Withings now charges $100 a year for data syncing

Withings has announced that starting October 13, 2026, new users of its health-tracking devices, such as smartwatches and scales, will need to subscribe to Withings Plus to sync their data with third-party applications like Apple Health or Google Health. This service will cost $9.95 per month or $99.50 per year, but includes a one-month free trial for users to evaluate the functionality.

## Why it matters This change means that, from the specified date, new users will not be able to access one of the most valued features of Withings devices without an additional cost. This could influence potential buyers' decisions, especially those looking to integrate their health data into a broader ecosystem.

## What we know The Withings Plus subscription will be mandatory for new users who wish to sync their health data with other apps. This move seems designed to monetize a service that was previously free for users.

## What remains unclear It has not yet been confirmed whether current users will be able to continue accessing this feature without additional costs or if they will also be affected by this change in the future. Additionally, it has not been detailed whether there will be more exclusive features for Withings Plus subscribers.
