If you’re a new user of Withings’ fitness-tracking smartwatches or smart scales and want to sync and access your health data through third party apps like Apple Health or Google Health it’s now going to cost you.

According to a discussion on Withings’ support forums spotted by MacRumors, new Withings accounts created from October 13th, 2026, and onwards will require a Withings Plus subscription to use the “automatic sync to third-party apps” feature. 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.
