FDA cleared means the FDA found the device substantially equivalent to one already on the market. It is a real regulatory review you can look up by its number, and it is not a promise of any particular fitness result. Affiliate link: we may earn a commission at no cost to you.
A home EMS suit runs from about $399 for an unbranded factory suit to $3,490 for the Visionbody Double in the US, and the number at the centre of the serious bracket is $1,890: the US price of the Visionbody Single, down from a $2,490 list price, with code ROUTINES50 taking $50 off. Below $830 you are buying factory suits with no published FDA clearance. Above $8,500 you are buying studio hardware.
Sticker price settles half the question. Two systems can start close together and finish thousands apart three years later, because one bills you every month and the other publishes no recurring fee. So here is the category priced properly, with recurring costs added back in and the market named on every Visionbody figure.

These are manufacturer prices in the currency of the market that sells them. Converting between them is how buyers quote numbers no store has charged.
| System | Up front | Published recurring cost | Electrodes | FDA 510(k) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Visionbody Single (1 suit, 1 PowerBox) | $1,890 US, was $2,490. €1.790 in Europe, was €2.490 | None published | 24 dry, 12 channels | K222386 |
| Visionbody Duo (2 suits, 1 PowerBox) | $2,390 US. €2.290 on visionbody.eu, €2.390 on the DACH store | None published | 24 dry, 12 channels | K222386 |
| Visionbody Double (2 suits, 2 PowerBoxes) | $3,490 US, was $4,990. €3.490 in Europe | None published | 24 dry, 12 channels | K222386 |
| Katalyst | $2,999 | Mandatory, $35 to $49 per month | 26, iOS only | K171035 and K181199 |
| TitanBody | $1,895, regular price $2,495 | None | 20 dry zones, 10 channels | No record found in our search |
| SQAI | $2,795 | None | Wet system | No record found in our search |
| ANTELOPE | About €999 on sale (Europe) | None published | 18 | Not verified by us |
| SBODY, BruteSuits, factory suits | $399 to $830 | Not published | Varies by model | None published |
| Wiemspro, XBody, studio rigs | $8,500 to $20,000 and up | Not published | Pro configurations | Not verified by us |
The serious consumer bracket is narrow: almost everything worth owning sits between $1,890 and $2,999 in the US, and clearance does not track price. Visionbody is the cheapest cleared system here and runs 12 channels against the 10 TitanBody publishes. Clearance means the FDA found a device substantially equivalent to one already legally marketed, not that it approved it.
What Visionbody costs in your market
There are three storefronts, not one global store. visionbody.com serves the US in dollars, visionbody.eu serves the rest of Europe in euros with British visitors routed there, and visionbodyshop.com serves Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
In the US the Single is $1,890 with free shipping across the USA from Miami: 2 to 3 business days of processing plus 3 to 5 working days in transit. In Europe it is €1.790 on both the EU and DACH stores. There is no UK storefront and no GBP price, so British buyers pay in euros and cover customs, duties and import VAT. Batteries cannot ship to the UK, Arabian countries, Africa, Asia or Russia, so buy the LP-E10 locally.
ROUTINES50 takes $50 off at checkout. If it bounces, the cause is structural rather than a dead code: seasonal pricing applies automatically and a cart takes one code at a time, so clear the cart and enter it first.
Subscriptions are the price you pay twice
Here is where the category separates. Katalyst is the only system on this list with a published mandatory membership, at $35 to $49 per month, and that line is the biggest variable in the real cost.
| Three year cost, US pricing | Up front | Membership over 3 years | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visionbody Single | $1,890 | $0 published | $1,890 |
| TitanBody | $1,895 | $0 | $1,895 |
| SQAI | $2,795 | $0 | $2,795 |
| Katalyst | $2,999 | $1,260 to $1,764 | $4,259 to $4,763 |
The gap between top and bottom is $2,369 to $2,873 over three years, which is another entire suit. Some buyers want the structure a membership buys, so treat the fee as a trade rather than a trap.
