The smart ring Oura sued out of the US, redesigned and back: the Ring Pro keeps the no-subscription model and adds a 15-day battery.
Ultrahuman is the no-subscription answer to Oura, and it just survived a near-death experience in its biggest market. After Oura won an ITC patent case, Ultrahuman's Ring AIR was blocked from US import in 2025. The company redesigned the hardware, cleared US Customs, and reopened US pre-orders in March 2026 as the Ring Pro, with shipping from June 2026.
The Ring Pro matches Oura on the fundamentals (sleep stages, HRV, body temperature, recovery) and pulls ahead on two things buyers feel daily: a 15-day battery versus Oura's roughly week-long charge, and no membership. Where Oura charges about $70 a year to unlock its own data, the Ring Pro is a one-time purchase with lifelong app and data access.
Where Ultrahuman is still behind: a shorter peer-reviewed validation track record and less per-user history than Oura's multi-year base. For a new buyer who wants ring-form tracking without a subscription bill, none of that is disqualifying, and the comeback hardware is the strongest version yet.
Buyers who want ring-form sleep, HRV, and recovery tracking with no subscription and a long 15-day battery, now that the Ring Pro is US-available.
You already have years of Oura history you do not want to leave, or you want the longest peer-reviewed validation record (Oura).

Ultrahuman Ring Pro - buyer FAQ
Ultrahuman Ring Pro vs Oura, which one?
The Ring Pro is the no-subscription Oura alternative: similar sleep, HRV, and temperature tracking in a titanium ring, but a one-time purchase with no $70/yr membership, plus a longer 15-day battery. Oura still has the deeper peer-reviewed validation, more per-user history, and a more mature app. If you are new to ring tracking and want to skip the subscription, the Ring Pro. If you want the most-validated data and do not mind the membership, Oura.
Was Ultrahuman banned in the US, and can I buy the Ring Pro now?
Yes and yes. Oura won a US ITC patent case, and Ultrahuman's earlier Ring AIR was blocked from US import in 2025. Ultrahuman redesigned the hardware, cleared US Customs, and reopened US pre-orders in March 2026 as the Ring Pro, which began shipping in June 2026. So the Ring Pro is the model US buyers can purchase today; the Ring AIR is the one that was blocked.
Is the no-subscription model real?
Yes. The Ring Pro is a one-time hardware purchase that includes lifelong access to the app and your data, with no recurring membership. That is the core of Ultrahuman's pitch against Oura and Whoop, both of which gate features or hardware behind a subscription.
How much does the Ultrahuman Ring Pro cost?
The buy page lists $479, struck to a $349 sale price as of July 28, 2026 (verified on ultrahuman.com/us/ring-pro/buy). Because there is no membership, that one-time number is the whole cost of ownership: over three years the Ring Pro at $349-479 undercuts an Oura Gen 4 at $349-499 plus roughly $70/yr in membership fees. Code LifespanVault takes 10% off at checkout.
How long does the Ring Pro battery last?
Ultrahuman rates the Ring Pro at up to 15 days per charge, roughly double the Oura Gen 4's 8-day rating and the longest single-charge figure among the rings we cover. Real-world runtime lands lower with heavy workout tracking, but even then most owners charge two to three times a month. The Pro Charging Case bundle adds top-ups on the go.
