Yes. viaduct is free for everyone and almost every core feature works without paying: recording trips, maps, coverage statistics, the Railway Atlas, sharing and more. An optional patron subscription adds a few extras.

What do I get as a patron?

Patrons unlock video animation and GPX route export, extra file-upload credits (25-100 per month), manual and regional coverage updates, early access to new features, a yearly meetup invitation and postcard, and an optional listing on the patron page.

How much does a patron subscription cost?

Patron subscriptions start at €4 per month. You can choose a higher amount to support viaduct more and receive more monthly file-upload credits.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. A patron subscription is a monthly commitment you can cancel at any time.

What's the difference between the free and patron tiers?

The free tier includes almost all of viaduct's features. The patron tier adds a small set of extras, like video and GPX export and extra credits. Most importantly, patrons help fund the servers and development that keep viaduct free for everyone.

What's included

viaduct is free for you — but not for us. Almost every core feature works without paying, and we want to keep it that way. Support viaduct as a patron and help us build the best train tools. Patrons keep viaduct free for everyone and fund development, faster statistics, and reliable infrastructure.
