# Snap Spectacles 5: Price, Availability & Status (2026)

Snap Spectacles 5 are developer-only AR glasses ($99/month, US-only, not retail) with genuine OpenAI + Gemini AI. No consumer price. The honest status.

## Price

_No verified price on record._

There is no consumer purchase price. Spectacles 5 are distributed developer-only as a $99-per-month subscription with a one-year commitment, US-only, not retail, so DEPLOY records zero consumer price points. A next-generation consumer device, 'Specs', is targeted for 2026 but has not shipped.

## Availability

_Status: internal-only_

Spectacles 5 are not a consumer product: they are available only to Snap AR developers (US-only) on a $99/month, one-year subscription, not at retail. DEPLOY records pilot maturity.

## Status

Snap's Spectacles 5 are standalone AR glasses (Snap OS, dual see-through waveguide displays, hand-tracking and voice, four cameras, ~46-degree field of view, ~45-minute runtime), the AR-first corner of the wearable-AI cohort, distinct from the capture-first recorders (Plaud, Omi) and the assistant-first camera glasses (Meta Ray-Ban, Rokid). The AI is genuine: multimodal Lenses and a 'My AI' assistant powered by OpenAI and Google's Gemini. What it is not is a consumer product: distribution is developer-only, US-only, on a $99/month subscription.
