Renewal up soon, upgrade to MG for free + take 1yr renewal?

Currently on Whoop 5.0 and my renewal is up in about 30 days. I’m thinking of taking the free upgrade to MG, but curious how others are thinking about it.

I know there’s been a lot of noise around Fitbit recently, and I do find the idea interesting, especially if the platform ends up being genuinely open. The main thing that would make me consider switching is if I could easily export the data and build my own analysis, dashboards, or connect it to Claude/OpenAI-type workflows.

That said, I still really like Whoop. The software is the main reason. The AI coach has become genuinely useful for me, I like Strength Trainer, and I like seeing all my trends over time. I also like that I can upload labs and keep everything centralized.

The “Whoop Age” itself feels a bit gimmicky to me, but I do like the underlying idea of seeing where I’m improving or slipping each week on actual determinants of health and longevity: time in strength training, zone 2, sleep time/consistency, etc. Same with the weekly plan. If I set goals that are actually meaningful to me, it’s useful to have Whoop track progress against them over time.

I’m getting close to a 1-year streak, so there’s also value in not fragmenting everything. Price isn’t really the issue TBH. I’m more trying to decide whether Fitbit or anyone else is actually likely to catch up on software, insights, coaching, strength training, lab uploads, trend tracking, weekly planning, etc. My gut is probably not, at least not soon.

For people considering the same thing, are you sticking with Whoop and upgrading, switching, or waiting to see how the Fitbit situation plays out?
