Method
Every vendor named on this site's 20 pricing pages that carry an evidence file is one row, 32 in all. Each page's evidence file quotes the vendor's own pages verbatim, and a weekly workflow re-reads every quote.
The class follows one rule, applied in order. A vendor publishes a price when it lists a price for any paid developer plan. It has no published price when it names a paid plan or commercial terms without a price. It is free when it says developer access costs nothing and names no paid plan.
The line beside each vendor is the sentence its class rests on, copied from the evidence file, and the generator fails unless it is there. A free plan, trial or sandbox, and a paid tier named without a price, are recorded beside it with their own lines.
7 vendors are listed but not counted, each with the reason: their quoted lines state no price either way, the page has no evidence file, or, for KinesteX, the vendor funds this site.
The State of Fitness APIs 2026 report counts how 25 directory products bill developers, from this site's cost model. This study asks a narrower question of a different set, the vendors on the pricing pages, and answers it from each vendor's own line, so its counts are not the report's.

Not counted
Listed on the pricing pages but not counted.
| Vendor | Category | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Fitbit | Wearable APIs | Its pricing page has no evidence file of quoted vendor lines, and Google gives November 2, 2026 as the turn-off of the Fitbit Web API. |
| USDA FoodData Central | Nutrition and food data | The quoted lines give its CC0 license, the API-key rule and the rate limit, but none states a price or that access costs nothing. |
| Open Food Facts | Nutrition and food data | The quoted lines give its ODbL license and read limits, but none states a price or that access costs nothing. |
| AscendAPI (ExerciseDB) | Exercise content | Its free tiers are quoted, but its paid tier is priced on RapidAPI, and no quoted line gives that price. |
| free-exercise-db | Exercise content | An open dataset: the quoted lines are its license, not a price. |
| wger | Exercise content | Open-source software and data: the quoted lines are its licenses, not a price. |
| KinesteX | AI motion SDKs | KinesteX funds this site, so it is left out of cross-vendor counts, as /press and the fitness API index leave it out. |
What this method cannot see
- It records what the vendor's page says, not what a customer pays: a published price is a starting price, and discounts, overages and negotiated terms are not here.
- It covers the vendors this site's pricing pages discuss, not the whole market. A vendor's class can change with one edit to its pricing page; the evidence files are re-read weekly, and the pages carry their own review dates.
- Prices published only inside a marketplace listing, a signed-in dashboard or a sales deck count as not published, because no quoted line shows them.

Frequently asked questions
How many fitness API vendors publish their prices?
14 of the 25 counted here list a price for a paid developer plan, 5 name a paid plan or terms without one, and 6 are free with no paid plan named.
Which wearable APIs say they are free for developers?
Strava, Oura, WHOOP, Polar, Suunto and Wahoo, each in a line quoted beside it on this page. Free to call is not free to use: the pricing pages linked from each row cover memberships, approvals and user-side costs.
What counts as no published price in this study?
A vendor that names a paid plan or commercial terms without a price: Garmin, Withings, Validic, LexisNexis Human API and Metriport. Several of them also offer a free plan or sandbox, recorded beside the class.
Why are some vendors left out of the pricing counts?
Fitbit, USDA FoodData Central, Open Food Facts, AscendAPI (ExerciseDB), free-exercise-db, wger and KinesteX are listed with a reason and not counted. Most have quoted lines that give a license or a limit but no price either way; KinesteX funds this site and is left out as the site's other cross-vendor counts leave it out.
