Whisker+ pricing: check your included months first
Compare Whisker+ monthly and yearly fees, check which Litter-Robot purchases include membership time, and avoid treating a trial as a full-year price.
Before paying for Whisker+, check whether your Litter-Robot purchase already includes membership time. Whisker’s US page lists one year with Litter-Robot 5 Pro and its bundles, and six months with other Litter-Robot bundles. Buying an individual Litter-Robot 4, 5 or EVO does not include a membership; Whisker+ can be added separately. Included membership offers.
Once you need paid time, the listed choices are $7.99 monthly or $79.90 upfront for a year. Ten monthly payments equal the annual fee. The annual plan costs less than 12 monthly payments, but it asks you to pay for the year at once. These are published US prices checked November 9, 2026, not a test of a subscriber account. Whisker+ plans.
Start with the purchase you actually made
| Purchase on Whisker’s current US page | Included Whisker+ time |
|---|---|
| Litter-Robot 5 Pro, alone or in a bundle | One year |
| Other Litter-Robot bundles | Six months |
| Individual Litter-Robot 4, 5 or EVO | None included; membership sold separately |
The table describes the site’s current offers, not a promise about an earlier order. Compare the exact product listing and your purchase confirmation. Whisker says activation is available in its app after onboarding a compatible device, or through My Whisker+ in your account if the app does not prompt you. Purchase and activation FAQ.
One membership covers all compatible devices at no extra device charge, according to Whisker. Its current list is Litter-Robot 4, 5, 5 Pro and EVO. Before adding a plan for a second robot, check the membership you already have. Do not assume the offer covers every older Whisker device. Compatibility and multiple-device FAQ.
Compare paid months, not the trial headline
Whisker advertises a 30-day free trial that renews at $7.99 a month. Included bundle time and a trial are different offers; check which one your activation screen actually gives you. Trial offer.
Here is our calculation for paid membership time only, using the listed fees:
| Paid time you want to compare | Monthly payments | One prepaid year |
|---|---|---|
| Nine months | 9 × $7.99 = $71.91 | $79.90 |
| Ten months | 10 × $7.99 = $79.90 | $79.90 |
| Twelve months | 12 × $7.99 = $95.88 | $79.90 |
Over 12 paid months, the annual fee is $15.98 less. This is not a first-year checkout quote: the table excludes device cost, taxes, promotions, the trial and any included membership period. It compares one annual payment with the stated number of monthly payments, not the price of a shorter annual plan. The inputs come from Whisker’s listed plans; the arithmetic is ours.
Decide what paid feature you want before choosing a billing period. For example, Whisker lists up to five minutes of daily live video without Whisker+, versus unlimited daily streaming with it. That comparison applies to camera-enabled devices such as Litter-Robot 5 Pro, not every compatible robot. Some previously included features remain free; a paid membership is not the price of every app function. We have not tested video performance or the company’s pet-insight claims. Free and paid feature FAQ.
Keep one renewal note
Whisker advertises pausing or canceling membership at any time. Its terms also say Whisker+ payment, renewal and cancellation conditions are communicated at enrollment. Check those conditions before prepaying; do not assume that canceling an annual membership refunds unused months. Membership page, Whisker App and Whisker+ subscription terms.
Our suggested account note is short:
- Which purchase or trial supplied your included time, if any.
- The activation date and exact renewal date shown in your account.
- The next amount due and whether billing is monthly or annual.
- Where to manage the plan, plus any cancellation confirmation you save.
For the pet budget planner, enter $7.99 as a monthly expense or $79.90 as an annual expense if that is your chosen plan. Do not enter both for the same membership. The budget guide explains how those intervals become a yearly total; neither tool changes your subscription.
