Ray vs. Ultrahuman Ring PRO
Ultrahuman's newest ring costs $479. Ray takes a different approach for less.
Ultrahuman Ring PRO is the company's newest smart ring, at $479. Like Ring AIR, its core features need no subscription, with optional paid PowerPlugs. Ultrahuman's store doesn't list a battery-life figure for it. Ray costs less, is worn on the wrist and powers itself from light.
The short answer
Choose Ring PRO if you want Ultrahuman's latest ring hardware and app. Choose Ray if you want a lower price, a band instead of a ring and no charging routine.
Ultrahuman Ring PRO status: Currently sold.
Side by side
Specs are manufacturer claims and US pricing snapshots, not lab-test results. A blank promise is less useful than a clear tradeoff, so we keep this list deliberately practical.
