Is Fakepace a Fake My Run alternative?

Yes. Both generate a running activity from a drawn route; Fakepace exports TCX with heart rate, cadence, laps and device data, and is priced in rupiah.

Can I import a Fake My Run GPX into Fakepace?

Not yet. Draw the route in the Fakepace builder; points snap to real roads so it takes a minute.

Which one is safer on Strava?

Neither is endorsed by Strava. A file with consistent HR, pace variation and pauses looks more like a real recording than a flat GPX, but keep the pace realistic and use it sparingly.

Is there a free tier?

Drawing, previewing and tuning are free. You pay per download: IDR 5K Basic, 10K Pro, or 50K per month unlimited.

COMPARISON

Fakepace vs Fake My Run

Fake My Run made generated runs famous. Fakepace was built for a different job: a complete, watch-like activity file — heart rate, cadence, laps, device — paid for in rupiah. Here is the honest side-by-side.

Feature by feature

	Fakepace	Fake My Run
Export format	TCX with pace, heart rate, cadence, laps, device metadata	GPX (route + timestamps)
Heart rate & cadence	Yes (Pro), simulated from your zones	Not on the public feature list
Device profile	Garmin / COROS simulation (Pro)	Not on the public feature list
Pace realism	Per-segment variation, negative/positive split, auto-pause	Pace setting
Route drawing	Snap to real roads via Mapbox, terrain elevation	Draw any shape, elevation data
Price	IDR 5K (Basic) / 10K (Pro) per file, 50K/month unlimited	See fakemy.run for current pricing
Payment	QRIS (all Indonesian banks & e-wallets)	Card
Language	English + Bahasa Indonesia	English

Pick Fake My Run if

You want a quick GPX and do not care about heart rate or device data.
You are outside Indonesia and pay by card.
You want to draw a shape for fun rather than a realistic run.

Pick Fakepace if

You want the file to look like it came off a watch: HR, cadence, laps, auto-pause.
You pay in rupiah via QRIS and want per-file pricing from IDR 5K.
You need Bahasa Indonesia and a builder tuned for Indonesian roads.

Why TCX matters

GPX describes where you went. TCX describes the whole activity: every second has a position, heart rate, cadence, and lap context. Strava and Garmin Connect treat a TCX upload as a recorded workout, which is why generated GPX runs often look flat — no HR, identical splits, no pauses.

Fakepace writes 1 Hz trackpoints with natural pace variation, terrain-based elevation, and watch-like laps. Keep the pace inside your normal range and use it responsibly; uploading generated activities can still violate Strava's terms.
