Frequently asked questions
How much is the Tonal membership?
$59.95 a month plus tax, with a 12-month initial commitment, as shown on tonal.com on November 14, 2026. A one-year membership product is also listed at $719.40.
What happens after the 12 months?
Tonal's FAQ says the membership is required for the first 12 months after installation. It also says most features need an active membership, so cancelling after a year leaves you with fewer features; Tonal's pages do not list which ones remain.
How much does a Tonal cost over 5 years?
$3,295 for the Tonal 2, $495 of required accessories, $295 installation and 60 months at $59.95: $7,682 before tax [calc, prices of Nov 14, 2026]. With only the 12 required months, $4,804.40.
