Cost
"Cheapest" depends on what you want to learn. A low kit price buys a short list, so we show both the price and the cost per measured marker. Every service, kit or lab draw, is ranked on our price page and on the best blood tests page.
At-home kits ranked by price
| Kit | Price | Measured markers | Per measured marker | Sample |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LetsGetChecked Cholesterol Test | $89 ("only $89", read 2026-11-06) | Not itemised here | n/a | Home sample |
| LetsGetChecked Diabetes and Heart | $99 | 5 | $19.80 | Finger prick |
| LetsGetChecked Thyroid Antibody | $119 | 5 | $23.80 | Finger prick |
| LetsGetChecked Female Hormone | $139 | 4 | $34.75 | Finger prick |
| LetsGetChecked Male Hormone Advanced | $179 | 3 | $59.67 | Finger prick |
| LetsGetChecked Male Hormone Complete | $199 | 5 | $39.80 | Finger prick plus saliva |
| Everlywell Men's Health Test | $249 (read 2026-11-05) | 4 | $62.25 (our arithmetic) | Saliva |
| Everlywell Women's Health Test | $249 | 10 | $24.90 | Finger prick plus saliva |
| myLAB Box Women's Health | $259 | Not itemised | n/a | Finger prick and saliva |
The LetsGetChecked colon cancer (FIT) kit is a stool test, so it is left out. The cholesterol kit price comes from LetsGetChecked's test list, which does not itemise it; we do not count markers we cannot read.
Subscription kits: priced per year
| Kit | Cost per test | Yearly cost | Measured markers | Per measured marker |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rythm | $79 per test ("$79/test", Rythm), plus shipping and tax | $948 for 12 tests | 23 | $41.22 |
| SiPhox Longevity Essentials | Per cycle, plus shipping each time | $298 for 2 cycles | 22 | $13.55 |
| SiPhox Ultimate 360 | Per cycle, plus shipping each time | $548 for 2 cycles | 42 | $13.05 |
These are priced for a full year, so they only make sense if you want repeat testing. SiPhox says you can "test at your pace - monthly, quarterly, or every 6 months" (SiPhox); its yearly figure here is the slowest cadence, our arithmetic, so testing more often costs more. For one-off needs, a single-purpose kit above is cheaper.
How an at-home blood test works
You order a kit online, and it arrives with a lancet (a small spring-loaded needle), a collection tube or card, and a prepaid return envelope. You prick a fingertip, fill the tube or card with a few drops, and mail it back the same day. A lab runs the sample, and the results appear in an app or online account. Upper-arm devices, such as the one SiPhox and Rythm use, work the same way but draw a larger sample without a finger prick.
What you pay for is the lab work plus the kit, the shipping both ways and the online report. That is why a kit that measures one or two things can cost as much as a broad lab panel bought at a store.
Is a lab draw cheaper than a kit?
Usually, per marker. A broad panel bought at a lab store usually costs less per marker than a one-off kit above, and many single tests are cheaper than the kit versions. See the all-in single-test tables on our biomarkers page and the cheapest full blood panel guide. What a kit buys you is convenience: no trip to a patient service center.
What the low price leaves out
- Fewer markers. Kits measure a handful. A yearly lab panel can measure dozens.
- Shipping and tax. Rythm lists "+ shipping & tax" on its price and does not publish the amounts; SiPhox charges shipping per cycle.
- Sample type. A finger prick is capillary blood and can differ from a venous draw; saliva measures something different from blood. See our accuracy comparison of kits.
- Lab. Pick kits that name a CLIA-certified lab. You can look any lab up on the CMS CLIA lookup. CLIA shows the lab meets federal quality standards, not that a test is right for you.
- State limits. SiPhox does not serve New York or Hawaii, and LetsGetChecked does not sell its male hormone kit in New York, per their own pages. Check our state pages.
Which cheap kit suits which goal
- One narrow question, lowest cost: a single-purpose kit such as Cholesterol or Diabetes and Heart.
- Repeat tracking through the year: Rythm or SiPhox, priced per year above.
- A broad overview: skip kits and compare lab panels on /best.

Questions
FAQ
What is the cheapest at-home blood test?
By sticker price, a single-purpose kit: LetsGetChecked's Cholesterol Test is listed lowest on its test page, and its Diabetes and Heart kit is the cheapest we can itemise at $99. Per measured marker, SiPhox Ultimate 360 is lowest at $13.05, but it is a yearly subscription.
Is an at-home blood test cheaper than going to a lab?
Per marker, a lab draw is usually cheaper, especially for broad panels. Kits trade that for convenience. Compare the same marker in our biomarker price tables before you buy a kit.
Are cheap at-home blood tests accurate?
Price does not predict accuracy. What matters is the lab and the sample: finger-prick results can differ from a venous draw, and saliva is a different measure from blood. Look for a named CLIA-certified lab and repeat any surprising result at a lab.
Do at-home kits include shipping?
It varies. Rythm shows "+ shipping & tax" without publishing amounts, SiPhox charges shipping per testing cycle, and myLAB Box says shipping is free over a threshold on its own page. Confirm the total at checkout.
Can I use HSA or FSA money for an at-home blood test?
Several kit sellers say they accept HSA or FSA cards. Eligibility depends on your plan, so ask your administrator. Our HSA and FSA guide covers what each service says.
Do at-home kits work in every state?
No. SiPhox does not serve New York or Hawaii, and some LetsGetChecked hormone kits are not sold in New York. Check the seller's state list at checkout. Looking for sexual health kits specifically? See STD test cost. See current prices for every service on our price page. Cheaper is only worth it if the sample is good: see are at-home blood tests accurate.
