Ditch Whoop?
Cancel your $149/year membership in minutes through the web app, but beware of $110 restocking fees if you return your device late.
Whoop users can cancel their membership through the company's web app at app.whoop.com. This may be a consideration for some users due to the cost and limited functionality without a subscription. The Whoop band is virtually useless without an active membership, with features like recovery insights, sleep tracking, and VO2 max metrics only available to paying members.
The cancellation process varies depending on the type of membership and payment plan. To cancel a subscription, users must visit the company's web app and head to their account dashboard, where they can click into the Membership tab and select 'Cancel Your Membership' to start the process.
New owners can qualify for a full refund and hardware return if they cancel within the first 30 days of receiving their device. However, a restocking fee of $110 applies if the device is not returned within a week of initiating the return process.
Earlier this month, Whoop removed the necessary subscription for its Advanced Labs blood-testing health screenings, which are now available to members without a band or a subscription. Each test still starts at about $70. This change may affect users' decisions to maintain their Whoop membership, especially considering the costs and limited functionality without a subscription.
## Why it matters The decision to cancel a Whoop membership may be influenced by the various costs associated with the service. With the lowest tier of Whoop membership, Whoop One, costing at least $149 a year, users may be looking for alternative options that offer similar features without the ongoing fee. Additionally, the limited functionality of the Whoop band without an active membership may lead users to consider canceling their subscription and exploring other options.
