# Oura Membership: Price & What It Costs (2026)

Oura Membership is a required $5.99/mo subscription on top of the ring (~$349+). Without it the Ring 4's app features are locked. The verified cost and what you get.

Oura Membership is the recurring subscription that unlocks the Oura Ring's app features. It is REQUIRED, not optional: you buy the ring (about $349 and up) and then pay a monthly membership to use the 50-plus metrics, scores, and the AI Oura Advisor. This page covers the verified subscription cost; the ring hardware itself is on the Oura Ring 4 price page.

## Price

- **$5.99/mo (required; ring ~$349+ separate)** (InStock; USD)
- Required Oura Membership, $5.99/month, on top of a ~$349+ ring purchase. Ring app features are locked without it.

The membership is $5.99 a month, required to use the ring's app features after the first month. That is on top of the one-time ring purchase (about $349 and up). DEPLOY records the membership as required because the ring's scores and metrics are locked behind it: the verified-vs-claimed point is that 'buy the ring' is not the whole cost. There is no city or regional variation; the membership price is global.

## Cities served

- United States
- United Kingdom
- European Union
- International

Oura ships and supports the membership internationally (US, UK, EU, and other markets). Unlike the robotaxi services, this is not a city-bounded service: the subscription is the same wherever the ring is sold.

## Status

Oura is at commercial scale and the membership model is well-established. The membership ($5.99/mo) is required to use the Oura Ring 4's app: heart-rate and HRV, blood-oxygen trends, multi-point temperature, sleep and readiness scores, cycle tracking, a VO2 Max estimate, and the AI Oura Advisor across 50-plus metrics. The verified-vs-claimed boundary worth recording: those are wellness metrics, not FDA-cleared medical features. Oura is the device-plus-required-subscription point of the biometric subscription spectrum, distinct from subscription-only Whoop and subscription-free RingConn.

## Is the Oura Membership required?

Yes. After the first month, the Oura Ring's app features (scores, trends, the Advisor) are locked behind the $5.99/mo membership. The ring still records data, but you need the membership to see most of it. So the true cost is the ring (~$349+) plus the ongoing subscription.

## Which smart rings have no subscription?

RingConn is the subscription-free anchor (all standard features free for life). Ultrahuman has no mandatory subscription for core tracking (some premium add-ons are paid). Oura and Whoop are the subscription models. It is a genuine consumer-decision axis: recurring cost vs none.
