Default WW Online Vs WW at Home (what is diff)

I don't get the difference between the two.. Can someone help me figure out which I should choose?
What if I got the app downloaded to my phone, which should I join? or join at all?

I am using the online version-- i am happy with it, but if my work allowed me to choose a local meeting, I would do that for the support. Instead, I am here!!

Online there is a subscription that allows you to utilize the weight watchers site. Then there is going to meetings that have a monthly fee. If you get monthly pass you go to meetings and are able to use etools.

*I have been corrected. WW at home is available to those who do not have a meeting near them.

I go to meetings for the accountability, but have also had success just online.

I was under the impression that there is some sort of at home kit people can buy if they do it at home but now since I have the monthly pass, I can't see it in the online store anymore. Personally, the online only works well for me. If you have an iphone or another phone that supports the full smartphone app, then it's even easier to track everything and you don't even need the calculator or the sets of books. It's also really simple to switch from online only to a monthly pass so you can go to meet ings if you decide to do so.

WW At Home is only if you do not have meetings available within a certain mile radius of your home. If you have an available meeting, then you are not eligible to sign up.

If you are eligible for WW at Home, then if you sign up they will mail you all the info that you would have gotten at the meeting - the book explaining the program, food guides, weekly booklets, etc.

If you do the online, you don't get any printed matter, but you have access to all of their online offerings, like e-tools, recipes, etc.

By the way - yes I would join over just using the app on the phone. The support and the ideas and the accountability are really what makes the program tick.

I've been using Online since I don't drive and there is no meeting near my work or home. You have to really be accountable for yourself, so if you're worried you might need some extra support for accountability, it's probably better to go to a meeting.
