Shane Miller has posted an analysis of what you get with Strava for free at YouTube:
Summary Strava Free:
- Unlimited uploads / activities.
- Upload direct (Strava Apps) or via a 3rd party linked service (Zwift, TrainerRoad, Peloton, etc)
- Training Summary (Weekly/Monthly/Yearly Totals)
- Dashboard is still the same. (Activity Feed, Kudos, Commenting, Posts - The social experience).
- Activity Analysis (Distance, Time, HR, Power, etc. + point and click drill-down).
- Segments still exist. (THEY ARE NOT PAYWALLED)
- You can see Segment details (distance, elevation, map, etc).
- You'll still set Segment PR/CR/QOM/KOM if you're fast enough.
- You can see your PR and your current activity segment time/stats.
- You can perform an effort comparison against your segment PR and QOM/KOM.
- You can create Segments.
- You can't see anything more than Top 10 Overall and Top 10 Women segment times.
- You can't see all of your previous Segment times/attempts.
- You can't set Goals.
- NO access to Training Analysis (Power Curve, Freshness/Fitness, etc).
- Flybys (full functionality)

- Routes: This is a tricky one. NO direct access to the new Route Builder.
- You can't create a route from scratch.
- You can't modify/edit existing route paths. (Edit: Name, Description, Type, Privacy.)
