Short answer: You do not need Frez Pro to connect a Frez Dyno or another supported sensor, measure force live, record results, or follow basic workouts. You do need an active Pro subscription to set a target force or target weight and receive audio cues that help you stay in the target zone.
That distinction matters before buying hardware. Frez Dyno and Frez Pro are separate purchases, and buying the device does not include Pro.

Basic workout structure is not the same as target settings
Free lets you create and save up to four training sessions and use basic workout structure. That is useful for organizing a small set of repeatable routines and recording the results.
However, a saved session in Free should not be read as a fully configurable force-guided workout. Entering a target force or target weight—and getting audio feedback when your force moves in or out of the target zone—is a Pro feature. An active Pro subscription is required whenever you want to use those target settings and cues.
We understand why configurable targets may feel like a basic feature, especially when the sensor is already measuring force. The practical tradeoff is simple: measurement and basic training remain available on Free, while force-target configuration and hands-free target-zone feedback are part of Pro.
Hardware and subscription are separate
Buying a Frez Dyno does not include a Frez Pro subscription. The device still works with the Free plan: you can connect it, see live force, record results, use basic workouts, save up to four grips and four training sessions, and use Schedule.
This also applies to other sensors supported by Frez. Pro expands the software features; it is not required simply to connect supported hardware or take a force measurement.
Why are the hardware and subscription separate?
I chose to keep the hardware entry price as low as practical. Frez Pro supports the ongoing development, maintenance, and improvement of the app. That business model does not suit everyone, so the feature boundary needs to be visible before purchase rather than discovered after the device arrives.
For a purchase decision, use this rule:
- If configurable force targets and audio feedback are essential to your training, include Pro in the ongoing cost.
- If live measurement, recorded results, and a small number of basic routines are enough, Free can keep the hardware useful without a subscription.
What Pro adds
Pro removes the four-item limits for grips and saved training sessions. It also adds configurable target force or target weight, audio target-zone cues, custom schedule items such as yoga or rehab, Critical Force, RFD, CSV export, and community programs.
These features suit people who want force-guided sessions, a larger workout library, advanced testing, or access to their data outside the app. They are optional additions rather than a requirement for basic sensor use.

Prices may vary by country. Check your local App Store for the final price, and see the current Frez pricing page before subscribing.
What happens if you cancel or Pro expires?
After cancellation, Pro access continues through the end of the current paid period. When that period ends, Pro-only features—including target force or target weight settings and target-zone audio cues—require an active subscription again.
Your Frez Dyno or other supported sensor does not stop working. You can continue using the device with the Free features listed above.
Which plan makes sense for you?
Choose Free if you mainly want to measure force, record results, follow a few basic routines, and use no more than four grips and four saved sessions.
Budget for Pro if your intended workout depends on a prescribed force or weight target, especially if you want audio guidance without watching the screen. Pro is also the better fit when you need unlimited grips and sessions, advanced metrics, custom schedule items, CSV export, or community programs.
FAQ
Do I need Pro to use Frez Dyno?
No. Frez Dyno works with Free for sensor connection, live force measurement, recorded results, basic workouts, up to four grips, up to four saved training sessions, and Schedule.
Is Target Weight included in Free?
No. Target Weight is a Pro-only feature. Free lets you measure force and record results, but setting a target force or target weight requires an active Pro subscription.
Are audio cues available on Free?
No. Audio cues that help you stay in the configured target zone are part of Pro.
Does buying Frez Dyno include Pro?
No. Hardware and the Pro subscription are sold separately.
Can I keep using the device after cancelling Pro?
Yes. Pro remains active until the current paid period ends. After that, the device and Free features remain usable, while Pro-only features require an active subscription again.
Is there a free trial?
The annual Pro plan includes a 7-day trial. Check the pricing page for the current store offer and local price.
