Is MyWhoosh The Zwift Killer?

In today's video, I am diving deep into MyWhoosh—an intriguing, free-to-use cycling app that's turning heads but still has room to grow. In this video, I will dive deep into my Whoosh's strategies to take on Zwift and why users haven't been jumping on this platform.

With the latest Zwift price increase, I’ll be switching to MyWhoosh when my Zwift subscription is up.

[zenfishbike]

Haven't tried it yet, but I think this is exactly what I've been looking for. No crowds, no annoying "Ride On Thumbs" all over the place. No cost....Perfect!

[davidcraig]

I changed from Zwift to Rouvy this year. Enjoying it much much more.

[trevorn]

I’ve been playing around with mywoosh and Rolla before I’m locked away in a Canadian winter paying $20/month for zwift. I’m excited that there is competition in this space.

[TheGobykoh]

Switched the myWhoosh after the recent Zwift price hike. As a non virtual racer, this is spot on!

[mohelu]

So glad competition to Zwift is starting to take shape … as much as Zwift is good, it is too expensive IMO. Hopefully this will either push Zwift to reconsider their fees or push people away from it.

I haven't heard of MyWhoosh until the UCI made a deal with them. That may help them to grow but it needs to target amateur racing & social stuff in order to be a real competitor

[docfink]

You make excellent comparisons between competing products and explain well why some thrive and others need to be lights-out from the beginning in order to challenge them.

I am waiting for Mac OS compatibility, but I am definitely interested in trying it out.

[GeorgAndTheBike]

I Love the racing on Zwift and you can do that 24/7. the racing depends on the network effect, as it's just much more fun to ride with others, and that's where Zwift has this huge advantage over all other competitors

[tristramwilson]

I've been using MyWoosh for a time now (from Zwift) and having been using it mainly for maintaining my outdoor cycling fitness. So generally only use it for training. Therefore the lack of a social vibe doesn't affect me at all. Be interesting to see the "social riding" vs "practical" (racing and training riding) ratio if there is such a split amongst users.

[lucach]

First time I heard of MyWhoosh and learnt about it thanks to you. This clearly shows that they haven’t done enough marketing and advertising to reach out to a wider audience!

[Fjodye]

im super happy zwift has some competiton. Definitely gonna swich to mywoosh, at least until next year. Where i live, zwift costs quite a lot and when im not riding i always have that in the back of my head "i paid so i should be zwifting". Putting some weird pressure on myself.
Looking forward to further development of apps like mywoosh, etc. Compared to regular "gaming" industry, they're very much in their early stages in pretty much every aspect. One of them being monetization

[CalMar]

This looks super interesting. I'm loyal to Zwift at the moment because it is all I have known and helped me fall in love with cycling when I live in a place where I cannot always ride outside (snow/cold). However, I am always happy to see competition in this space as it will make everyone better off and I will always try a new competitor and give them a try.
Once they launch on Mac anyway...

[TheWegenast]

As other fellow cyclists mentioned an iOS compatibility is a precondition for me to give it a try. Zwift has been an integral part of my falling back in love with cycling and I do enjoy the „banter“ during group-rides.
I also think, that the free price tag will disappear as soon as there are sufficient users on the platform. But that’s kind of obvious.
Thanx for yet another excellent video of yours. Thanks for this!

[thomasgrantham]

I have dabbled with My Whoosh a couple of times.... but went back to Zwift... I am giving it a go again... we shall see what developments happen over the next year.... great video!

[familiekontoen]

There is a reason why Zwift cycles through availability of the different worlds and routes. Simple to keep it fresh for the riders and mostly that all players are not scattered on all the routes making them look half empty. Mywhoosh should do the same, and actually a lot more tightly since they have fewer players.

[frankpapaleo]

A lot of RGT users are now using indie velo. I gave this a try but for some reason it’s all limited to 30fps by design and with graphics on high and riders on screen it drops too low to be any good. Zwift competition is always good, keeps things moving forward

[MNaumann]

Love it, ride my Handbike several times a week.. I'm not switching back to Zwift again. It runs super well and I find it very user-friendly.

[ronm]

Whoa.
This looks interesting. I'm going to have to give MyWoosh a try
