Omnisio and WHOOP. What actually differs.

The short answer

WHOOP is an annual membership that comes with a wrist-worn device and reports Recovery, Sleep and Strain scores, with more of its feature set unlocked as you move up its three tiers. Omnisio is an annual membership that comes with a wrist-worn band and reports Today's Priority, Recovery, Sleep and Strain every morning, on both of its two tiers.

The core difference is where the extra money goes. WHOOP's higher tiers add measurement: a Health Monitor, a Stress Monitor, and on its top tier ECG readings and blood-pressure insights on a different device. Omnisio's higher tier adds no measurement at all. Everything the band measures is in both memberships; Horizon adds what the band cannot measure — blood-test reports read back in plain language, a written report you can keep — and more history to look back over.

The second difference is about thin data. On a night the band could not read honestly, Omnisio gives no Recovery score and says so, rather than printing a low one. We did not find a first-party WHOOP statement about that case, so this page does not make one on WHOOP's behalf.

The devices

WHOOP's current line-up is two devices: the WHOOP 5.0 and the WHOOP MG, the second described first-party as “The most powerful WHOOP ever, delivering medical-grade Heart Screener technology, at $359/year”. The older WHOOP 4.0 still appears in WHOOP's own compatibility documentation as a supported device. Which one you get is decided by the tier: One and Peak come with a WHOOP 5.0, Life with a WHOOP MG.

Omnisio's line-up is one device. The Omnisio Band is worn on the wrist day and night and read in the app, and it is the same band on both memberships — what differs between Core and Horizon is what the app does with the readings, never the hardware.

WHOOP states a “14+ day battery life” for both current devices. Omnisio publishes a 5–7 day battery for the Band — a real figure, just a shorter one. Omnisio also publishes IP68 water resistance for the Band; no equivalent first-party figure for the current WHOOP devices was read for this page, so there is no row for it.

Nor is there a row for whether either device carries a screen. Omnisio's copy does not state one, the WHOOP pages read for this comparison did not either, and a row filled in from an assumption is worth less than an admitted gap.

What a year buys

Both companies sell the device inside the membership, so the honest way to line them up is by what a year gets you. WHOOP's three tiers and their contents are as listed on WHOOP's own pages on 8 September 2026; Omnisio's two are as listed on this site.

WHOOP One — listed at $199/yr

Sleep, Strain and Recovery insights; personalised coaching; VO2 Max and heart-rate zones; Women's Hormonal Insights; steps and activity monitoring; a haptic alarm; a Natural Cycles integration. Comes with a WHOOP 5.0, a basic wired charger and a CoreKnit band.

WHOOP Peak — listed at $239/yr

Everything in One, plus Healthspan and Pace of Aging, a Health Monitor with health alerts, and a real-time Stress Monitor. Comes with a WHOOP 5.0, a wireless PowerPack and a SuperKnit band.

WHOOP Life — listed at $359/yr

Everything in Peak, plus blood-pressure insights for wellness, a Heart Screener with ECG readings, on-demand AFib detection and priority phone support. Comes with a WHOOP MG, a wireless PowerPack and a SuperKnit Luxe band.

Omnisio Core — $239/yr

Today's Priority, Recovery, Sleep and Strain every morning; Bio-Age and how fast it is moving; Running, Body Lab, Breathwork, Sound Lab and Jet Lag Coach; cycle, pregnancy and postpartum in full; community, food scanning, and your history brought over from another device; one year of history to look back over.

Omnisio Horizon — $299/yr

Everything in Core, plus your Bio-Age history as a whole curve rather than today's figure, blood-test reports read back in plain language, a written report you can keep and take to a clinician, patterns between what you ate and how you woke, and two years of history.

Sleep

WHOOP includes a Sleep Score at every membership tier; that much is on its own comparison table. The exact definition WHOOP uses for Sleep Performance could not be confirmed on a first-party page in the pass behind this article, so it is not restated here — third-party summaries of it exist and are not good enough to publish.

Omnisio's Sleep reading gives you stages, how broken the night was, how long you were actually asleep, and how that sits against your own recent nights. Naps count. A night that cannot be read is reported as unread, not scored low.

