How Does Fitbit Pay Compare to the Competition?
Fitbit Pay is most similar to Apple Pay and Google Pay in that it works any place that accepts contactless payments. Samsung Pay sets itself apart since it has technology that makes it compatible with any retailer that takes credit cards. However, while Apple Pay works on iPhones, Google Pay on Android smartphones, and Samsung Pay on Samsung phones, Fitbit Pay is available only on the wrist. Apple Pay and Google Pay also have the option to send money to friends, just like you can with Venmo. You can even use Google Assistant or Siri to make peer-to-peer payments, such as “Pay Janet $12” or “Send money to Johnny.” The other difference is that Fitbit Pay stores only credit or debit cards. Apple, Google, and Samsung Pay each allow you to store loyalty, membership, rewards, and gift cards in your digital wallet. In some areas, you can also store transit passes. In other words, Fitbit Pay’s three main competitors can store most of the cards in your physical wallet.
