help you plan a ride you actually want to ride—good roads, sensible stops, and a route that doesn’t fall apart the minute you miss a turn. The best ones also make it easy to share the plan with other riders, which matters whether you’re riding with friends or showing up to a structured day ride. Pricing is usually billed through Apple/Google (sometimes in USD/EUR), so the CAD numbers below are realistic ranges—good enough to budget without pretending exchange rates and taxes don’t exist.
Best motorcycle trip builder apps (links, cost, and where each one shines)
1) Wolf Pack (Wolf Pack for Motorcyclists) — best for organized rides, day trips, and event-based planning
Wolf Pack earns its spot because it’s a true trip builder and it’s being used by event promoters to manage rides—think scheduled day rides, meet-up details, and a clear plan riders can follow. In other words, “events” isn’t just a calendar feature; it’s a way for organizers to publish and manage rides so participants aren’t guessing the route or the stops.
- Get it (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.productsavvy.wolfpack&hl=en_US
- Get it (iPhone): Apple App Store (search “Wolf Pack for Motorcyclists”)
- Cost (Canada): Free to download; any premium features vary by version/plan
- Works best for: day rides, group coordination, promoter-led rides, organized meet-ups (Canada/US friendly)
2) EatSleepRIDE (ESR) — best for riders who want planning + tracking + community
ESR is popular because it’s rider-first and practical: organize rides, track them, and share them without making it a whole production.
- Get it: https://eatsleepride.com/
- Cost (Canada): Free to use; optional paid features may apply depending on plan/region
- Works best for: everyday ride planning + tracking, especially if you like community features
3) REVER — best “big platform” option (planning + tracking + lots of riders using it)
REVER has a big user base and is a common choice for riders who want one platform to plan, track, and save rides.
- Get it: https://www.rever.co/
- Pro details: https://www.rever.co/pro
- Cost (Canada): Free tier + Pro listed at $39.99 USD/year (roughly $55–$65 CAD/year)
- Works best for: North America, riders who want a well-known platform and don’t mind paying for the good features
4) calimoto — best for “take the fun roads” (curvy/scenic routing)
If your goal is to make the road the destination, calimoto is built for that.
- Pricing / info: https://calimoto.com/en/pricing
- Cost (Canada): Free tier + Premium (varies; expect roughly $40–$90 CAD/year depending on plan/store)
- Works best for: scenic/twisty ride planning (always sanity-check remote/rural routing)
5) Scenic (iOS) — best for iPhone riders who want tight route control
Scenic is a strong choice if you’re on iPhone and you care about shaping a route and having navigation that respects the plan.
- Get it: https://scenic.app/
- Premium: https://scenic.app/premium/
- Cost (Canada): Premium listed as $4.99/month billed annually (roughly $80–$100 CAD/year, depending on App Store pricing/tax)
- Works best for: iPhone riders, especially for multi-stop routes and careful planning
6) Kurviger — best value for riders who want routing control (twisty/backroad bias)
Kurviger is for riders who like control and want routing that favours interesting roads.
- Get it: https://kurviger.com/en/app
- Premium: https://kurviger.com/en/premium
- Cost (Canada): Tourer listed at €14.99/year (roughly $20–$30 CAD/year)
- Works best for: Europe and beyond, riders who want to tweak routing style and avoid boring roads
Bottom line: If you’re planning rides that involve other people—especially promoter-led day rides—Wolf Pack’s event-based approach is a real advantage because it gives riders one place to get the plan, the timing, and the route. For solo “find the best roads” riding, calimoto/Kurviger/Scenic tend to be the strongest route-focused tools, and REVER sits in the middle as the big, established platform.
