Is GeoGuessr free? Partly

GeoGuessr's free Daily Challenge and Steam duels, what Pro and Elite cost, and our free geography games for the rest of the day.

GeoGuessr is free in a narrow way: one daily game on the web and some duels on Steam. Everything else needs a paid plan. This page sets out both, from GeoGuessr's own pricing and help pages as they stood on October 22, 2026, and ends with free games of ours you can play once your free GeoGuessr for the day is used up.

What you can play for free

Classic games on the official and community maps, ranked Duels on the web, Battle Royale, private parties with friends and Creator mode for making your own maps all sit behind Pro or Elite.

The Daily Challenge: five Street View locations a day, the same for everyone, with streaks. You need a free account to play it.
GeoGuessr Steam Edition: free to play, with unlimited Quickplay Solo Duels and Quickplay Team Duels. Its competitive Solo Duels need a Steam Pass or an Unlimited or Elite subscription from the website.
A seasonal extra: in October 2026 the home page was promoting a free horror mode; GeoGuessr does not say how long it will stay.

What Pro and Elite cost

These prices took effect on 22 January 2026. Before then, Pro billed yearly was $2.99 a month and $4.99 paid monthly, so a year of Pro went from $35.88 to $47.88.

Pro: $3.99 a month billed yearly ($47.88 a year), or $6.99 paid monthly.
Elite: $5.99 a month billed yearly ($71.88 a year), or $10.99 paid monthly.
Both plans list ad-free play, unlimited play, private parties, Creator mode, play anywhere and play on Steam.
In the iPhone app, the App Store sells its own subscriptions, at prices that differ from the website's.

How the free part has changed

GeoGuessr ended free play in early 2024, when a paid membership became necessary to play at all. In April 2026 it made the Daily Challenge free again for everyone with an account, and GeoGuessr's own page about free play lists only the Daily Challenge.

Our free games for the rest of the day

None of these is GeoGuessr, and none uses Street View. They are free games on Gamefinity that let you keep playing with places once your one free Daily Challenge is done, either because a run can be replayed at once or because earlier days are kept to play.
