What PEPPER is
PEPPER launched in the United States in June 2026. The starter bundle contains the suit, the power box, a charger, 12 months of app access and one coaching session, at a launch price of $1,395 against a regular price of $1,995.[1]
What we know, and what we don’t
The suit has 20 dry electrodes and a wireless power box that lasts about ten workouts per charge. It is machine-washable and comes in sizes 3XS to 3XL.[1] The FDA database confirms clearance K233770 for the “Pepper EMS Training System”, granted to Pepper Interactive Inc. on 16 January 2025.[2] That is a real plus: only a few home brands have a clearance you can look up.
What PEPPER does not publish is the number of independent channels, or the frequency and pulse-width range. Under our rules, unpublished figures earn no points, which is the main reason PEPPER scores below Visionbody and TitanBody on technology.
The real cost
After the first year the app costs $200 a year, according to the company’s press release.[3] Over three years that puts PEPPER at about $1,795 at the launch price, still the cheapest cleared suit in our comparison. See the three-year cost table.
Who should buy it
PEPPER suits buyers who want a cleared, dry suit at the lowest price and do not mind an annual app fee. If you want published stimulation parameters and more channels, look at Visionbody vs PEPPER.
How PEPPER scores
- Stimulation technology, 6.5: Wireless with 20 dry electrodes. No points for channels beyond the basics or for parameter range, because neither the channel count nor frequency and pulse width are published.
- Control and software, 6.0: App with a coaching session included. Few details are published about per-channel control or the programme library.
- Comfort, hygiene and care, 9.0: Dry, machine-washable, sizes 3XS to 3XL.
- Safety and certification, 6.5: FDA 510(k) K233770 verified in the FDA database. No ISO 13485 or CE information published.
- Cost and ownership, 6.5: Lowest entry price and a 30-day trial. The app becomes a paid subscription after year one, the warranty is one year, and the US launch was only in June 2026.

- FDA 510(k) K233770 verified in the FDA database

Verdict
PEPPER is the most interesting new arrival: properly cleared, dry and affordable. Until it publishes its channel count and parameter range, we cannot rate its stimulation technology as highly as Visionbody’s.
