Ultrahuman M1 is not free: in the US it now sells as M2 Live at $99 a month for two 14-day sensors, per the US pricing page on October 12, 2026, while the UK page lists 4 weeks at £169 and the India page at ₹8,999. The Ultrahuman app is a free download, but it shows glucose only from a paid sensor. And once a sensor is used or paired, Ultrahuman's terms call every plan "non-cancellable and non-refundable."
Prices checked on October 12, 2026 on Ultrahuman's pricing pages for the US, UK, Germany, the UAE and India, its M1 Terms of Sale and the App Store listing. Taxes and some shipping are added at checkout.
Ultrahuman is a wearables company registered in Bengaluru, best known for its smart rings, and it has sold M1 since 2021, per its press release. M1 is a software platform wrapped around a third-party glucose sensor: Ultrahuman does not make its own CGM. What you pay for is the sensor plus the app's Metabolic Score, food scores and coaching. This guide covers what M1 costs in each country, how it compares with buying a sensor directly, and what happens when you want your money back.
TL;DR - Ultrahuman M1 Pricing
- US (M2 Live): $99 a month on subscription, or $129, $289 and $1,229 for 1-month, 3-month and 1-year one-time plans.
- UK: £109 for 2 weeks and £169 for 4 weeks at list price. Germany: €189 for 4 weeks. India: from ₹4,699.
- October offers: the UK, German and India pages showed 10% to 16% off those list prices on October 12, 2026.
- Refunds: only for an allergic reaction or more than two faulty sensors in a row.
- Canceling: only before the shipment notice. After a sensor is paired, the plan runs to the end of its term.

🔍 The clause that caps sensor replacements (revealed near the end)
The quick answer: M1 is not free
Two things cost nothing:
- The app. Ultrahuman is free on iPhone and Android. It is the same app Ultrahuman's rings use, and it reads glucose once a sensor is paired.
- Coaching and the AI coach, inside a paid plan. The US pricing page says Jade, the AI coach, answers questions "at no extra cost," and that the recurring subscription comes bundled with Ultrahuman Premium, which it describes as "1000+ hours of fitness and recovery masterclasses."
The sensors are always paid. There is no free sensor, no free tier with glucose data and no money-back guarantee. The UK and India pages sell a 2-week plan labeled "Trial," but it is a paid purchase of one sensor.
You do not need an Ultrahuman ring to use M1. Ultrahuman's M2 Live press release says the glucose product "is powerful on its own," and the ring only adds sleep and recovery data next to your glucose.
Every M1 plan comes down to a price per sensor. The tables below do the counting.
M1 became M2 Live in the US
On June 18, 2026, Ultrahuman launched M2 Live in the US, built on Abbott's over-the-counter Lingo biosensor. The press release says there is "no prescription and a lower cost, with sensors starting at just $99/month on subscription."
Before that, the US product was M1 Live on FreeStyle Libre 3 sensors, which needed a prescription. Ultrahuman's US M1 Live FAQ describes that older route: you paid, filled out a medical form, and a telehealth partner decided whether to prescribe. Residents of nine states and the District of Columbia, including Arkansas, Idaho and New Mexico, could not get that online prescription at all. M2 Live removes that step.
Outside the US, the product is still called M1 Live. The sensor depends on the region:
| Region | Product name | Sensor (per Ultrahuman's pricing pages) | Phone needs |
|---|---|---|---|
| US | M2 Live | Abbott Lingo, 14 days | NFC to activate |
| UK and EU | M1 Live | Abbott FreeStyle Libre | NFC |
| UAE | M1 Live | Abbott FreeStyle Libre | NFC |
| India | M1 Live | GlucoRx Vixxa 2, 15 days | Bluetooth only, no NFC |
Ultrahuman M1 price list by country
United States (M2 Live)
The US pricing page showed a subscription tab and a one-time tab on October 12, 2026, under the label "At Introductory Pricing." Each Lingo sensor lasts 14 days, so two sensors cover 28 days.
| Plan | Price | Sensors | Per sensor | Per day | Renews? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscription | $99 | 2 | $49.50 | $3.54 | Every 30 days |
| 1 month, one time | $129 | 2 | $64.50 | $4.61 | No |
| 3 months, one time | $289 | 6 | $48.17 | $3.44 | No |
| 1 year, one time | $1,229 | 26 | $47.27 | $3.38 | No |
The per-day column is our arithmetic, dividing each price by 14 days per sensor. The page labels the subscription "save 23%," the 3-month plan "save 25%" and the 1-year plan "save 27%," all against the $129 one-time price. The 1-year plan ships in four batches, and the page says shipments come "every 10 weeks."
