Cheerful, Relaxing, Energizing, Romantic, Cozy, or Clean.

Pura Subscription Benefits and Drawbacks

• Diffusers have space for 2 scents so you can change according to your mood with your smartphone

Is the Pura Subscription Worth It?

Scents can set the mood for any occasion. You can change a sad mood into a happy one just by smelling a fragrance or turn on the romance with a certain smell. Traditional candles provide a certain ambiance, but they can be a fire hazard, especially around kids and pets. Plus, some designer fragrances can cost upwards of $80 for one candle. Pura solves all of these problems with its smart fragrance diffuser that you can control from your smartphone. And when you subscribe to a scent, you save 20% off of MSRP. So if setting the vibe in your home with fragrances, then, yes, Pura is definitely worth keeping a positive vibe in your house.

Pura Tips

When you download the app, you have full control over your Pura devices from your smartphone. There are 2 fragrances per diffuser so you can switch to one of the other depending on your mood. You can also change the nightlight color from your smartphone and pick the intensity of your scent. You can also set custom schedules and timers.

Pura also offers exclusive bundles for purchase. You get 10% off and each bundle includes at least one diffuser and 2 scents. The bundles are not a part of the subscription plan, but do make amazing gifts!

When you open a Pura account, you are automatically enrolled in Pura’s points program. You get 2 points on subscription purchases and 1 point on everything else. Once you earn 400 points, you get a $10 credit on your account. You can also earn points by following Pura on social media, writing a review, taking a survey, and referring a friend.

Speaking of referring a friend, Pura has a referral program. When your friend, you get 240 points! Win, win!

Pura also offers gift cards for purchase. Increments are $10, $25, $50, and $100. Unfortunately, gift cards can not be used on subscription orders at this time, but make an awesome gift for that friend or relative that is hard to shop for.

How The Pura Subscription Compares to Other Home Fragrance Subscriptions

Pura versus AERA

AERA is another home fragrance subscription on the market that offers similar technology with their Smart Fragrance Electric Diffuser. The main difference between the 2 is how much they cost and how long they last.

AERA’s Smart Fragrance Diffuser is about $200 whereas Pura’s diffuser is only $49.99. The scent cartridges for Pura fragrances average about $15 and AERA’s are about $50 on average. Pura’s cartridges last approximately 300 hours and AERA’s can last up to 800 hours.

Another advantage of Pura is that Pura offers scents from designer brands and AERA only offers its own private label scents.

So which is the better home fragrance subscription? If you know you absolutely love an AERA scent and you don’t want to have to worry about changing your diffuser as often, AERA is a good deal if you can afford it. If you like to save money and try different scents, then Pura is your best bet.
