# Withings vs Eight Sleep

The clearest difference is update cadence: Eight Sleep at every 3 days against Withings's fortnightly. Eight Sleep also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Withings's advantage is ratings volume (369K vs 18K) and chart position (#62 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Withings sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Eight Sleep sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Eight Sleep holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Withings has 369K ratings behind it against 18K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 24% of Withings's written reviews are positive against 29% of Eight Sleep's.

Withings ships an update fortnightly, Eight Sleep every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
