A subscription score is rented
The number is tied to an active membership. Stop paying and the daily readout you relied on goes quiet.
Before you cancel

What happens to my scores when I cancel WHOOP?
WHOOP stops providing scores once the membership subscription lapses. That is the whole reason a cancellation feels like a trap — the data you built a morning habit around switches off with the billing. The fix is not a cheaper subscription; it is owning the tool outright.
A pay-once score is owned
cowe is a single $24.99 purchase. There is no membership to lapse, so the morning score keeps showing up.
No hardware to keep alive
cowe reads the Apple Watch you already wear. No proprietary band, strap or ring to keep on your wrist.
How do I replace WHOOP without another subscription?
You keep the watch, drop the band, and pay once. cowe is built to be the soft landing for a cancellation — here is the practical swap, in order.
- Finish your WHOOP cancellation when you are ready — cowe needs nothing from your old account.
- Keep wearing the Apple Watch you already own; that is the only sensor cowe reads.
- Install cowe once. It reads overnight HRV, resting heart rate and sleep straight from Apple Health, on-device.
- Let it learn your own baseline over a few nights — cowe tells you plainly when it isn't confident yet, instead of faking a number.
- Wake up to one morning readiness score, computed on your iPhone, with no cloud and no account.

Does a pay-once app read the same signals?
Yes — cowe reads the same recovery signals your wrist was already collecting: overnight heart-rate variability, resting heart rate and sleep. It just reads them against your own trend rather than a population average, and keeps the math on your device.
Heart-rate variability
A read on how taxed your system was overnight. It is noisy night to night, so cowe leans on the trend against your baseline — never one morning in isolation.
Resting heart rate
Steadier than HRV and a useful counterweight. cowe reads it alongside, as part of one readiness picture against your personal trend.
Sleep
Duration and consistency are the foundation. cowe treats the signal directionally — and says so when it isn't sure yet.
