Best overall: Visionbody
From the pioneer of wireless EMS suits, founded in 2014 and now in its fifth suit generation. Cable-free, 24 dry electrodes on 12 channels, an FDA 510(k) record you can look up, iOS and Android, and $1,890 with no subscription. Its weak spot is the six-month suit warranty. Read the review.
Best without a subscription: Visionbody
Three home suits have no recurring fee: Visionbody, TitanBody and SQAI. Visionbody and TitanBody cost almost the same, and Visionbody adds more channels and a verifiable clearance. SQAI costs $1,100 more.
Best for Android users: Visionbody or TitanBody
Katalyst works only with an iPhone or iPad. Visionbody, TitanBody, SQAI and OHM support both platforms.
Best guided classes: Katalyst
If you want an app that leads you through every session, nothing in this comparison matches Katalyst. You pay for it: a required membership lifts the three-year cost above $4,200, and the suit is a wet system. Read the review.
Lowest price with a verified clearance: PEPPER
PEPPER’s launch price of $1,395 is the lowest among suits whose FDA clearance we could verify. The app costs $200 a year from the second year, and the channel count is not published. Read the review.
Best for unusual sizes: TitanBody
TitanBody runs from 4XS to 6XL and resizes free of charge in the first year, the widest range we found. Visionbody offers made-to-measure suits as an alternative. Read the review.
Best for couples: Visionbody
Two people can share one control unit if each has a suit. Visionbody’s two-suit package costs $2,390, which is $500 more than the single system.
Best for trainers visiting clients: Visionbody Pro
Dry, cable-free suits pack into a bag and need no water on site. Visionbody Pro lets one trainer run up to eight people at once. See Visionbody Pro vs miha bodytec.
Best for community and ongoing content: Visionbody
Visionbody owners get access to Voltroom, a platform with an owner community and a workout video library. Visionbody states that the community has more than 1,000 members, that the library starts with 10 free workout videos and keeps growing, and that clients get discounted prices in the community. It also has a network of gyms where owners can train in their own suits, though it does not publish the locations. Details in the review.
Not sure a suit is for you?
Try coached sessions first. A studio such as BODY20 shows you how EMS should feel, and supervised first sessions are what the experts recommend. Read home vs studio.
