Also $4.99 x 12 = $59.88, but first year "only" $59.99.

I'd be careful with komoot. They've been operating at a pretty big loss and they were just bought out by a company that has a tendency to rinse a products features for money until everyone leaves. They'll then sell it on having (in their eyes) hopefully made a profit.
Maybe this will be different, but I doubt it.
That's bullshit. They were operating profitably (>1 Million in Profit in 2022/2023/2024), they just weren't scaling much anymore.
The Founders just got greedy and wanted a big payday
Do you have a source for that 1 million in profit? I did find the following article that said their turnover in 23 was €36m but I can't see a profit figure.
Here's the article I found: https://www.wiwo.de/technologie/digitale-welt/komoot-wander-app-wird-verkauft-mitarbeiter-geschockt/100115256.html
Regardless of that though, I'm still concerned for its future. I moved all my routes to strava as a precaution.
2020/2021 they made over a Million
https://www.bundesanzeiger.de/ (you have to search for Komoot) It's an official German Website where companies have to publish once a year some data like turnover and profit.
2023 they made over 2 Million Profit

And for 2024 there aren't probably any numbers out yet
Yeah, heard of that news too. I only started getting used to it and bought some map with it, hope they will delay the inevitable.
