Outside competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- The Dyrt: The Dyrt is a campsite discovery and review platform with a Pro subscription tier. It overlaps with Outside's camping/hiking content and Trailforks/Gaia utilities in the campground discovery use case and represents a more focused emerging competitor in outdoor lodging.
Broad incumbents
- Lonely Planet: Lonely Planet is an established travel content and guidebook publisher. While its outdoor emphasis is narrower than Outside's, it competes for travel-adjacent editorial attention and adventure-travel audiences — the same consumer Outside's media brands target.
- Condé Nast Traveler: Condé Nast Traveler is a leading premium travel publication and competes directly with Outside Magazine for travel journalism, awards (Lowell Thomas), and affluent travel-adjacent advertisers. It is a benchmark publication for Outside's editorial ambitions.
- Backcountry: Backcountry is a leading online outdoor and active-lifestyle retailer with content and gear discovery functionality. It overlaps with Cairn's curated product discovery and Outside's editorial-to-commerce funnel, though its primary model is e-commerce rather than media.
- REI Co-op: REI is the largest US outdoor retail co-op and operates a content/media arm (REI Co-op Journal) plus presenting sponsors Outside Festival. While primarily a retailer, REI competes for outdoor consumer mindshare, content attention, and loyalty engagement.
Direct peers
- Active Network: Active Network operates event registration, activity tracking, and endurance sports platforms (including endurance APIs and timing). It is highly comparable to Outside's athleteReg subsidiary and to Inntopia's B2B SaaS booking platform for endurance events.
- Komoot: Komoot is a routing and navigation platform for hiking, biking, and outdoor adventures with strong European presence. It competes with Gaia GPS and Trailforks on route planning and curated outdoor content, serving a similar enthusiast segment with a paid subscription.
- Strava: Strava is a dominant fitness tracking and social platform for runners and cyclists with a paid subscription model. It competes directly with Outside's MapMyFitness suite (MapMyRun/MapMyRide) and overlaps with Outside's content and subscription strategy for endurance athletes.
- AllTrails: AllTrails is the leading consumer hiking and trail navigation platform with a large base of trail-discovery users. It directly competes with Outside's Gaia GPS and Trailforks for outdoor route planning and is among the most comparable consumer outdoor utility products in the market.
Others
- Sojern: Sojern is a digital travel marketing/advertising platform targeting travelers across the booking funnel. While not a consumer-facing media brand, it is a comparable advertising and audience-targeting platform in the same travel-and-adventure customer segment Outside's ad business serves.