The app comes with the system and is listed in the package contents. No membership and no recurring fee is published on any of the three storefronts, and Visionbody's own comparison table lists paid membership and hidden fees as not applicable. That is why the row reads $1,890 flat. See current Visionbody pricing here.
The $399 suits and the $8,500 rigs
At the bottom of the range, SBODY, BruteSuits and the white-label suits filling marketplace listings sell for $399 to $830 with no published FDA clearance. That is the whole story of the discount: no number to look up, nothing to check. Fine as a tinkerer's experiment, weak as the thing you train on twice a week for three years.
At the top, Wiemspro and XBody build studio grade equipment at $8,500 to $20,000 and up. That is priced for a business that resells sessions. If you have been quoted that for home use, you are being sold a studio.
The ongoing costs nobody quotes you
- Replacement suit: the Ultimate Suit 5.0, the 12 channel garment itself, is $489 in the US. Its struck-through price is also $489, so that crossed-out figure is no saving. Treat $489 as the price.
- Support Belt: $39 in the US, optional.
- Battery: Visionbody doesn't sell batteries. The LP-E10 is user replaceable and Canon compatible at 7.4V, 900 to 1100 mAh, widely stocked in the US.
- PowerBox: not sold separately anywhere, so there is no standalone price to plan for.
- Consumables: none. The 24 electrodes are dry, so no gel and no wetting step, unlike a wet system. You train in a thin seamless layer, nothing padded or underwired.
Warranty comes in three tiers. The PowerBox carries a 3 year limited warranty. Functional components, meaning electrodes, wiring and the connection plate, are covered for 6 months or 100 wash cycles. The textile is covered for 30 days. Treat 100 washes as a warranty limit rather than a durability rating: Visionbody advises washing every 2 to 3 sessions, so a regular owner reaches 100 cycles well inside the product's life. Returns run 21 days from delivery.
How to pay for it in the US
US buyers get the most useful option in the category: a deposit plan with no credit check. You pay $890 today and $1,000 on delivery, $1,890 total, with the balance charged to the same card on shipping. That is a payment schedule rather than credit. Shop Pay Installments are offered at US checkout too, with the terms shown there.
Outside the US, plan on paying in full. No installment financing is offered on the European or DACH stores, and since British buyers are routed to the EU store, there is none in the UK either.
So what should you actually pay?
For most people, $1,890 in the US or €1.790 in Europe for the Visionbody Single, with ROUTINES50 taking $50 off. That buys 24 dry electrodes across 12 channels, a wireless PowerBox over Bluetooth, USB-C charging that works on any voltage worldwide, and a clearance number you can look up. Designed and manufactured in Germany. The commitment is 20 minute sessions two or three times a week, 48 hours apart.
Visionbody is FDA cleared under 510(k) K222386, granted to Vb Technologies AG in February 2023 as a Class II powered muscle stimulator. The FDA found it substantially equivalent to a legally marketed device, which is what clearance means, and that is not an endorsement of any result. TitanBody advertises FDA clearance without publishing a number, and we searched the database under TitanBody and its known parent and sister brand names without finding a record. Separately, we found no record under the SQAI name. A clearance could exist under a corporate name we did not find, so ask for the K number before you buy.
Price the safety side in too. Whole body EMS is not for everyone: avoid it with a pacemaker or any implanted electronic device, during pregnancy, or with epilepsy, serious heart conditions, active cancer, fever, or open wounds over the electrode areas. It is 18+ only. Excessive intensity carries a documented rhabdomyolysis risk, which is why sessions start at level 0, stay at 20 minutes, and leave 48 hours between them. This is general information, not medical advice, so consult your doctor first.
Keep the modality in proportion. The research, led by Kemmler and von Stengel, uses 20 minute sessions once or twice a week and treats EMS as a supplement to progressive resistance work. Worth reading on PubMed.
