Most people searching this want one of two different things, and they need opposite answers.
If you want to stop paying for WHOOP
Then you want a different band, and this page is not going to pretend otherwise. Beacon is an app, not hardware. It does not measure your HRV; it reads whatever does.
If you want more out of the data you already collect
Then you may not need to replace anything. Beacon connects to WHOOP directly and reads your recovery, sleep stages, strain and workouts — 90 days of history on connect, refreshed roughly every fifteen minutes.
What Beacon adds is the part after the number: your recovery feeds a training plan that adapts, a coach that can explain why today looks the way it does, and your nutrition and habits in the same place. The strap keeps doing what it is good at.

If you are switching bands anyway
Beacon also connects to Oura and Withings directly, and reads Apple Watch, Garmin, Fitbit, Coros, Polar, Suunto and others through Apple Health. Whatever you land on, the coaching does not have to change with it.
Before you switch to Beacon
- iPhone only. No Android app, no iPad app.
- No free tier and no trial. Beacon Premium is $5.99 a week, $19.99 a month or $119.99 a year.
- Disconnecting WHOOP deletes the WHOOP data Beacon holds — a deliberate, conservative reading of WHOOP's terms.
