A free GpxOverlay alternative, no pass to buy
GpxOverlay is browser-based like Stamptivity, but there’s no free export tier. Plans start at $39 for a 3-month, 1-hour-video pass. Stamptivity exports free, with no cap, indefinitely.
To be fair: GpxOverlay ships dedicated presets for niches like sailing and aviation that Stamptivity doesn’t have out of the box.

Pick the right tool
Neither is strictly better
Choose Stamptivity if…
- You want to export without buying a pass or subscription.
- Your videos might run past an hour.
- Your data comes from Garmin, Wahoo, Coros, or Strava as GPX/FIT.
- You’d rather not create a purchase account.
Choose GpxOverlay if…
- You need one of their niche presets (sailing, aviation, skiing) out of the box.
- You prefer a fixed widget library over a composable, rebind-any-source system.
- A one-time $179 lifetime pass beats a free tool for your use case.
FAQ
Does GpxOverlay have a free plan?
GpxOverlay lets you start designing for free, but exporting requires a paid pass: $39 for 3 months (capped at 1-hour videos), $59 for 1 year (unlimited duration), or $179 lifetime. Stamptivity Overlay exports for free, with no pass and no video length cap.
Is there a watermark on GpxOverlay exports?
None of GpxOverlay’s paid plans add a watermark. There’s no free export tier to compare against. Stamptivity is free and watermark-free on every export.
Which has more gauges?
GpxOverlay publishes 29+ fixed widget types. Stamptivity’s picker offers 100+ combinations, 15 data channels × up to 15 styles each, and any element rebinds to a different data source rather than staying fixed. If you need a specific niche preset (aviation, sailing, skiing), GpxOverlay’s library is still worth checking.
Do I need an account for either tool?
GpxOverlay requires a purchase account to export. Stamptivity Overlay needs no account at all, on the free tier or otherwise, because there is no other tier.
What happens to my GpxOverlay pass after it expires?
The 3-month pass is time-limited by design; the 1-year plan renews or lapses. The Lifetime tier ($179) is pay-once. Stamptivity has no expiry to track, it’s free indefinitely.
Does Stamptivity work on Mac and Linux like GpxOverlay?
Yes, both are browser-based tools, so both run on any OS with a modern browser.
