The Hume Band 2.0 is sold as the band with no subscription, and that is true as far as it goes. But there is an optional subscription, there are three different prices for the band depending on which page you land on, and there is an extended warranty at checkout. None of it is hidden, exactly. It is just spread across several pages. This is all of it in one place: what you pay on day one, what you might pay each month, and what three years costs next to a Whoop or an Oura.
Disclosure: Fitcoin is our own app. It reads data from these devices through Apple Health and Health Connect, so we have an interest in people wearing something, but we sell no hardware, use no affiliate links and earn nothing if you buy. Prices here are the ones published by the brand or reported by named outlets, checked on November 10, 2026. Deals move; confirm the figure at checkout.
The short version
The Hume Band 2.0 has three prices. The list price on Hume's product page is $356. The price on Hume's own sale pages, which is the one almost everybody pays, is $249. And with the creator and review-site codes that circulate, it has been seen at about $199. The app is free. Hume Plus, the optional subscription, is $8.99 a month or $99.99 a year, and you do not need it to use the band or see your data.
Why there are three prices
Hume sells direct, and it sells the way a lot of direct brands do: a high list price that few people see, a permanent sale price, and a further cut handed to affiliates to pass on. The $356 figure sits on the standard product page. The $249 figure is on the landing pages that Hume's adverts and most reviews link to, and it is the price every major review quotes. One reviewer who tracked it found $199.25 through an affiliate link in June, and several creators advertise roughly $199 with their code.
In practice that means $249 is the real price and $199 is the real discount. If you are about to pay $356, stop and search for the band's own sale page. And if someone presents $249 as a limited offer, it is not; it has been the widely quoted price since the 2.0 launched in May.
What Hume Plus adds, and whether to pay for it
Hume's own wording is that no subscription is required to use the band or access your raw data, and the free app includes the headline material: sleep, recovery, blood pressure trends and the metabolic and longevity scores. Hume Plus, which the App Store also lists as Hume Premium, adds AI coaching, weekly reports and guided content. Reviewers who have worn the band for weeks have mostly said the same thing, that they did not miss it.
| Free app | Hume Plus | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $0 | $8.99 a month or $99.99 a year |
| Sleep, recovery, HRV | Yes | Yes |
| Blood pressure trends | Yes | Yes |
| Longevity and metabolic scores | Yes | Yes |
| AI coaching and action plans | No | Yes |
| Weekly personalised reports | No | Yes |
Our advice is to buy the band, use the free app for the full 45 days, and only then decide. Our Hume Band 2.0 review goes through what the scores are worth, and how accurate the blood pressure trends are is its own question.
Three years of ownership, against the rivals
This is the argument for Hume in one picture, and also the catch. Without Plus it is the cheapest serious band to own. With Plus it costs about what a Whoop does, and Whoop is the better training tool. We set that choice out in Whoop vs Hume Band; for sleep and a ring instead of a strap there is Hume Band vs Oura Ring 5, and for a band at less than half the price, Hume Band vs Fitbit Air.
Ways to pay less
- Use a code. The gap between $249 and about $199 is the single biggest saving available, and it is there most of the year.
- HSA or FSA. Hume says the band is eligible in the US, which means paying from pre-tax money if your plan administrator agrees.
- Instalments. 18 payments of $13.84 is the same $249 spread out. Check the provider's terms for interest before choosing it.
- Skip the extended warranty at first. One year is included. Hume sells extensions of up to ten years; decide after you know you will keep wearing it.
Method: Checked November 10, 2026. Prices are from Hume Health's product and landing pages as quoted in reviews by Wareable, Cybernews and SensAI between June and October 2026 ($356 list, $249 sale, 18 payments of $13.84, about $199.25 with affiliate links), Hume's published FAQ on subscriptions, and the App Store's listing of the yearly plan at $99.99. The 45-day guarantee, warranty terms and HSA and FSA eligibility are Hume's own statements. We have not bought the band at each price point. Whoop and Oura three-year totals are from our own reviews.