That last sentence is the comparison, and it is a disposition rather than a specification. A score assembled out of a thin night is not a low reading of you; it is a reading of nothing, wearing your name — and you would go and change your day because of it.

Recovery, which is not one thing.

Both products have a reading called Recovery, and they are not the same reading.

WHOOP defines Recovery as “a daily measure of how prepared your body is to perform”, calculated each morning as a percentage and colour-coded. WHOOP has also written that Recovery incorporates heart rate variability, resting heart rate, sleep performance and respiratory rate, with blood oxygen and skin temperature also included, and that it produces a recommended optimal daily Strain — going above it described as overreaching, staying below it as restoring. Those statements come from a first-party WHOOP article page-dated 2022. The colour thresholds it gives may no longer match the current app, so they are not reproduced here.

Omnisio's Recovery answers how much you have to give today, in plain words with the reason attached. It does not arrive alone: it sits under Today's Priority — one instruction chosen for the day out of recover, move easy, build, maintain, refuel or downshift, with the reason it was chosen and one thing to do about it. It is read against your own recent weeks, never against an average taken from other people, and Omnisio never shows you where you sit in a field of members.

And there is a difference in what each company publishes, which cuts against us here and is worth saying anyway. WHOOP publishes an input list for its Recovery. Omnisio publishes none, for any reading. What a member gets is what we sell; how it is arrived at is not something we put on a page, here or anywhere else. If being able to read the recipe is part of what you are buying, that is a real reason to buy the other one.

Training, and what the day cost

Both call it Strain and both mean roughly the same thing: what today has taken out of you.

WHOOP's Strain Score is included at every tier. Its numeric scale and the basis usually cited for it are widely repeated elsewhere; the first-party WHOOP page that would have confirmed them was not reachable on the day this was written, so no scale is quoted here. WHOOP names VO2 Max and heart-rate zones from its entry tier upward — Omnisio's site names no VO2 Max reading, and this page will not claim one.

Omnisio's Strain describes what today has cost you so far, updated as it happens, next to the room you had this morning. Omnisio also states what it is not: it describes cost, and it is not evidence that a session was safe. Beside it sits Training Balance — how your recent work is spread across easy aerobic, hard aerobic, anaerobic and strength — which leaves a share empty rather than filling one in when there is not enough to say.

The long arc: WHOOP Age and Bio-Age.

This is the section where it is most tempting for either side to claim the other is doing it wrong. Neither company publishes how it arrives at its number, so neither is in a position to, and this page will not.

WHOOP's is Healthspan, which WHOOP describes as “a powerful new way to quantify your age and slow your Pace of Aging”. Inside it, WHOOP Age is a physiological age — WHOOP states it analyses metrics across sleep, activity, strain and more to calculate it — and Pace of Aging is described as how fast, or slow, your body is changing over time, a dynamic measure reflecting recent habits. WHOOP lists the inputs on that page: sleep consistency, strength training, hours of sleep, heart-rate zones, resting heart rate, lean body mass, VO2 Max and steps. WHOOP says Healthspan was created in partnership with the Buck Institute — that is WHOOP's own description of its own arrangement, and not an independent validation of the reading.

Three conditions WHOOP publishes alongside it change the comparison. Healthspan unlocks only once you log 21 Recoveries in 31 days. WHOOP's own tier table shows it on the Peak and Life columns and not on the entry One column. And WHOOP states it is not available to users under 18 and is “for wellness purposes only and not for medical use”.

Omnisio's is Bio-Age: your Bio-Age, the parts it is built from, and how fast it is moving — marked as still settling for as long as it is, and unmarked the moment it is not. It is in both memberships. What Horizon adds is the whole curve rather than today's figure.

So the two offers differ in shape more than the two readings do. WHOOP puts its longevity feature behind its middle tier and gates it on usage. Omnisio puts the reading in the entry membership and puts the history behind the upper one.

Wearing it, breaking it, sending it back

WHOOP states that memberships include a lifetime warranty and 24/7 member support, with “terms and conditions apply” attached to the warranty, and that members can switch memberships at any time. Memberships are marketed as HSA/FSA eligible in the US. WHOOP also offers a one-month free trial of the Peak membership with a certified pre-owned WHOOP 5.0, a basic charger and a CoreKnit band.

