Comparison · Relive alternative
A Relive alternative that needs no account.
Relive is a popular app for 3D activity videos. RouteRewind does a similar job differently: it runs in a web browser, works from the file your watch already made, and has no account, subscription or upload of your data.
How they differ
| RouteRewind | Relive | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Any modern browser, desktop or phone | Mobile app, plus a website |
| Account | None | Required |
| How routes get in | Upload GPX, FIT, TCX or KML, or draw one in the planner | Record in the app or sync from connected services |
| Where your data is processed | In your browser; the track is never uploaded | On Relive’s servers |
| Price | Free, every feature | Free tier, with some features in a paid subscription |
| Video shapes | 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9, up to 4K at 60 fps | See Relive’s site |
When RouteRewind is the better fit
- You don’t want another account, app or subscription for an occasional video.
- You care where your location history goes. RouteRewind never receives your track.
- You want to make a video of a route you haven’t done yet, from the built-in planner.
- You want a vertical, square and landscape cut of the same route without re-uploading anything.
When Relive may suit you better
- You want videos made automatically after every activity, without exporting a file.
- You want a social feed of friends’ videos inside the same app.
Questions
Is RouteRewind free?
Yes, every feature, with no account. Videos carry a small routerewind.com credit.
Can I import my Relive or Strava history?
RouteRewind works one file at a time. Export the GPX or FIT file of the activity you want, then open it here.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in Safari or Chrome. For long routes or 4K exports a computer is faster and more reliable.
