Oura Ring subscription costs $5.99 per month or $59.99 per year

The Oura Ring is a wearable device that tracks sleep, activity, and heart rate. The ring itself costs money upfront, but the subscription unlocks the app and most of the tracking features. If you buy the ring, you'll need to decide whether to pay monthly or annually for access to the data and insights it collects.

The monthly subscription is $5.99. The yearly subscription is $59.99, which works out to about $5 per month if you commit for a full year. Most people save money by paying annually, but monthly gives you the option to cancel without a long commitment.

Oura offers a free trial period when you first set up the ring, usually 30 days. This lets you see what the app does before you decide to pay. After the trial ends, the subscription becomes active and you're charged according to whichever plan you chose.

Key Takeaways

  • The Oura Ring subscription costs $5.99 per month or $59.99 per year, with the yearly plan saving you about $12 annually.
  • You get a free trial period (usually 30 days) when you first activate the ring to test the app before paying.
  • The subscription gives you access to the mobile app, sleep tracking, activity tracking, and daily readiness scores.
  • Without an active subscription, the ring still works as a device, but the app won't show your data or insights.

What the subscription includes

The subscription gives you access to the Oura app on your phone, where you see all the data the ring collects. This includes detailed sleep reports (how long you slept, sleep stages, and sleep quality), activity tracking throughout the day, and your daily Readiness Score — a number that tells you how recovered your body is and whether it's a good day to push hard or rest.

You also get trend data over weeks and months, so you can see patterns in your sleep and activity. The app shows you personalized insights based on your data, like how your sleep changes when you exercise or how your heart rate responds to stress. Some features, like the ability to log workouts or track specific health metrics, are part of the subscription.

The ring itself continues to collect data even without an active subscription, but you won't be able to see it in the app. Once you reactivate your subscription, all that stored data syncs back to the app.

Ring cost separate from subscription

The Oura Ring itself costs between $299 and $399 depending on the model and materials you choose. This is a one-time purchase, separate from the subscription fee. You pay for the ring when you order it, and then the subscription begins when you activate it.

Oura sometimes runs promotions on the ring itself, especially during holidays or sales events. The subscription price stays the same regardless of which ring model you own or when you bought it.

How to manage your subscription

You can change your subscription plan or cancel it through the Oura app settings. If you're on the monthly plan and want to switch to yearly, you can do that anytime — you'll pay the difference for the remaining months. If you cancel, your access to the app stops immediately, but you can reactivate at any time.

Oura charges your payment method on the same day each month (for monthly plans) or each year (for yearly plans). If a payment fails, Oura typically sends a notice and gives you a window to update your payment information before suspending your subscription.

Comparing monthly versus yearly payment

The yearly plan costs $59.99 total, which breaks down to about $5 per month. The monthly plan costs $5.99 per month, which adds up to $71.88 per year if you pay for all 12 months. Choosing yearly saves you roughly $12 per year compared to paying monthly.

The trade-off is flexibility. Monthly lets you cancel anytime without penalty if you decide the ring isn't for you. Yearly locks you in for 12 months, but you can still cancel early — you just won't get a refund for unused months. If you're certain you'll use the ring long-term, yearly is the better deal.

What happens if you don't pay the subscription

If your subscription lapses or you cancel it, the Oura app will stop showing your data and insights. The ring itself keeps working and collecting information, but you won't see it anywhere. Some basic information might display on the ring's screen itself (like sleep duration), but the detailed tracking and analysis require the app.

You can reactivate your subscription at any time. When you do, the app reconnects to the ring and pulls all the data it collected while the subscription was inactive. There's no penalty for letting your subscription lapse and restarting it later.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a free version of Oura without paying for a subscription?

No. The ring requires an active subscription to use the app and see your data. You get a free trial period when you first set up the ring, but after that ends, you need to pay. The ring itself continues to collect data without a subscription, but you can't view it.

Can I use the Oura Ring with multiple phones or accounts?

One subscription covers one ring and one account. If you want to view your data on multiple phones, you can log into the same account on different devices. If you want a second ring, you'd need a second subscription.

Does Oura offer discounts for longer commitments or family plans?

Oura does not currently offer family plans or multi-ring discounts. Each ring requires its own subscription. The yearly plan is the main way to save money compared to paying monthly.

What payment methods does Oura accept?

Oura accepts major credit cards and debit cards. You set up your payment method when you activate the ring, and you can update it anytime in the app settings.

Can I get a refund if I cancel my subscription early?

If you're on a yearly plan and cancel before 12 months are up, Oura does not refund the unused portion. Monthly subscriptions can be cancelled anytime without penalty, and you're only charged for the months you use.
