When Whoop launched its 5.0 and MG (“medical grade”) devices in May 2025, the company also introduced price levels. There are now three levels of membership to accompany the two current material devices. I will explain what they are and how to decide which one makes the most meaning for you.
Whoop is the Fitness Tracker without screen that won four stars in my review of model 4.0 For its integrated monitoring and recovery and manipulation of strength training. It is only available by subscription, the equipment being in a way a bonus which is delivered with membership. (That said, if you are interested in a screen without a screen that does not have the software worthy of subscription, the Amazfit Helio strap is a strong alternative. I have a comparison of the two here.)
What is in Whoop 5.0 against MG
Whoop’s 5.0 system is the current one that comes with the budget and the mid -road subscriptions. If you remember the old Whoop 4.0, it’s very similar (but a little smaller and has more than double the battery life). The 5.0 is the device you get with one ($ 199 / year) and the tip subscriptions ($ 239 / year).
The MG is the “Medical Grade” version of the equipment. It is the same size and the same shape as 5.0, with the same sensors, except that it has a metal clasp so that it can take ECG readings. (When you take ECG readings, you touch the clasp with one hand while carrying the device on your other wrist, a bit like the Apple Watch and other ECG compatible laptops.) The MG is delivered with membership at $ 359 / year.
The two devices charge a wireless power pack; You load the power pack via USB-C to your convenience, then when you want to recharge the battery of your Whoop, you drag the pack on the Whoop while you wear it. Only members of advanced and life levels obtain the wireless power pack; Membership at the lowest level is delivered with a wired charger.
What you get with each of the three levels of membership
The three new membership levels are one ($ 199 $ / year), PIC ($ 239 / year) and life ($ 359 / year). One is a stripped subscription, the peak is similar to what Whoop users have currently, and life is a new offer with additional health characteristics. Here is the ventilation:
Whoop One ($ 199 / year)
A is budgetary membership. You get a wired charger instead of the wireless power pack, and a “Coreknit” group, which seems to be a new material that is not as pleasant as the super-KNIT bands offered with the upper levels.
If you retrograde at this level, you will lose some features that Whoop members are currently obtaining: the health monitor (with its VRC readings, the respiratory frequency, the heart rate at rest and the skin temperature) and the stress monitor, which indicates you in real time how much stress you seem to be under.
Whoop Peak ($ 239 / year)
The peak is the most similar to the unique subscription level which was proposed with the 4.0, both in price and in functionalities. If your subscription is renewed without you choosing a level, you will find yourself on the peak.
What do you think so far?
You will also get the Healthspan functionality which tells you your “shell age” and your “rhythm of aging” and gives recommendations to improve these measures.
Whoop Life ($ 359 / year)
Life is high -level membership and is delivered with MG rather than 5.0 equipment. It includes everything in the peak, including the HealthSpan functionality.
With the MG, you can take ECG readings, and this level also has a functionality that claims to estimate your blood pressure. You will have to calibrate it with readings from a blood pressure armband to start using it. This is controversial because the FDA told Whoop that the functionality was illegal, but it remains available in the application for the moment.
What if I have an older device?
The memberships in Whoop still operate with the old device 4.0, and the members with a 4.0 always have access to all that membership in the PIC Offer, including the Healthspan functionality. If your membership is renewed without choosing a level, you will be rolled in the tips of the Pointe.
If you do not already have a Whoop device, do not annoy yourself to get a 4.0. Sometimes people will try to sell or give second -hand versions as if they do you service by giving you a delivery. There is nothing wrong with using a 4.0 if you want to keep another device outside the discharge, but that will not save you money personally. Using a Whoop device is paying Whoop for membership, and you get a 5.0 (or MG) device without starting or renewing membership.
