Subscribe or claim Founding Member on the web. Also available in the Rally iOS app. No purchase required to join run clubs.
How to qualify as a Founding Member
Founding Member is not a third plan. It is lifetime Rally+ for the first 1,000 eligible members, with no recurring charge. An eligible Rally account claims it on Account → Membership (or in the iOS app) while the offer is open. Completing your profile, joining a club, and checking in are not required. Signing up does not reserve a spot, and Rally does not grant Founding Member automatically. Paid social-intent ads may send you to Claim Free Rally+ — you still must verify and claim. This page does not show how many places remain. After 1,000 members claim, Rally+ is $9.99/month or $79.99/year. Annual billing saves $40 compared with paying monthly.
Questions
Is Rally free?
Yes. Finding clubs, browsing profiles and upcoming runs, joining a club, RSVPing, checking in, and receiving or accepting a Connect do not require Rally+.
What does Rally+ include?
Rally+ is the optional social layer. In the app it covers sending a Connect, people discovery, expanded social profiles, messaging connections, and after-run plans. Anyone can still receive and accept a Connect without it. Creating a brand-new club inside the app is also currently a Rally+ action. Claiming a club that is already listed is not.
What is a Founding Member?
A Founding Member has lifetime Rally+ without a subscription. The first 1,000 eligible members can claim it on Account → Membership or in the iOS app while spots remain. Signing up alone does not reserve a spot. It stays on the account across login and logout. It is not a separate membership plan, and it is not required for captains.
Do captains have to pay?
No. Requesting ownership of a listed club is free, on this site and in the app. After Rally approves the request, captain tools for that club do not require Rally+. A captain can be a free member, a Rally+ subscriber, or a Founding Member.
Can I cancel Rally+?
Founding Member access has no renewal and nothing to cancel. Paid web subscriptions are managed on Account → Membership via the Stripe billing portal. App Store purchases (when offered) are managed in Apple ID subscriptions.
Can I get Rally+ on the website?
Yes. Signed-in members can claim Founding Member (while spots remain) or subscribe at $9.99/month or $79.99/year on Account → Membership. Checkout is handled by Stripe. The same Rally+ entitlement works in the iOS app.
Anyone can receive and accept a Connect. Sending one is part of Rally+. You'll see the price before you pay. No hidden fees, and you will not be charged automatically. See the Terms of Service and Refund & Cancellation Policy.
