New Withings Users Must Pay $99/Year for Apple Health Syncing

Withings iPhoneWithings, the maker of smart scales for measuring body weight, has announced that customers who create an account on October 13, 2026 or later must have a Withings+ subscription for automatic syncing of data to third-party apps, including Apple's Health app. In the U.S., Withings+ costs $99.50 per year.

If you created your account on or before October 12, 2026, automatic syncing to third-party apps remains free. Since this change is tied to the account creation date, existing customers who buy a new Withings scale or other device are unaffected.

For now, until it isn't free.

When I need a new scale, I definitely won’t be looking at Withings anymore.

I'm excused from this change (until the goal-post moves again) but it would appear the $700 I gave them for a scale, $150 I gave them for a HR monitor and $100 I gave them for a thermometer wasn't enough to earn the value of moving data sitting in a SQLite or XML file from one database to another.

I won't be buying another Withings product. Why invest in an ecosystem that is gatekeeping more and more behind a subscription?

... Which, uh... guarantees that existing customers remain happy and loyal -- but also discourages new customers from considering their wares.

Gee, good job... I guess?

Subscription charges are becoming insane. Everyone wants to have an unlimited stream of money coming in and that too not in small numbers.
