Launch Addition: SoGnar turns every ride into gameplay, with a hint of learning. Hit start on the Gnar Tracker, and ride. GPS tracks your route. You'll earn digital coins along your path. Every coin you collect on real roads and real trails unlocks one play in the SoGnar Arcade, a library of cycling mini-games where you compete and climb your crew's leaderboard. SoGnar Cycles is a subscription app: after your free trial, a paid subscription ($1.99/month or $19.99/year) is required to use every feature below. Full terms at the end. Real rides fuel the games. The games pull you back to real rides. That's the whole loop. Every ride counts. No matter how fast or how hard. SoGnar isn't built for fastest known times or pro wattages. Riders collect coins on every ride, whether it's casual spins, shuttle laps, all-day epics, commutes, or kids in tow. Show up, pedal, earn. The app rewards consistency over speed and effort over ego. The loop: Ride → Play → Compete → Repeat Step 1. Ride - Your phone's GPS tracks your ride. Digital coins are earned while you ride. No spoofing. No shortcuts. Real rides only. Step 2. Play - One coin earned outdoors unlocks one play in the SoGnar Arcade. Standalone cycling-themed mini-games with hidden Stoke Points tucked into every level. The arcade is only open to riders who earned their way in. Step 3. Compete - Climb your crew's leaderboard by stacking Stoke Points from the mini-games. Real rides fuel the game. The games get riders back on their bikes. Step 4. Repeat - Hit the trail again. Earn coins. Cash them in. Top the board. Then go ride again, because the only way to keep playing is to keep pedaling. The SoGnar Arcade: We have too many mini-games at launch; submit feedback in the profile screen to help us narrow it down: Each game is built by riders who play games and gamers who ride. Tight controls. Replayability built in. Hidden Stoke Points reward exploration, not just completion. Built for mountain bikers, friendly to all riders SoGnar is built around dirt trails, but who cares! Bring it to the bike park, the local loop, the gravel grind, or the commute. It all counts. Your crew, your board: Build a private leaderboard with your riding crew. Compete by collecting SoGnar Points in the arcade. Smack talk encouraged. Built independently: SoGnar is independent, no big corporate parent, no data-mining business model. Your rides are yours. We don't sell your data. You control what's public, what's crew-only, and what stays on your device. Get started. Download. Set up your rider profile. Hit start on your first ride. By the time you're back at the car, you'll have a stack of coins burning a hole in your pocket, and an arcade waiting to be unlocked. Ride more.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Upace Connect at none against SoGnar Cycles's 3. Upace Connect also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). SoGnar Cycles's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
