Total cost over 12 and 24 months
| Option sold in Australia | 12 months | 24 months |
|---|---|---|
| Oura Ring 5 Silver, plus annual membership | A$758.99 | A$868.98 |
| Oura Ring 5 Gold, plus annual membership | A$908.99 | A$1,018.98 |
| Thrive, then the annual plan | A$660 | A$900 |
| Thrive, then A$29 a month | A$660 | A$1,008 |
| Thrive Complete, 24 months upfront | Not this option | A$800 |
On 13 Oct 2026, JB Hi-Fi listed Oura Ring 5 Silver, size 6, at A$649 with delivery available, and Oura Ring 5 Gold, size 6, at A$799 with delivery and click and collect available. Both pages say a subscription is required, and that the first month of membership is included for new Oura members. Oura's membership page lists A$9.99 a month or A$109.99 a year after tax for Australian members.
The 12-month Oura totals are the ring plus one annual membership: A$649 plus A$109.99 is A$758.99 for Silver, and A$799 plus A$109.99 is A$908.99 for Gold. The 24-month Oura total assumes membership paid each year at today's price, so Silver is A$868.98 and Gold is A$1,018.98. Oura also lists A$9.99 a month. That path is not the figure in the table. A sizing kit, and a charging case Oura says is sold separately, are not in these totals because this check did not record those prices.
Oura Ring 5 Black, size 6, was listed on JB Hi-Fi on the same day and was not available, so it is not in the table. Other finishes were not all checked.
Thrive's 12-month total is A$660 upfront for the band and 12 months of the plan. The band is never sold on its own. You keep it. That purchase does not renew automatically.
For 24 months with Thrive, keep the band and add the next year of the plan. A$240 for the year (A$20 a month) makes A$900. Or pay A$29 a month with no lock-in. Twelve months at that rate is A$348, so the 24-month total is A$1,008. The monthly plan bills each month until you cancel.
There is also Thrive Complete at A$800 upfront for the band and 24 months of connected access. That is a separate checkout option, not the A$660 price plus a renewal.
Thrive prices include GST. Free Australia-wide shipping (usually A$14.99) under the current launch offer.
Sleep, recovery, midlife health and habit insight
This is a use comparison, not a score. Sentences about Oura are what Oura's pages said on 13 Oct 2026.
| Use | Thrive Health Band | Oura, as Oura and JB Hi-Fi described Ring 5 |
|---|---|---|
| Sleep | No screen on the wrist. Sleep is in the Thrive by Optihealth app in the morning, including duration and stages. REM shows when Precise sleep is switched on. Up to 14 days between charges, so the band can stay on overnight without a charge every night. | JB Hi-Fi lists Touchscreen as false for Ring 5, and says battery life is up to one week. Oura says the ring shows a daily sleep score, sleep stages, nap detection and sleep debt. |
| Recovery | Recovery sits beside sleep and activity, against your own baseline. Recovery insights include an estimated time to get back to baseline. | Oura says it balances activity and recovery, with a daily activity score, and that daytime stress and stress resilience are part of the picture. Those are Oura's names for its own features. |
| Midlife health | A screenless band for the wider picture: blood tests, medical history, medications and supplements, and meals through Food Fit, next to sleep and heart trends. Blood-pressure figures are cuffless estimates about every 10 minutes. They need calibration, recalibration is recommended every 21 days, and they are not a diagnosis. Women's Health in the app is self-reported. It does not diagnose or prescribe. | Oura says Ring 5 includes cycle insights, pregnancy insights and menopause insights, and heart rate and heart rate variability trends. This page does not treat those statements as a finding about your health. |
| Habit insight | Meals, medications, supplements and the notes you record sit with the band's readings. Ask Thrive answers in everyday language about your own information. It points to patterns, not proven causes. | Oura says Oura Advisor gives guidance in the app, and that membership unlocks the daily insights. Oura says the ring works with other apps. Thrive does not sync to Apple Health. |
| Water and after you buy | IP68, and also rated 5 ATM. You keep the band. After 12 months the plan is A$240 a year (A$20 a month) or A$29 a month with no lock-in. | The Ring 5 specification list we checked did not name an IP rating. JB Hi-Fi says a subscription is required. Oura's published membership is A$9.99 a month or A$109.99 a year after tax for Australia. |
