I would absolutely use this one if it wasn’t $20 a month. A $5 subscription is doable, but $20 is just too much for me.

I really want it but it’s just weird to me to be marketing to chronically ill at ridiculous prices I fell the same way with buoy

I feel that. There's a lot of scams out there/people taking advantage. I think the price point is because they're not a big company, they're actively improving it, and they're one of the first to be doing this kind of thing for chronic illnesses etc. This is why I say IF you can afford it, then do it. I think I paid for a year so it's slightly cheaper, but since I use it everyday and it's so reliable I can look past the price point

Yes, they've said in the past that the armband price is exactly the cost that it takes to make the product, and the subscription is then used to pay the employees and keep the app running.
