Zoe Details

IMPORTANT:ZOE no longer includes a CGM. The next-generation kit is gut microbiome only - CGM and blood-fat testing were removed entirely, and ZOE now predicts glucose and blood fat response algorithmically. US membership:Start $24.99/mo rolling for 4 months, Core $9.99/mo rolling for 12 months. ZOE Plus (app only, no test) $99.99/yr or $15.99/mo. Not available in New York. The previous $294 figure double-counted the test kit inside the annual subscription cost;the US kit price is not published.

Ultrahuman Details

Product changed:M2 Live launched in the US on 18 June 2026, built on Abbott's Lingo CGM, replacing the M1 product this row previously described. $99/month for 2 sensors (introductory pricing), or $129 for a single sensor one-time. NO PRESCRIPTION is required, unlike the earlier M1 which needed one. Bundled with Ultrahuman Premium and Jade AI insights. A one-year plan exists shipping 26 sensors in four batches every 10 weeks, but Ultrahuman does not publish its price, so the annual figure here is 12 x the monthly rate and is likely an overestimate.
