Withings to charge $99 yearly for Apple Health syncing

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 15 Oct, 21:14 · Archive

Withings will require new users to pay $99.50 per year for automatic data syncing to Apple Health and other apps from October 13, 2026.

Withings, which makes smart scales and fitness-tracking smartwatches, will begin charging new users for automatic syncing to third-party health apps from October 13, 2026. The Withings+ subscription costs $99.50 per year, or $9.95 per month, in the United States. New accounts will receive a one-month free trial that includes syncing access; syncing will then pause when the trial ends, though data already in third-party apps will not be deleted.

Existing customers who created their Withings accounts on or before October 12, 2026 will continue to have automatic third-party app syncing for free indefinitely. Existing users who purchase new Withings devices will not be affected by the change, as the feature is tied to the account rather than individual devices.

New users wishing to sync their data to Apple Health, Google Health or other third-party applications will need to subscribe to continue accessing the automatic syncing feature after their trial period ends.
