Register an App w/o Subscription

My understanding is that the only way to register multiple apps is to create an account for each, as a single account cannot be associated with more than one app. As such I set up a new account, however was unable to register my new app as I did not have permission to access strava.com/settings/api. In the UI this appeared as the "My API Application" button not being present. I was unable to find any documentation discussing this, but then decided to sign up for the trial subscription and it worked fine from then on.

This seems wrong as devs surely should not be expected to create and subscribe to a new account if they are woking on multiple apps as I am. Also there is no mention of this being a  feature of a sub, if it were intentional.

Perhaps I am missing something or if not, could someone from Strava please help clarify the rational here?

Hi there, 

In our documentation you'll find a link to create or manage your app. Until you have created an application, the settings dashboard won't appear in your account. While you do need a separate account(s) for any additional app(s) you create, a subscription is not a requirement for creating an API application.
