Compare · Omnisio vs Fitbit
Omnisio vs Fitbit. Fitbit is now Google Health. Here is what that changes.
If you searched for Fitbit, you are in the right place — but the name on the app has changed. Since 19 May 2026 the Fitbit app is the Google Health app, Fitbit accounts have moved to Google Accounts, and the trackers are sold by Google as Google Fitbit Air, Google Fitbit Edge and the rest of the range. This page compares Omnisio with what Google sells today, not with the Fitbit of a few years ago.
Google's ecosystem is broader than Omnisio's, and it runs on Android as well as iPhone. This page says that up front, and then goes reading by reading.

The short answer and what changed with the name.
Fitbit has not disappeared; it has been folded into Google. Google states that from 19 May 2026 the Fitbit app became the Google Health app, and Fitbit's paid subscription was renamed at the same time as a paid Google Health subscription. Google also states that after that date a Fitbit account no longer gives access: it has to be moved to a Google Account, a move Google says cannot be undone. The hardware keeps the Fitbit name under Google's — Google Fitbit Air, Google Fitbit Edge, Fitbit Charge 6, Inspire 3, Versa 4 and Sense 2 — alongside the Google Pixel Watch.
The difference that decides most purchases is structural. With Google you buy a device, use the free Google Health app, and can add a paid subscription on top — the one that carries Google Health Coach, Google's AI coach. With Omnisio the band is not sold on its own at all: it comes with an annual membership, bought in the iPhone app.
And one difference is not close. Google's app and its Fitbit trackers run on Android and on iPhone. Omnisio runs on iPhone today.
On the names. Fitbit, Google, Google Health, Google Fitbit Air, Google Fitbit Edge and Pixel Watch are trademarks of Google LLC and are used here only to identify the products being compared. Omnisio is not affiliated with Google or Fitbit, not endorsed by either and not a partner of either. Every Google statement on this page is taken from Google's own published pages — its help center, its blog and the Google Store — listed at the bottom with the date they were read.
Which device, because Google sells several.
Omnisio is one band. Google sells a range, and two of its trackers are the ones most people comparing with Omnisio will look at first.
Google Fitbit Air is screenless. Google's help center puts it plainly: instead of a screen, the Air has a status light. Google's launch post calls it its smallest and most affordable tracker, made to sit silently on the wrist. Google Fitbit Edge, announced on 12 October 2026, goes the other way — Google describes a Hybrid OLED display with glanceable tiles and built-in GPS, with retail sales from 27 October. Above both sit the Pixel Watch line and the existing Fitbit Charge, Inspire, Versa and Sense trackers.
Omnisio does not describe its Band as screen-free, so neither does this page. What Omnisio publishes is that the Band is worn day and night and read in the app, and that the one thing it does on the wrist is a silent alarm.
- Google Fitbit Air, as Google publishes it
- No screen; a status light instead. From $99.99 on Google's US store, with a three-month offer of Google's paid subscription. Up to a week of battery on Google's figure, which Google footnotes as approximate and possibly lower in use. Works with most phones on Android 11 or later and iOS 16.4 or later. Google lists steps, distance, cardio load, sleep stages, heart rate, heart-rate variability, blood oxygen during sleep, skin temperature variation and irregular rhythm notifications.
- Google Fitbit Edge, as Google publishes it
- A Hybrid OLED display, built-in GPS, up to seven days of battery on Google's approximate figure, and a 50-metre water rating that Google's own footnote says does not make it waterproof. From $179.99 on Google's US store, on pre-order, with retail from 27 October 2026.
- Omnisio Band, as Omnisio publishes it
- Worn on the wrist day and night and read in the app. It measures heart rate, heart-rate variability, blood oxygen, skin temperature, respiratory rate, sleep and its stages, and steps, distance and calories, and it carries a silent alarm. Water resistant to IP68, with a published 5–7 day battery. Skin temperature is a wrist reading, not a core temperature and not a fever reading. No published dimensions, weight or processor.