Omnisio's band is included with your initial membership and is not sold separately. Delivery is included in the price. If it stops working it is replaced free and Omnisio pays the shipping both ways — one free replacement in every twelve months, on top of your legal rights over a faulty device. From the day it reaches you, you have 14 days to send everything back without giving a reason: the return is at Omnisio's cost, and everything you paid, delivery included, comes back to you.

Those two are not the same offer and should not be compared as if they were. WHOOP publishes a free trial. Omnisio publishes a withdrawal right — you pay first and get all of it back inside 14 days if you would rather not.

One more asymmetry, in Omnisio's disfavour: Omnisio ships worldwide but opens country by country, the European Union is closed until the product registrations required there are complete, Iran and North Korea are excluded outright as a matter of sanctions, and Omnisio will not give you a delivery date at all.

Phones. This is the row most likely to decide it.

WHOOP requires its app on a compatible Android or iOS device, and lists Google Play Store support as required for the 4.0, 5.0 and MG. On iOS it names iPhone 6s or newer for the 4.0 and 5.0 and iPhone 8 or newer for the MG, with iOS 18 or higher recommended and devices on iOS 15 or earlier no longer compatible. On Android it names OS 11.0 or higher as recommended for the 5.0 and required for the MG, names the device families it supports, and separately lists brands where it says support is not guaranteed because of known connectivity issues.

Omnisio is on the App Store for iPhone today. The Android app is coming to Google Play; there is no date, because Omnisio does not have one it could keep, and there is nothing to download there yet.

So if you are on Android, this is not a preference question. WHOOP runs on your phone today and Omnisio does not. Omnisio says the same thing on its own home page, before you buy, for the same reason: it is the one requirement that cannot be worked around afterwards.

What a year costs, and where you buy it

Both are annual and both include the hardware in the price.

WHOOP's three tiers were listed on WHOOP's own pages on 8 September 2026 at $199, $239 and $359 a year for One, Peak and Life. WHOOP prefixes those figures with “Available at”, which reads as conditional or promotional rather than as a fixed list price — treat them as what was displayed that day, and check the current ones yourself.

Omnisio has two: Core at $239 a year and Horizon at $299 a year, in US dollars, covering the membership, the device and its delivery together. You are shown the exact amount in your own currency before anything is charged.

Where you buy differs, and this catches people. Omnisio's membership is bought in the app, from the App Store: you download Omnisio, choose Core or Horizon, 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 — so the App Store is the route today.

One thing WHOOP's own pages did not settle for us: whether WHOOP hardware can be bought on its own, without a membership. WHOOP's pages bundle hardware into a 12-month membership purchase, and its wording for the top tier is that “Your purchase includes a 12-month membership, WHOOP MG hardware with ECG, a SuperKnit Luxe band, and a Waterproof Wireless PowerPack to charge your device on the go—plus a lifetime warranty and 24/7 support.” The stronger claim that the hardware cannot be bought standalone is repeated widely elsewhere and was not confirmed first-hand, so this page does not make it. Omnisio's own position is stated outright on this site: the Band is not sold separately.

Data — and what this page will not say about it.

Omnisio's position is published, and the first part of it you can check yourself in a browser inspector right now. This website sets no cookies at all: no analytics script, no advertising pixel, no tracker on any page. What stays in your browser is the language you picked, and it identifies nobody — which is why you have never been asked to accept anything here.

Inside the app, the AI features are the only place anything leaves for an outside service, and they stay off until you switch them on, separately and reversibly. Nothing you record is used to train anything. Primary data centres are in Türkiye and the European Union, encrypted in transit and at rest. On either membership you can export everything you have or delete the account from inside the app, and the export is never trimmed to your tier: the membership limits how far back the app looks, not what you own.

About WHOOP's data handling, this page says nothing at all. No first-party WHOOP statement on it was read in the pass behind this article, and an unsourced privacy claim about somebody else's product is exactly the thing we would refuse to let anyone publish about ours. WHOOP's own site is the place to read WHOOP's policy.

Which one to choose

Not which is better. Which fits.

