Catch of a Lifetime vs Strava
Strava records the adventure you already had. Catch helps you find the people for the next one.
The short answer
Strava is an activity-tracking platform with a strong social layer: you log runs, rides and now hikes, follow people you already know, and join clubs with shared routes, challenges and leaderboards. Its hiking clubs grew sharply — Strava reported a 5.8× increase in hiking clubs during 2025. But Strava is built around performance data and an existing network. Catch of a Lifetime is built around meeting people you don't know yet, for activities that aren't scored. Many people will use both.