What each one gives you in a day
Google's own feature table for the free Google Health app, used with a Fitbit device or Pixel Watch, lists steps, calories, distance, cardio load, readiness and exercise sessions; a Sleep Score with duration, schedule, consistency and stages; heart rate, heart-rate variability, breathing rate, skin temperature, blood oxygen, weight and glucose levels; the safety alerts Google groups as Health Guardian; meal, water and cycle logging; medical records; and leaderboards and app syncing. Google's paid subscription adds Google Health Coach — personal plans, daily guidance, detailed sleep insights, nutrition and cycle-aware coaching — and a video library.
Omnisio's published morning: Today's Priority, Recovery, Sleep and Strain, every day, on both memberships — with Body Energy, Body Impact and Training Balance beside them, and Bio-Age carrying the long view. Around those sit Running, Body Lab, Breathwork & Rest, Sound Lab, Jet Lag Coach, community, food logged by camera, and cycle, pregnancy and postpartum.
The honest difference in shape: Google gives you a broad set of readings for free and sells the coaching on top. Omnisio sells one membership in which the reading and the instruction arrive together. Today's Priority is one instruction for the day — recover, move easy, build, maintain, refuel or downshift — with the reason attached, and you are free to overrule it. Google's coach also gives daily guidance, on the paid subscription. If what you mostly want is the numbers rather than the advice, Google's free app covers more ground than Omnisio does.
Sleep
Google describes its Sleep Score as meant to capture, in a single number, how well you slept overall. Google names six things it draws on — sleep duration, time to sound sleep, sound sleep, restlessness, full awakenings and interruptions — and bands the result as Excellent, Good, Fair or Poor. Stages are Light, Deep and REM, on Fitbit devices and Pixel Watches with heart-rate tracking. The basic score is free; Google says additional sleep insights and chatting with the sleep coach need its paid subscription.
Google has also removed things that older Fitbit reviews still mention. On Google's own list of changes, Sleep Profile and the monthly sleep animals, Estimated Oxygen Variation and Snore Detection are no longer available.
Omnisio's Sleep gives stages, how broken the night was, how long you were actually asleep, and how that sits against your own recent nights. Naps count. On a night the band could not read properly, Omnisio reports the night as unread and prints no score. What Google's app does with a thin night is not described on the Google pages this comparison was built from, so this page does not guess.
Readiness and recovery, and which part is free.
Google's readiness score is, in Google's words, a daily snapshot of your body's recovery status. Google states that it combines heart-rate variability, recent sleep and resting heart rate, and sorts the day into high, moderate or low readiness. Google's own store page lists readiness among the features of the free app; what the paid subscription adds, on Google's readiness page, is a coach that proactively advises adjustments to your training based on the score.
For stress, Google's app shows Resilience — which Google says was previously called the stress management score — rated Optimal, Balanced or Low, and, on Pixel Watch 2 and later and the Fitbit Sense line, Body responses.
Omnisio's Recovery answers a narrower question: how much you have to give today. It is read against your own recent weeks and never against an average taken from other people, and on a night the band could not read honestly you get no score at all — the app says so rather than printing a low one.
Neither is a medical reading, and both companies say so themselves. Google's footnotes for Fitbit Air state that it is not intended for medical purposes. Omnisio is a wellness product for general lifestyle use; neither the app nor the devices used with it hold FDA, CE-MDR or TITCK medical device clearance, and nothing in it is intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Training and activity
Google tracks cardio load and exercise sessions in the free app, and the paid subscription adds Google Health Coach's adaptive weekly plans and workouts. On 12 October 2026 Google announced that automatic activity detection on Fitbit Air, Fitbit Edge and Pixel Watch 3 to 5 would extend to more than 100 activities, rolling out later that month. Fitbit Edge adds a display and built-in GPS on the wrist; the Pixel Watch line is a full smartwatch.
Omnisio reports Strain — what today has cost you so far, next to the room you had this morning — and is explicit that it describes a cost, not evidence that a session was safe. Training Balance shows how recent work is spread across easy aerobic, hard aerobic, anaerobic and strength, and leaves a share empty rather than inventing one. Running covers outdoor and treadmill with a live map, pace, splits, audio cues and heart rate from the band. Body Lab is a guided catalogue with a muscle map, across twelve sports.
On breadth, Google is ahead. More than 100 detected activities on Google's announcement, a tracker with GPS and a full smartwatch line, against twelve sports in Body Lab. If you want a device that recognises an unusual sport by itself, that gap is real and it is not in Omnisio's favour.
