Do smart rings need a subscription?

Short answer: no. The Boreal Ring does not require a monthly subscription to use. The core Boreal app is free, with your own data and everyday wellness insights built in.

What you get for free

The everyday features are included in the free Boreal app: your sleep score and stages, resting heart rate and heart-rate variability trends, blood-oxygen awareness, skin-temperature trends, a daily stress indicator, steps and activity, and guided breathing. You can see your own numbers and trends over time without paying a monthly fee to unlock them.

What premium will be

As the Boreal app grows, some premium features and add-ons will be offered for people who want more, such as deeper trends and longer history. The core app stays free. Pricing for the ring and for any premium features will be shared before launch.

Why this matters

Some smart rings charge a recurring membership just to see your own data in their app. The Boreal Ring is built so the everyday insights are yours in the free app, with premium kept optional.
