Bottom line

Using the current direct-sale prices and a 3-month head replacement interval, our transparent model estimates about $158.88 for SURI Pro 2.0 versus $224.94 for Oral-B iO Series 3 over three years. That is a scenario, not a guaranteed spend—sale prices and replacement-head deals can change.

Where SURI wins

  • Lower replacement-head cost in the current direct-price snapshot.
  • Long-battery/travel positioning and slim aluminum design.
  • 100-day trial language published by SURI.
  • Plant-based head/recycling proposition creates a real differentiation beyond app features.

Where Oral-B wins

  • Lower current handle price.
  • Broad retail availability and a large installed ecosystem.
  • Round oscillating-rotating iO head rather than SURI's sonic format—some buyers strongly prefer one motion/style.
  • Frequent retailer promotions can materially reduce the ownership-cost gap.