United Kingdom, EU and UAE (M1 Live)
The UK page showed only two plans, both one-time: a "2 Weeks Trial" at £109 with one sensor and "4 Weeks" at £169 with two. On October 12, 2026 it also showed an "Exclusive Offer Applied" price on each: £91.56 and £141.96. The German page, which serves euro buyers, showed one plan: 4 weeks for €189 with two sensors, or €168.21 with the offer. Neither page showed a subscription.
The UAE page had the longest list and no offer: AED 850 for 1 month (2 sensors), AED 2,255 for 3 months (6), AED 4,755 for 6 months (13) and AED 8,955 for 1 year (26).
India (M1 Live)
India has the widest choice and the only Bluetooth sensor. The India page lists five one-time plans and two subscriptions. The offer column is the price the page showed on October 12, 2026:
| Plan | List price | Offer price | Sensors | Per sensor at offer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 weeks, one time | ₹4,699 | ₹4,229.10 | 1 | ₹4,229 |
| 4 weeks, one time | ₹8,999 | ₹8,099.10 | 2 | ₹4,050 |
| 12 weeks, one time | ₹25,999 | ₹23,399.10 | 6 | ₹3,900 |
| 24 weeks, one time | ₹50,999 | ₹45,899.10 | 12 | ₹3,825 |
| 52 weeks, one time | ₹1,08,999 | ₹98,099.10 | 26 | ₹3,773 |
| Monthly subscription, 1 sensor | ₹4,169 a month | none shown | 1 | ₹4,169 |
| Monthly subscription, 2 sensors | ₹8,199 a month | none shown | 2 | ₹4,100 |
At list prices, the 2-sensor subscription is the cheapest per sensor. With the October offer, every one-time plan of 4 weeks or longer beats it. The 52-week plan arrives in three shipments of 6, 10 and 10 sensors.
Everywhere else
The Australia, Canada and Singapore pricing pages loaded as an "M1 Live Waitlist" page on October 12, 2026, as did the global page, which says Ultrahuman is "working on enabling access in your region."
What a year of M1 costs
Few people need a full year of wear, but the yearly figure is the fairest way to compare plans. Using the US pricing page:
- 1-year plan: $1,229 for 26 sensors, which covers 364 days.
- Monthly subscription: 13 shipments of $99 to get the same 26 sensors, or $1,287.
- Monthly one-time plan: 13 purchases of $129, or $1,677.
In India, 26 sensors list at ₹1,08,999 on the 52-week plan (₹98,099.10 with the October offer) or cost about ₹1,06,600 on the 2-sensor subscription (13 months at ₹8,199). In the UK, 13 four-week plans from the UK page come to £2,197 at list, or about £1,845 at the offer price.
A realistic budget for most people without diabetes is one 4-week plan, then another a few months later to test changes. At the US one-time price, that is $129 to $258 a year, or ₹8,999 to ₹18,000 in India at list price.

🧩 The clause that caps sensor replacements (coming soon)
Ultrahuman M1 vs Lingo and Stelo on price
In the US, Ultrahuman now uses the same Lingo sensor Abbott sells directly, so the comparison is clean. Lingo's numbers come from its plans page, and Stelo's from the Stelo buy page, both checked on October 12, 2026.
| Ultrahuman M2 Live | Abbott Lingo | Dexcom Stelo | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cheapest way in | $129 (2 sensors) | $54 (1 sensor) | $99 (2 sensors) |
| Best-value plan | $1,229 per year | $249 per 12 weeks | $252 per 3 months |
| Sensor length | 14 days | 14 days | up to 15 days |
| Cost per day, best plan | about $3.38 | about $2.96 | about $2.80 |
| Cost per day, monthly subscription | about $3.54 | no monthly plan | about $2.97 |
| Refunds | Allergy or repeated faulty sensors only | 30 days, first purchase only | None, all sales final |
Figure 1: Cost per day of wear for seven US plans, from Ultrahuman, Lingo and Dexcom Stelo prices on October 12, 2026.
As Figure 1 shows, every M2 Live plan costs more per day than any Lingo or Stelo subscription. By our arithmetic from the US pricing page, the same Lingo sensor costs about 42 cents a day more through Ultrahuman on its best plan, and about 58 cents more on the monthly subscription. Over a year of wear, that is roughly $150 to $210 extra. What you get for it is the Ultrahuman app: the Metabolic Score, food scores, the Jade AI coach and, if you own an Ultrahuman ring, sleep and recovery data on the same screen.
In the UK the gap is wider. On the Lingo UK site and shop, Lingo's 4-week plan is £99 for two sensors, against £169 at list or £141.96 with the offer for Ultrahuman's 4 weeks. That is about £6.04 a day at list and £5.07 with the offer, against about £3.44 on Lingo's UK 12-week subscription.
Our Lingo pricing guide and Stelo pricing guide break those two down plan by plan.