The long view, where the two do not line up.
Omnisio's Bio-Age is the one reading on the morning screen that is not about today: your Bio-Age, the parts it is built from, and how fast it is moving. Core carries one year of history; Horizon carries two, and shows the whole Bio-Age curve.
Google's long view runs through different things. Its free app gathers medical records — lab results, medications, allergies — in one place, and on 12 October 2026 Google announced Health Guardian blood-pressure trends and insulin-resistance trends for paid subscribers on Fitbit Air and Fitbit Edge, rolling out later that month. Google's own footnotes describe those trends as general wellness information, not a pre-screening tool and not medical advice.
No biological-age figure appears on the Google pages read for this comparison. That is not proof Google has nothing like it — only that it is not what Google publishes. If a multi-year read of how you are ageing is what you are shopping for, these two are not competing for the same purchase.
Wearing it
If no screen is the point, Fitbit Air is Google's answer: a status light instead of a display, made on Google's description to be worn through work, workouts and sleep. Fitbit Edge and the Pixel Watch line are the opposite choice, with a display on the wrist. Battery differs widely across the range on Google's own figures: up to a week for Air, up to seven days for Edge, and up to 30 or 40 hours for Pixel Watch 5 depending on size.
Omnisio's Band is worn day and night and read in the app, in four finishes. It is water resistant to IP68, Omnisio publishes a 5–7 day battery, and the one thing it does on the wrist is a silent alarm.
Neither Fitbit Air nor the Omnisio Band is something you operate during the day. The real question is whether you want something on your wrist to look at. If you do, Google sells that, and Omnisio does not claim to.
Which phone you need
Google's Health app needs Android 11 or later or iOS 16.4 or later, from Google Play or the App Store, and Fitbit Air and Fitbit Edge work with both. Pixel Watch 5 is different: Google states it works with phones on Android 12 or newer, and names no iPhone support — so on an iPhone, Google's option is a Fitbit tracker rather than a Pixel Watch.
Omnisio is on the App Store for iPhone today. There is no public Google Play listing yet, so there is nothing to download on Android, and we are not naming a date.
So if you carry an Android phone this is not a close call: Google supports you, and Omnisio cannot today. Settle this before anything else on this page — it is the one requirement that cannot be worked around afterwards.
What you pay, and for what.
Google: buy the device, then decide whether to subscribe. On Google's US store on 17 October 2026: Fitbit Air from $99.99, Fitbit Inspire 3 $99.95, Fitbit Charge 6 $159.95, Fitbit Edge from $179.99 on pre-order, Fitbit Versa 4 $199.95, and Pixel Watch 5 from $399.99. The Google Health app is free. Google's paid subscription is shown on Google's store from $9.99 a month, and Google's May 2026 announcement gave $99 a year. Google states the subscription requires a Fitbit device or Pixel Watch, is for people aged 18 and over in listed countries, and is included at no extra cost with certain Google AI plans. Fitbit Air, Fitbit Edge and Pixel Watch 5 each come with a three-month offer of it, which Google says renews at $9.99 a month.
Omnisio: one annual membership, with the band inside it. Core is $239 a year and Horizon is $299 a year. The band is not sold separately at any price; delivery is included; and it is replaced free while the membership runs — one free replacement in every twelve months, on top of your legal rights over a faulty device. Prices are in US dollars and you are shown the exact amount in your own currency before anything is charged.
Where you buy it matters. An Omnisio membership is bought in the iPhone app, through the App Store: download Omnisio, choose Core or Horizon there, and the band ships to you. The web shop on this site is not taking orders at the moment — it shows the collection, and nothing on that page can be bought. You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind, with the return at Omnisio's cost and everything you paid, delivery included, refunded.
The arithmetic, since you will do it anyway: a Fitbit Air at $99.99 with Google's free app costs nothing more after the purchase. Omnisio Core is $239 every year. If ongoing cost decides it, Google's free tier is the cheaper answer and this page is not going to argue otherwise. Add Google's paid subscription and the comparison becomes a device plus a monthly or yearly fee against one annual membership — check both prices where you live.
Privacy, and what each company says about it
Google's store page for its paid subscription states: “Google promises to keep your data private. It's all for you, not for ads.” The same page states that you can delete or export your health data at any time from the Google Health app. Since 19 May 2026 that data sits behind a Google Account, which Google now requires.
