Is there a more free version of Alltrails? I find Alltrails to be too paywalled when I don't even think they deserve my money. What exactly do they even do? The community creates everything and it's not like they're contributing to the Maps community or anything.

A few years ago I'd recommend Gaia, but it's gone downhill ever since the acquisition. Komoot or onX Backcountry may have what you're looking for. Caltopo is great for maps, but it's less user-friendly and doesn't have curated content.

What exactly do they even do

fwiw hosting, moderating, and curating the community content, plus maintaining a cross-platform app with a fairly polished UI is not free