• Choose WHOOP if you are on Android today; if you want ECG readings, on-demand AFib detection or blood-pressure insights for wellness and you are in a country and an age bracket where WHOOP offers them; if a published 14+ day battery figure is the specification you buy on; if WHOOP's blood-biomarker testing programme is of use to you — it is offered in the United States only, needs an active membership, is 18+, and is not available in every state; or if you want an entry tier under $200 a year.
• Choose Omnisio if you are on iPhone; if you want one instruction each morning rather than a set of numbers to interpret; if you would rather be told the night could not be read than be shown a score built out of it; if you want the longevity reading in the entry membership rather than the middle tier, with no usage gate on it; if you want cycle, pregnancy and postpartum handled in full and never as an upsell; or if a site with no tracker on it and an app whose AI features are off until you turn them on is genuinely part of what you are shopping for.
• Choose neither yet if what you actually want is a device that will tell you whether something is medically wrong. Neither of these is that. WHOOP attaches its own wellness-only, age-gated and region-gated conditions to its health features. Omnisio holds no medical device clearance at all, and does not screen for heart-rhythm problems, does not measure blood pressure and does not detect breathing disorders in sleep.

What Omnisio does not do

A comparison that names no real tradeoff is an advertisement with a table in it. These are ours, and every one of them is derived from what this site does and does not already say.

• No Android app yet. It is coming to Google Play and there is no date.
• No ECG, no rhythm screening, no blood-pressure reading, no detection of breathing disorders in sleep — and no FDA, CE-MDR or TITCK medical device clearance for the app or the devices used with it.
• A shorter battery figure than WHOOP's, not an absent one. Omnisio publishes 5–7 days for the Band against WHOOP's 14+.
• No VO2 Max reading named anywhere on the site.
• No shipping into the European Union yet, two countries excluded outright by sanctions, and no delivery date given anywhere.
• No free trial. There is a 14-day withdrawal right after delivery instead, which is a different offer.
• No method published for any reading. Deliberate — and still a limitation, if reading the recipe is part of what you buy.
• Three things named on this site that you cannot have today: Morning Calibration is not switched on and has no date; the family plan is not open for purchase; and the Omnisio Ring has no price, is not for sale, and is part of no membership.
• No member counts, no ratings and no testimonials, anywhere on this site. If a long public record is what you weigh a wearable by, that is a real reason to choose differently, and we are not going to manufacture one to close the gap.

Where the WHOOP facts came from

Every WHOOP statement above was read from these pages, WHOOP's own, on 8 September 2026.

• Membership and tier comparison — the three tiers and their prices, what each includes, the 14+ day battery, the trial, HSA/FSA eligibility, and the conditions WHOOP attaches to ECG, irregular-rhythm notifications, blood-pressure insights and hormonal insights.
• WHOOP Life — the WHOOP MG description, what the top-tier purchase includes, and the tier-by-tier table.
• Healthspan — Healthspan, WHOOP Age and Pace of Aging, the input list, the unlock condition and the wellness-only, 18+ restriction.
• App minimum software requirements — the current device line-up, and the iOS and Android requirements.
• Regional feature availability — that ECG and irregular-rhythm notifications are regulated features whose availability depends on approval country by country.
• How WHOOP Recovery works — WHOOP's own definition of Recovery. Page-dated 2022, which is why the thresholds on it are described here and not repeated.

Verified on 8 September 2026

Wearable pricing, tier names, hardware and feature gating move often, and WHOOP's own price strings were prefixed “Available at”, which is not the same as a list price. Before you decide anything on the strength of this page, check WHOOP's current site. If something here has gone stale, it is stale, and we would rather you found that out from them than from us.

Six things we could not confirm at first hand and therefore left out, so the holes do not look accidental: WHOOP's Strain scale and the basis usually cited for it; the exact definition WHOOP uses for Sleep Performance; whether WHOOP hardware can be bought without a membership; the current Recovery colour thresholds, whose only first-party source is page-dated 2022; whether monthly rather than annual billing exists; and anything at all about WHOOP's data handling. Non-US pricing was not checked either — every WHOOP figure above is the US annual one.

Omnisio's side of this page carries no date qualification of that kind, for a duller reason: every claim on it is already published elsewhere on this site, and it changes here on the day the product does.