Omnisio's published position: nothing sold, nothing rented, nothing used for advertising and nothing entered into a marketing profile. This website sets no cookies at all — no analytics script, no advertising pixel, no tracker on any page — which is the one claim on either side you can verify yourself, right now, in your own developer tools. Inside the app, the AI features are the only place anything leaves for an outside service, and they are off until you switch them on. Primary data centres in Türkiye and the European Union, encrypted in transit and at rest. On either membership you can export everything or delete the account from inside the app, and the export is never trimmed to your tier.
On the question most people are asking, both companies state that your health data is not used for advertising. The more useful difference is where the account lives: in a Google Account, or in a separate account with a company whose website sets no cookies. Which of those you prefer is yours to judge, not ours.
Which one should you choose
The useful version of this section is the one that sends some readers to Google. Here it is.
- Google's Fitbit range, if
- you are on Android today; or you want to own the device outright and pay nothing more — Fitbit Air with the free Google Health app does exactly that; or you want a screen on your wrist, GPS on a tracker, or a full smartwatch; or you want a free app with a broad set of readings and the option to add coaching later; or you are buying from inside the European Union, where Omnisio is not shipping yet; or your history already lives in a Fitbit or Google Health account.
- Omnisio, if
- you are on iPhone and want the day decided rather than described — one instruction with the reason attached, which you can overrule; or you want a reading withheld rather than guessed at on a night that could not be read; or you want a Bio-Age view sitting beside the daily one; or you would rather have a band that is replaced while you are a member than one you buy again.
- Neither, if
- you are shopping for something that will tell you whether you are ill. Google's own footnotes say its trackers are not intended for medical purposes, and Omnisio says the same about itself.
One practical point, and it goes against Omnisio. Your Fitbit or Google Health history does not come across. Omnisio reads the official export files from WHOOP, Oura, Garmin and Apple Health — Google Health is not on that list. Google mentions an Apple Health integration, but that route into Omnisio has not been tested end to end here, and this page is not going to imply that it works.
Where Omnisio is the weaker choice
These are real, and the first two are not small.
- Android. Omnisio is on the App Store for iPhone today. There is no public Google Play listing yet, so there is nothing to download on Android, and we are not naming a date. Google's app and its Fitbit trackers support both.
- A smaller ecosystem. Google sells a range from a screenless tracker to a full smartwatch, a free app, medical-record import and partner integrations. Omnisio is one band and one app.
- No way to buy the hardware and be done. The Omnisio Band only exists inside an annual membership. A Fitbit Air with the free app has no ongoing cost.
- No full public spec sheet. Omnisio publishes what the Band measures, IP68 and a 5–7 day battery — no dimensions, no weight, no processor.
- The European Union is closed. Omnisio opens country by country; the European Union is closed until the product registrations required there are complete, and Iran and North Korea are excluded outright under sanctions. Omnisio also does not give a delivery date.
- Twelve sports in Body Lab, against Google's announced automatic detection of more than 100 activities.
- The long view is on the larger membership. Two years of history and the whole Bio-Age curve are Horizon, at $299 a year.
Where these facts come from
Every Google statement above was read from Google's own published pages on 17 October 2026, and is Google's wording or a plain report of it. Google Store pages were read as displayed in the United States. Every Omnisio claim is already published on this site, and the pages carrying it are linked beside this one.

Google renamed its app and its subscription this year and launched new trackers in May and in October, so this comparison moves faster than most. Check Google's own store for the price and availability where you live before deciding anything on the strength of a number here. The prices above are the ones Google's US store displayed on that day, and Omnisio's own pages show the membership price in your currency.
Some things were deliberately left out because they could not be confirmed first-hand: the yearly price of Google's subscription as shown on Google's store today, Fitbit Air's water rating and full specifications, prices outside the United States, and whether the features Google announced on 12 October have reached every device. Those are gaps in what we could verify, not claims about Google's products, and they are not being filled in from memory.
There is also something this page has not told you about either product: how any of these readings is arrived at. That is not an oversight on Omnisio's side. What a member gets is what is sold; how it is produced is not something we publish, here or anywhere else.
