When Shy He launched his devices 5.0 and MG (“Medical class”) in May 2025, the company also introduced prices. Now there are three levels of membership to comply with two current hardware devices. I will explain what they are, and how to decide which one makes the most meaning for you.
Whoop is a fitness tracker without a screen that I earned four stars in my review of model 4.0 for its integrated tracking of physical preparation and restoration and processing of strength training. It is available only by subscription, and the equipment is a kind of bonus that comes with membership. (Nevertheless, if you are interested in a bracelet without a screen that does not have software, worthy of a subscription, Amarefit Helio Rap Strong alternative. I have Comparison of two here.)
What in Whoop 5.0 against mg
The device 5.0 from WhoOP is the current one that comes with the budget and the average level of the genus. If you remember the senior Whoop 4.0, it is very similar (but smidge has less and has more than twice as many battery life). 5.0 is a device that you receive with one ($ 199/year) and peak ($ 239 a year).
MG is a version of the hardware “Medical Accounting”. This is the same size and shape as 5.0, with the same sensors, except that it has a metal fastener, so it can take ECG readings. (When you take ECG readings, you touch the fastener with one hand, wear the device on your other wrist, just like Apple Watch and other wearable devices for ECG.) MG is supplied with LIFE membership at 359 dollars a year.
Both devices are charged with wireless power; You charge power over the USB-C when convenient, and then, when you want to replenish your scream, you put on the packaging on the crush when you wear it. Only members of the peak level and life receive a wireless power bag; At the lowest level of membership, they enter with a wired charger.
What do you get with each of the three levels of membership
Three new membership levels are one (199 US dollars/year), peak ($ 239 per year) and life ($ 359 per year). One of them is a cut membership, the peak is similar to what users who now have, and life is a new offer with additional health functions. Here's a failure:
In ($ 199/year)
One This is budget membership. You get a wired charger instead of a wireless power package and the Coreknit group, which seems to be a new material that is not as good as the SuperKnit groups offered with higher levels.
If you decline to this level, you will lose several functions that the participants of the Whoop currently receive: the health monitor (with its indications for the VCR, the frequency of breathing, the heart rate and the skin temperature) and the stress monitor, which in real time tells you what voltage you seem to be.
Peak in Whiop ($ 239 a year)
Peak The most similar to one subscription level, which was proposed from 4.0, both in price and in functions. If your subscription is updated without choosing a level, you will find yourself at the peak.
What do you think so far?
You will also get Healthspan function This tells you about your “age” and your “pace of aging” and gives recommendations to improve these indicators.
Life Life ($ 359 a year)
Life It is the highest membership and is supplied with MG, not 5.0 equipment. It includes everything at the peak, including the Healthspan function.
With MG you can take ECG, and this level also has a function that claims to evaluate your blood pressure. You will need to calibrate it with readings from the cuff of blood pressure in order to start using it. This is contradictory, because FDA reported that this function is illegalBut while it remains accessible in the application.
What if I have an older device?
Membership in WhoOP is still working with the old device 4.0, and participants from 4.0 still get access to everything that the peak membership offers, including the Healthspan function. If your membership is updated without a chosen level, you will be turned into a peak membership.
If you do not have a Whoop device yet, do not worry about receiving 4.0. Sometimes people try to sell or distribute used versions, as if they are providing you with a service, providing you with a discount. There is nothing wrong with using 4.0 if you want to prevent another device in a landfill, but personally this will not save you money. Using the Whoop device means paying for membership, and you get a free device 5.0 (or MG) when you launch or extend membership.