If the Ultrahuman app is what you want, look at M1 Lite. The pricing pages describe it as a subscription for people who bring their own sensor, and in the US it "supports the Libre 3 Plus and Abbott Lingo." No regional page listed its price, so ask support first.
Refunds: two narrow cases
The FAQ on every regional pricing page gives the same rule. The US page says: "We issue refunds in two cases: 1. You faced an allergic reaction to the sensor. 2. You received more than two faulty sensors consecutively and want to opt for a refund instead of a sensor replacement." It adds that refunds are processed "within 48 working hours."
The M1 Terms of Sale are stricter in tone. They say "Ultrahuman M1 cannot be returned, refunded or exchanged," and that "once the CGM has been used or paired with the Ultrahuman App, the order cannot be cancelled and payment cannot be refunded even partially as the plans are non-cancellable and non-refundable."
That leaves these routes to money back:
- Cancel before it ships. The terms say you can cancel "any time before you receive a shipment notification" by emailing Ultrahuman, and the refund goes to the original payment method.
- Wrong item. If the kit is "not as shown on the Website," you must email within 24 hours of delivery.
- An allergic reaction, per the pricing page FAQ.
- Repeated faulty sensors, after replacements are exhausted.
The refund rules sit in two places, the pricing page FAQ and the Terms of Sale. Read both before you pay.
How to cancel or pause an M1 plan
The Terms of Sale say the plans "are non-cancellable and non-refundable" and that "your plan will get cancelled by the end of its term." In practice:
- Before the shipment notice, email Ultrahuman to cancel the order for a full refund.
- After a sensor is paired, you cannot cancel the current term. A one-time plan ends on its own. A plan that ships in batches keeps shipping.
- To skip, delay or pause a subscription, the terms point to an online form or the support email.
- To change a US subscription, the US pricing page says to email [email protected] with your order number.
No page we checked describes a self-serve cancel button, so keep a copy of every email.

⏳ The clause that caps sensor replacements (next)
HSA, FSA and payment options
In the US, Ultrahuman's HSA/FSA page says "the Ring PRO, M1, Home, Photon and Voyager Charger are all HSA/FSA eligible," paid through a checkout option called Flex. The older US M1 Live FAQ still says M1 Live "is not eligible," so the two pages disagree. Check with your plan administrator before you count on pre-tax money.
What users say about the Ultrahuman app
The Ultrahuman app was rated 4.5 out of 5 from 7,953 ratings on the US App Store on October 12, 2026 (version 4.4.4, released October 7, 2026). It was 4.6 from 4,312 ratings in India and 4.6 from 1,062 in the UK.
Those ratings mostly describe the ring. Of the 50 most recent US reviews in Apple's customer review feed, none mentioned glucose, sensors or M1. The listing's in-app purchases are ring add-ons, such as Cycle & Ovulation at $3.99 a month and UltrahumanX at $54 for 2 years.
What the research says about CGMs without diabetes
Ultrahuman markets M1 for weight loss, metabolic health and athletic performance. The research supports some of that.
- Modest effects on glucose, none on weight. A 2024 meta-analysis of 25 randomized trials with 2,996 adults found CGM feedback lowered HbA1c by 0.28 percentage points, with non-significant effects on BMI and weight (Richardson et al., 2024). Most of the trials were in people with type 2 diabetes.
- People respond differently to the same food. A study of 800 people and 46,898 meals found high variability in glucose response to identical meals (Zeevi et al., 2015). That is the case for testing your own meals before you trust a generic list.
- One reading of one meal is noisy. In feeding studies of 30 adults without diabetes and 1,189 meal responses, the same meal served about a week apart gave responses with low reliability (intraclass correlation 0.17 to 0.28) (Hengist et al., 2025). A food score built on one meal can mislead. Test a meal more than once before you drop it.
- Some "normal" people are not so normal. A Stanford study found people with normal standard tests still reached prediabetic glucose levels 15% of the time on a CGM (Hall et al., 2018). That is the best case for a short CGM trial if you have risk factors.
A month of M1 can show you how your breakfast, your post-dinner walk and your late snack behave. It will not make you lose weight on its own.

✨ The clause that caps sensor replacements (about to reveal)
The replacement cap: 2 sensors a year
Lingo sensors do not all last the full two weeks. The M2 Live press release repeats Abbott's footnote: "77.1% of biosensors lasted the full 14 days" and "approximately 22.9% of biosensors may not last for the full 14 days." At $47 to $65 a sensor, that matters.
Now put that next to one sentence in the Terms of Sale: "we retain the right to limit replacement only up to 2 sensors per user in a calendar year." For faulty sensors beyond that limit, the terms say Ultrahuman keeps "the right to provide a refund for the amount paid."
