Both are subscription-free rings with long batteries, so this is a value-vs-features decision, not a subscription argument. The Ultrahuman Ring Pro is the premium option — on-ring processing, richer metrics, ~15-day battery, $479. The RingConn Gen 2 is the value pick — solid tracking, a 10–12-day battery and no subscription for about $180 less ($299).
Ultrahuman Ring Pro or RingConn Gen 2: which is better?

The short version
Two subscription-free rings, different tiers. The Ultrahuman Ring Pro is the premium option (~$479, ~15-day battery, on-ring processing); the RingConn Gen 2 is the value pick ($299, 10–12-day battery, solid tracking).
When is the Ultrahuman Ring Pro the right pick?
You want the richer feature set, onboard processing and the longest battery, and the higher price is acceptable.
When is the RingConn Gen 2 the right pick?
You want a subscription-free ring with a long battery and dependable tracking for about $180 less — the value pick.
Both are subscription-free with long batteries. The Ring Pro is the premium pick (more features, on-ring processing, ~15-day battery, $479); the RingConn Gen 2 is the value pick (solid tracking, 10–12-day battery, $299). If budget matters most, RingConn; if you want the richer ring, Ring Pro.
Is the Ring Pro worth about 60% more than the RingConn?
Only if you value the extra features, processing and slightly longer battery. For core sleep-and-HRV tracking without a subscription, the RingConn Gen 2 delivers most of the everyday benefit for about $180 less.
Are both available in the US?
Yes. RingConn settled its patent dispute with Oura and stays on sale, and the redesigned Ultrahuman Ring Pro is US-available (unlike the older Ultrahuman Ring Air, which is under a US import ban).
