Standard tier with grandfathered 999 athlete cap — will it survive? Subscription needed?

Hi Strava team,

App: "Principle Guy" (client ID 213702), category Mobile App, direct integration(Firebase Cloud Functions, EU). We have a fitness mobile app + webapp; athletesconnect via OAuth.

My API settings currently show:- Developer tier: Standard- Athletes that can connect: 999

Currently connected: ~148

Use case: time-boxed corporate wellness activity challenges, read-only activitydata, ~150–300 athletes per campaign, a few campaigns per year. No intermediary.

Three questions about the new Developer Program:

1. My app shows a 999 athlete cap, but the new Standard tier mentions "up to 10   athletes." Is my 999 capacity grandfathered and will it stay, or be reduced to 10?

2. To keep my current Standard access (and the 999 cap) past June 30, is a Strava   subscription sufficient? I have an active-developer 3-month free code…. does   redeeming it preserve the same access?

3. For ~150–300 connected athletes per campaign, is Standard enough, or do I need   Extended Access? I'm well under the 10,000-user range Extended Access targets.

Thanks!

Hi  ​@Principle Guy ,

the standard tier mentions up to 9999 users. 10 users is only the cap where a review is not needed.

Every subscription has the same rights, regardless if it’s payed with money, free codes or otherwise granted.
