The subscription costs $9.95 per month or $99.50 per year but Withings’ devices come with a free one month trial that includes the option to sync their data to third-party apps. When the trial is over the syncing is paused but the data in those apps isn’t deleted.Existing users who already have a Withings account created on or before October 12th, 2026, will continue to have access to automatic third-party app syncing for free, according to official comments shared by a member of Withings’ support team.
And because the feature is tied to an existing users’ account and not a specific device, the third-party syncing will continue to be available without a subscription if they buy and register new watches, scales, or other Withings hardware.Follow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Andrew LiszewskiGadgetsHealthNewsScienceTechMost PopularThe Tesla Roadster could have stayed vaporwareAs a TV enthusiast, I was hoping for more from the Apple TV 4KThe best feature of Apple’s HomeView might be its simplicityHoney, Xbox shrunk its controllerThe Ocarina of Time remake feels remarkably modern — and surprisingly terrifyingAdvertiser Content FromThis is the title for the native ad
