Kegel apps without a subscription
Most pelvic floor apps are free to install and then bill you every month or every year, forever. A few charge once. Here is which is which.
The two ways these apps charge
Subscription. Free to download, then a recurring charge. The app keeps working only while you keep paying, and pelvic floor training is a habit you are meant to keep up for years — so the meter runs for as long as you get value from it. If you stop paying, you stop having the app.
One-time. You pay once and keep it. Some apps do this as a paid unlock on top of a free tier; others just sell the app. Either way the total cost is known up front and does not grow.
The difference is not really about money — it is about whether the cost has an end. A subscription app that costs a few pounds a month will, over the years you should be doing these exercises, cost more than any of the one-time options here by a wide margin.
The comparison
| App | How it charges | Platforms | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| StaminooursCheck price | One-time | Android | No free tier — you pay once, up front. |
| KappCheck price | One-time | iPhone only | Closest to our approach: pay once, nothing leaves the device. No Android version. |
| KeggleCheck price | Free + one-time unlock | Android | A usable free tier, and the upgrade is a single purchase rather than a plan. |
| Kegel TrainerCheck price | Free + one-time unlock | Android | Long-established, with tens of thousands of reviews behind it. |
| Dr. KegelCheck price | Subscription | Android, iPhone | Free to install, then billed yearly. Stops working when you stop paying. |
| Kegel MenCheck price | Subscription | Android, iPhone | The largest of these by review count, and a recurring plan. |
No prices here on purpose. They change without warning, and a comparison quoting last year's figure at you is worse than one that sends you to look. Some apps also offer more than one option — the store listing is the only thing that is ever current.
What an app is actually for
Kegels need no equipment. A clock and a habit will do, and the NHS and most national health services publish the technique for free — which is the part that matters most at the start.
What a clock cannot do is make the work harder as you get stronger. Pelvic floor training follows the same principle as any other strength training: once a set stops being difficult, it stops asking much of you. Moving forward means holding longer, doing more sets, resting less — and knowing when to take that step rather than guessing at it.
That is what Stamino is built around. It works in levels: you progress through a level's sets, and the next one asks more of you than the last. The routine you start on is not the routine you are still doing in three months.
Which is the real argument for paying once rather than monthly. The progression is there for as long as you keep training — not for as long as you keep paying.
Where Stamino fits
Stamino is the one-time option for Android: guided routines, reminders you set around your own day, and a price you pay once. It requests no device permissions at all — no internet, no contacts, no storage — so your training data physically cannot leave your phone. There is no account to make and nothing to cancel.
It is out now. If the shape of it suits you, it is one purchase and yours — and if one of the apps above suits you better, use that one instead.
