Whoop membership costs $30 per month when you pay month-to-month, or $239 per year if you pay annually
Whoop is a wearable fitness tracker that charges a monthly subscription rather than a one-time purchase price. The device itself is free when you sign up for a membership — you pay only for the subscription. If you choose the month-to-month plan, you'll be charged $30 each month. If you pay for a full year upfront, the annual cost is $239, which works out to about $20 per month.
Whoop also offers a 30-day trial period at no cost, though you will need to provide a payment method to start it. After the trial ends, your membership will convert to a paid plan unless you cancel before the trial period closes.
Key Takeaways
- Month-to-month membership is $30 per month; annual membership is $239 per year (roughly $20 per month).
- The Whoop band itself is included free with any membership — you do not pay separately for the device.
- A 30-day trial is available at no cost, but you must cancel before it ends to avoid being charged.
- Whoop does not charge setup fees, shipping fees, or hidden monthly add-ons beyond the base subscription price.
What the subscription includes
Your Whoop membership gives you access to the mobile app, which displays your daily strain, recovery, and sleep data. The app shows your Heart Rate Variability (HRV), resting heart rate, and sleep stages. You can set custom goals and receive notifications when your recovery drops below your target range.
The subscription also includes the ability to log activities, track workouts, and see how different exercises affect your strain score. You can export your data and share it with coaches or trainers if you choose. Whoop's app works on both iOS and Android phones.
When your subscription renews and how to cancel
If you're on a month-to-month plan, you'll be charged on the same day each month. If you're on an annual plan, you'll be charged once per year on your renewal date. Whoop will send you a reminder email before your next charge.
To cancel your membership, you log into your Whoop account on the app or website and select "Manage Membership." You can cancel anytime without penalty. If you cancel during an active billing period, your access continues until that period ends — you won't receive a refund for the time remaining.
Comparing month-to-month versus annual payment
| Plan Type | Monthly Cost | Annual Cost | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Month-to-Month | $30 | $360 per year | Testing the service or uncertain commitment |
| Annual | $20 (averaged) | $239 | Long-term users who want lower per-month cost |
The annual plan saves you $121 per year compared to paying month-to-month. However, you'll need to pay the full $239 upfront. If you're unsure whether you'll use Whoop regularly, the month-to-month option lets you cancel without losing money on unused months.
Whether Whoop offers discounts or promotions
Whoop occasionally runs promotional offers, particularly around holidays or when launching new features. These promotions typically reduce the first month's cost or offer a longer trial period. You may also find discount codes through fitness influencers or sports partnerships.
Student discounts are sometimes available through Whoop's website if you have a valid student email address. Military and healthcare worker discounts have been offered in the past, though availability changes. Check Whoop's current promotions page or contact their support team to see what offers are running at the time you're considering membership.
What happens if you stop paying
If your payment method fails or you don't pay by your renewal date, Whoop will typically send you a notice and give you a window to update your payment information. If payment remains unsuccessful after that period, your account will be suspended and you'll lose access to the app and your data.
You can reactivate your account by updating your payment method and paying any outstanding balance. Your historical data is usually preserved for a period after suspension, though Whoop's exact retention policy may vary. Contact Whoop support if your account has been suspended and you want to restore it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a refund if I cancel mid-month?
No. Whoop does not offer refunds for unused time within a billing period. If you cancel on the 15th of a month, you keep access until the end of that month, but you won't receive a partial refund for the remaining days.
Is there a contract or commitment period?
No. Whoop has no contract. You can cancel your month-to-month membership at any time. Annual memberships also have no lock-in — you can cancel before your renewal date to avoid the next charge.
Do I have to buy the Whoop band separately?
No. The band is included free with your subscription. You receive it when you sign up. If your band breaks or wears out, Whoop offers replacement bands for purchase, but the initial device is part of your membership.
What payment methods does Whoop accept?
Whoop accepts major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) and debit cards. Payment is processed through their website or app. Some regions may have additional payment options available.
Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?
Whoop does not offer a formal pause feature. Your options are to keep your subscription active or cancel it. If you cancel and want to rejoin later, you can sign up again, though you may not retain your historical data depending on how long you've been away.