Run the numbers on the 1-year plan. It holds 26 sensors, and 22.9% of 26 is about 6 sensors that may stop before day 14. The terms let Ultrahuman replace 2 of them and decide what to do about the other 4. That is our arithmetic from Abbott's rate, and Ultrahuman may well replace more than 2 in practice. But the right to stop at 2 is in writing, and it is one more reason to start with a short plan. Abbott's own shop replaces a Lingo sensor that stops before 14 days, as our Lingo pricing guide covers.
What Ultrahuman asks of you, per the same terms:
- Report within 14 days of use. Email support "with pictures of the faulty readings." A team member checks before approving.
- Keep the sensor. The pricing page FAQ says not to throw it away, since Ultrahuman arranges "a return pick-up for your faulty sensor."
What is not covered: sensors that come off during "workouts, swimming, and bathing," damage from sweat or knocks, application mistakes such as "not shaving the area clean," and expired sensors. The paid UltrahumanX add-on covers knock-offs, but the terms say it is sold "only to buyers in India and UAE."
Who the price makes sense for
Good fit: you already own an Ultrahuman ring and want glucose next to your sleep and recovery data in one app, or you live in India or the UAE, where Ultrahuman's range of plans is wider than most local options.
Fair fit: you are curious about your glucose and want a one-month experiment in the UK or EU. The 4-week plan works, but compare it with Lingo's UK price first, since the gap for the same four weeks is £70 at list price and about £43 with the October offer.
Poor fit: you are in the US and mainly want the cheapest sensor. Lingo from Abbott or the Stelo 3-month plan costs less per day. M1 is also the wrong choice if you mainly want to lose weight, since the research above shows no weight effect from CGM feedback alone. For an app that reads other sensors, see our CGM app roundup. For a coached program built on a sensor, see our Signos pricing guide.
How to buy Ultrahuman M1 without overpaying: 5 steps
- Check that your country is served. Ultrahuman sells M1 in the US (as M2 Live), the UK, EU countries, the UAE and India. Australia, Canada and Singapore showed a waitlist on October 12, 2026.
- Start with the smallest plan. Every plan is non-cancellable and non-refundable once a sensor is used or paired with the app. Buy the 2-week or 4-week plan first.
- Price per sensor, not per plan. In the US, the $99 monthly subscription is $49.50 a sensor and the 1-year plan $47.27. Lingo bought from Abbott is $41.50 a sensor on its 12-week subscription.
- Cancel before the shipment notification. An order can be cancelled for a refund only before you receive the shipment notice. After that, plans end at the end of their term.
- Report faulty sensors within 14 days. Email support with pictures of the faulty readings within 14 days of use and keep the sensor. Ultrahuman may limit replacements to 2 sensors a year.
Tracking food without a sensor
M1 shows how your glucose moves after you eat. It does not tell you how many calories or how much protein was on the plate. NutriScan works on the food side. It logs a meal from a photo and returns calories, protein, carbs and fat for mixed plates. It does not read a CGM: glucose readings are logged by hand, for free, and shown next to the meals you ate around them. The free tier has 5 scans a week, and Premium is about $59 a year. NutriScan's pricing is laid out the same way as this guide, and the diabetes macro calculator gives carb and protein targets to log against.
FAQ
Is the Ultrahuman app free?
Yes. The Ultrahuman app is a free download, but it shows glucose data only from a paid sensor plan. In the US, the monthly M2 Live subscription includes Ultrahuman Premium and the Jade AI coach at no extra cost.
How much does Ultrahuman M1 cost per month?
In the US it is $99 a month on subscription for two 14-day Lingo sensors, or $129 for one month without a subscription. In the UK, 4 weeks list at £169. In Germany, 4 weeks list at €189. In India, the monthly subscription is ₹8,199 for two sensors.
Can I get a refund on Ultrahuman M1?
Only in narrow cases. Ultrahuman refunds if you have an allergic reaction to the sensor, or if you receive more than two faulty sensors in a row and choose a refund. You can also cancel for a refund before you get a shipment notice. Once a sensor is used or paired, plans are non-refundable.
Is Ultrahuman M1 cheaper than Lingo?
No. In the US, Ultrahuman uses Lingo sensors and its cheapest rate is about $3.38 a day on the 1-year plan. Abbott sells Lingo directly at about $2.96 a day on its 12-week subscription. The extra money buys the Ultrahuman app and coaching.
What is the difference between Ultrahuman M1 and M2 Live?
M2 Live is the US version launched on June 18, 2026. It uses Abbott's over-the-counter Lingo sensor, so no prescription is needed. M1 Live is still the name in the UK, EU, UAE and India, where it uses FreeStyle Libre or, in India, Vixxa 2 sensors.
