Herz P1 Smart Scale vs Withings: Which Wins in 2026?

This is the Herz P1’s clearest win. The Herz P1 Smart Scale is $129.99 with the handle, 56 metrics and 24 user profiles included.

Withings starts at a nearly identical $129.95, but that buys the Body Smart, a four-electrode foot-only scale with a fraction of the data. Match the Herz P1 feature for feature and you’re at the $499.95 Body Scan.

For a household that wants real composition data without a premium budget, the math isn’t close. You get the deep reading, and multiple family profiles, for the price of Withings’ most basic model.

Here’s where the handle earns its place. A foot-only scale measures your lower body and estimates your arms and torso with an algorithm. The Herz P1 grip closes the circuit through your upper body, so it reports each arm, each leg and your trunk separately.

That segmental view is what lets you see a muscle imbalance or track an arm after an injury, not just a single whole-body number. Withings offers the same segmental mapping, but you’ll only find it on the Body Scan.

So both brands can do it. Only one does it for $129.99. If limb-by-limb data is the reason you’re upgrading from a normal scale, the Herz P1 delivers it at the low end of the market.

Give Withings its due, because this round is genuinely its own. Withings cites validation against DEXA scans, the clinical reference for body composition, with brand-stated figures up to 99% for fat mass. That’s a real, repeatable evidence trail.

The Herz P1’s headline is a company-stated 97% correlation with a professional InBody 270. It’s a reasonable claim for an 8-electrode design, but it’s the brand’s own number, not an independent study, and that distinction matters.

Both scales use bioelectrical impedance, so both wobble with hydration, meals and time of day. For chasing trends either is fine. For the most defensible single reading, Withings is the safer call.

Day to day, the Herz P1 is easy to live with. The free app carries no fees and pushes your data straight into Apple Health, Google Fit, Fitbit and Samsung Health, so it drops into whatever you already use. It also holds up to 24 profiles, handy for a big family or a small gym.

Withings is also free to use through Health Mate, and honestly its app is the more polished of the two. It just leans you toward its optional Withings+ plan and caps most scales at eight users.

If you want your numbers everywhere without an ecosystem nudge, and room for more than a couple of people, the Herz P1’s open, no-fee approach takes it. One honest note: the Herz P1 runs on AAA batteries, while the pricier Withings models recharge.

This round belongs to Withings, and it matters more than spec fans admit. Withings has spent years building connected scales, its accuracy claims are independently referenced, and its support and app updates have a long history behind them.

The Herz P1 is the newer name. Its hardware is capable and its feature set is generous, but WuzuTech doesn’t have that track record yet, and its return policy is strict: buyers report returns must be sealed and unopened, with the buyer paying return shipping, plus some slow customer-service replies.

If the tiebreaker for you is a brand you can trust to still be supporting the app in three years, Withings takes it. The Herz P1 answers with a lower price and more features for the money.
