How to Cancel WHOOP in 2026 — The $30/Month Fitness Band That Doesn't Tell Time

Last updated: February 2026 • Difficulty: Medium

WHOOP Pricing

• Annual ($239/year): ~$20/month — band "included" (it's a rental)
• 24-month ($199/year): ~$16.60/month with 2-year commitment
• Monthly ($30/month): Flexibility premium
• Band hardware: "Free" with subscription — you return it when you cancel (or keep it as a dead device)
• Accessories: $49-129 for different bands, bicep straps, etc. — useless without subscription

How to Cancel

1. Log in to app.whoop.com or open the WHOOP app
2. Go to Account → Membership → Cancel Membership
3. Complete the cancellation flow (they'll offer discounts and pauses)
4. If on an annual plan: cancellation takes effect at end of current term
5. ⚠️ If on a 24-month commitment: you may owe remaining months (check your agreement)
6. You do NOT need to return the band — it just won't work anymore

Retention Offers to Expect

• 1-2 months free: Common first offer
• Discounted annual rate: They may offer $100-150/year instead of $239
• "Pause your membership": Up to 3 months pause
• If you want the discount, say you're canceling due to cost — they almost always counter-offer

Better Alternatives (Zero Subscription)

• Apple Watch ($249-399, $0/month): Tracks HRV, sleep stages, blood oxygen, ECG, GPS, workout detection — AND tells time. No subscription ever.
• Garmin Venu 3 ($350-450, $0/month): Best-in-class sleep tracking, HRV, Body Battery (WHOOP's strain equivalent), GPS, 14-day battery
• Samsung Galaxy Watch ($250-350, $0/month): Sleep coaching, body composition, HRV, works with Android
• Oura Ring ($299-549 + $72/year): Best sleep tracking if you want ring form factor — cheaper than WHOOP but still has a subscription
• Amazfit ($100-200, $0/month): Budget option with sleep, HRV, SpO2, and 14-day battery
