Withings says new customers must pay about $100 per year to sync health data from its smart scales and wearables to third-party services such as Apple Health. The change, reported by multiple outlets, applies to accounts created on or after October 13, 2026, when automatic syncing is tied to a Withings+ subscription.
Outlets cite Withings forum discussions indicating that customers who create an account after that date must hold Withings+ to view scale data inside Apple’s default Health app (and other third-party apps, such as Google Health). MacRumors and AppleInsider News report the feature remains free for existing users, and the policy is based on account creation date rather than the purchase date of a device. Prices cited vary slightly by source and region, with the U.S. cost reported around $99.50 per year.
While the reports focus on Apple Health integration, the described paywall covers broader third-party syncing. Hacker News links to the same underlying discussion and summarizes the community reaction to the new subscription requirement for new accounts.
