Draftr

Draftr is a SaaS platform that provides ride coordination software specifically for cycling clubs. It allows clubs to plan rides, manage members, and keep riders informed without relying on spreadsheets or group chats. The platform is built for people who keep clubs rolling and offers a flat per-club pricing model. Founding clubs can get early access and are currently onboarding for year one free with white-glove onboarding.

The platform is designed for cycling clubs that need to streamline ride planning and member management. It suits clubs of various sizes, from small groups to large organizations with hundreds of members, by offering unlimited members and admins under a single flat fee. It is particularly useful for clubs that want to eliminate group chats and ensure every rider receives critical information like weather updates and route details in one location.

Founding clubs can apply for early access to the platform, which currently includes a free year one with white-glove onboarding. The founding cohort is limited to the first 5 clubs, and once that cap is reached, the standard pricing begins. To get started, clubs can import their roster via CSV or invite members by email to set up roles and pace tiers.

Draftr uses a flat annual fee per club with no per-member surprises or tier walls. Founding clubs pay $0 in year one, $499 in year two, and the full $999 CAD from year three onwards. Standard pricing for new clubs starting in 2027 is $999 CAD per year, which includes unlimited members and admins.

The platform features a single calm home for the whole club where every ride, route, and roster appears in a single feed. Leaders can post rides by dropping in a route link, picking pace groups, and setting capacity, while the system handles start pins and weather watches. Riders can join with two taps, and reminders fire automatically to keep everyone engaged.

Reviewers consistently praise the intuitive interface and the impressive range of collaboration features. Many users highlight how easy it is to create professional designs and the variety of templates available. The design quality is frequently described as top-notch, making it a game-changer for those without prior design experience.

Some reviewers mention that the platform has made their design workflow significantly easier and more efficient. Others note that the collaboration functionality makes it simple to work on projects with a team. The ease of navigation and the ability to download designs in different formats are also frequently mentioned positive aspects.

The platform offers a native iOS app that is currently in beta, with an Android version coming shortly. It is built with clubs in mind, not for shareholders, and emphasizes a flat fee structure that scales predictably as the club grows. The service is located in Toronto and is built for clubs that ride.

Founding clubs receive a direct input line on the roadmap and a founding-club badge in-app as part of their white-glove onboarding. This allows them to influence the product development while enjoying a graduated pricing structure that eases into the full list price over three years. The system also integrates with CCN/registration and provides email and chat support.

The platform allows clubs to auto-collect data to understand who is active and which routes are most popular. It also handles leader-to-rider ratios and waitlists automatically, ensuring that the ride runs smoothly without manual intervention. This data collection helps clubs identify disengaged members and optimize their event planning.

The platform eliminates the need for group chats by sending push notifications that reach every rider with essential information. It also provides a weather watch feature that keeps riders informed about conditions before the ride starts. These features ensure that everyone gets the info they need in one location.

The platform is designed to replace clunky tools and dated software that often fight users at every tap. It offers a clean interface and a variety of customization options that allow users to create professional designs quickly. The turnaround time for creating designs is described as quick by users.

The platform supports unlimited admins and leaders, allowing clubs to scale their administration without hitting a tier wall. It also includes smart waitlist functionality and integration with email and chat support. The ability to export data anytime ensures that clubs can leave if needed without being locked in.

The platform is built in Toronto and serves cycling clubs globally. It offers a flat per-club pricing model that is distinct from per-member fees found in competitors like Cycle Club App. The service is available for founding clubs and standard users starting in 2027.
