Though at that price, a number of workouts are very limited. The step up is $24 which is still cheaper but I can see the company calculating that if someone has spent $1500 for a bike they'll spring for the full on-bike subscription as opposed to sticking an iPad somewhere.

Pretty sure it's the same number of workouts, the only difference is the ability to access the workouts on the bike.

In the case of rowing workouts, you only get like 4 a month with the lower subscription; I looked it up. My old rowing machine monitor wouldn't be compatible anyway; I'd have to upgrade and not really interested.
