Decision guide
Choose the TechRing if you want data on your erections; choose the Performance Ring or MaxPR if you only want firmer, longer-lasting erections. All three give the same kind of performance support. The $215 price gap buys sensors, an app, overnight tracking and a longer warranty.

A smart ring like the FirmTech TechRing is worth it if you will use the data: to track nighttime erections, see how sleep, alcohol or medication affect you, or share results with a doctor. If you just want the performance effect, the $60 Performance Ring or MaxPR does that without charging or an app.
Ask yourself
| Question | Points to the TechRing | Points to a $60 ring |
|---|---|---|
| Do you want to know what is happening, or just have it work? | Know: firmness, duration and nighttime erections in an app. | Just work: put it on and go. |
| Will you wear it overnight? | Yes: the TechRing is built and studied for overnight wear. | No: the Performance Ring is rated 12 hours but does not record anything. |
| Are you trying a treatment and want to see if it helps? | Yes: log medication, drinks, sleep and workouts against your score. | No: you only want firmer, longer erections. |
| How much do you want to spend? | $275, or $295 with a second ring. | $60 for the Performance Ring or MaxPR. |
Why track
Erections depend on blood vessels, hormones and nerves working together, which is why FirmTech treats them as a health signal. Published figures show how common erection problems are: according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, about 40% of men have ED by age 40, climbing to roughly 70% by age 70, as cited by RXSleeve.
Medication does not work for everyone: up to 40% of men do not get a satisfactory response from PDE5 inhibitors like Viagra or Cialis, according to a review in the Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine, as cited by RXSleeve. Tracking can help you and your doctor see what is and is not working.
Can't pick?
Yes. FirmTech sells bundles that pair the TechRing with a simple ring, so you can track some nights and just use a ring on others. Prices from the FirmTech bundles page, as of November 2026.

This guide was written by FirmTech, which makes all three rings it compares. It is not an independent review and no outside audit or lab test was done for it. Every ring is judged on the same six criteria, using the same kind of fact for each: the product details FirmTech publishes on getfirmtech.com.
The order ranks breadth of features, not quality for every buyer. A ring lower on the list can still be the right choice for your goal. Read the full methodology.
FAQ
Only if you want data. Every FirmTech ring supports firmer, longer-lasting erections; tracking is what sets the TechRing apart.

FirmTech says many men use the TechRing alongside other treatments and use the app to see what is working. FirmTech also presented research at ISSM 2024 comparing PDE5 inhibitors, the Performance Ring and both together. Talk to your doctor about your specific situation before combining treatments.
