Google Health Premium Review (Formerly Fitbit Premium): Price, Coach and What Changed

Fitbit Premium no longer exists under that name. On May 19, 2026, Google renamed it Google Health Premium, turned the Fitbit app into the Google Health app, and made its Gemini-built Google Health Coach the main reason to pay. This research-based review explains what the subscription costs now, what you get over the free app, what was removed in the move, and who should take the free trial. We have not used Google Health Premium ourselves; everything here comes from Google's store page, help center, blog posts and terms, plus independent reporting listed at the end.

Google Health and its coach are general wellness tools. Google's own footnotes say they are not intended for medical purposes, so talk to a clinician about symptoms or treatment decisions.

Google Health Premium at a glance

What changed from Fitbit Premium

The name and the app. Google's help center says the Fitbit app became the Google Health app starting May 19, 2026, with updates rolling out through May 26. If your Fitbit app still uses an old Fitbit account rather than a Google Account, you need to move it to Google to keep using the app.

The price of the annual plan. The monthly price stays at $9.99. Google's blog lists the annual plan at $99 per year. Android Authority reported that Fitbit Premium's annual plan had cost $79.99, so the yearly price rose by about $20. Android Authority listed the new annual price as $99.99; check the price shown at checkout.

The coach. Google Health Coach, previously in public preview, is now included with Premium. Google says it is built with Gemini and can create weekly fitness plans with you, adjust workouts, explain sleep data and answer health questions around the clock.

What Premium adds over the free app

The free Google Health app, paired with a Pixel Watch or Fitbit, already covers a lot. According to Google's store page it includes activity tracking (steps, calories, distance, cardio load, readiness and exercise sessions), sleep tracking with sleep score and stages, heart rate, HRV, breathing rate, skin temperature and SpO2, food and water logging, cycle tracking, and connected medical records where available.

Premium adds:

• A personal coach available 24/7. You can ask health questions and get tailored answers built with Gemini.
• Adaptive fitness plans. You and the coach set weekly plans, and the coach adjusts them as your schedule changes. You can also edit targets, reps, sets and duration yourself.
• Sleep coaching. Personalized sleep summaries with coaching insights.
• Nutrition and metabolic coaching. Google says you can log a meal by taking a photo, then ask the coach about it.
• Cycle-aware coaching. The coach links your cycle data to sleep, activity and daily routine.
• Help with lab reports. Summaries of lab results and notes for doctor visits, where medical records are supported. Google's footnote says medical records are available in the US and UK only.
• The Premium content library. Hundreds of video workouts and guided mindfulness sessions.

What was removed in the switch

If you used Fitbit Premium for years, read Google's list of what changed. The help center says:

• Sleep Profile and the monthly sleep animals are gone. Premium users can ask the coach what kind of sleeper they are instead.
• Estimated Oxygen Variation (EOV) is gone, and Snore Detection ended on Sense and Versa 3.
• Minute-by-minute skin temperature data and stress check graphs in the app are no longer available.
• Recipes are no longer available to Premium users, and Food Plans calorie targets were replaced by a calorie target in the Nutrition section.
• Badges are discontinued and historical badges are deleted. Groups, the Community Feed and direct messages were removed.
• Day-by-day plans from the coach's public preview were removed, though completed plans can be downloaded or deleted.

For long-time users, some of these, especially sleep animals and badges, were part of why Premium felt worth it. Check this list against how you use the app before you renew.

Eligibility and device requirements

Google's help center says the coach and Premium coaching features currently require a Fitbit or Pixel Watch and an age of 18 or older. Premium is available in a listed set of countries that includes the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, India, Japan and much of Europe. Google says support for other devices is coming, and people without a Fitbit or Pixel Watch will be notified when the coach is ready for them.

If you need a device, Google Store prices on October 31, 2026 included the Fitbit Air from $99.99, the Fitbit Inspire 3 at $69.95, the Fitbit Charge 6 at $129.95 and the Fitbit Edge from $179.99. Google's blog says every Fitbit Air comes with three months of Premium. For how the trackers differ, see our Fitbit Edge vs Charge 6 vs Pixel Watch comparison.

Price, trial and cancellation details

• Trial: The store page offers 3 months for new and returning users, one trial per customer, with a valid payment method and a compatible device. It renews at $9.99 per month unless you cancel. The offer runs until May 26, 2027.
• Bundles: Google says Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers get Premium at no extra cost. If you already pay for one of those plans, check whether Premium is active before you buy it separately.
• Cancellation: Under the Fitbit paid-services terms, you can cancel at any time, the cancellation takes effect at the end of the current term, and you will not get a refund for the term you already paid for.
• Price changes: The same terms let Google change prices after notice.

A practical approach is to start the trial, set a reminder about a week before it ends, and decide then whether the coach has changed your habits enough to pay $9.99 a month.

Privacy

Google says it committed not to use Fitbit users' health and wellness data for Google Ads and that the commitment continues in the Google Health app. The store page also says you can delete or export your health data from the app at any time.

Pros and cons

Pros
