Almost everyone in this category sells you the blood test. Decode reads the one you already have. So most of these are less a contest than a split of the work. Pick the one that matches where you are standing. Every price comes from that company’s own pages on the date shown.

Head to head
-
Decode vs Function Health
$365 for the first year and 160+ lab tests, with a clinician reading every line. Against $12.99 a month and no draw at all.
-
Decode vs Superpower
$199 a year, the cheapest membership here — and the only one that sells the supplements its own protocol recommends.
-
Decode vs InsideTracker
The closest match here: InsideTracker already reads labs you bring it. The split is whether a model set your target or a person did, on video.
-
Decode vs Mito Health
$9 a month with labs at cost and clinicians you can text. Two subscriptions a few dollars apart, doing opposite halves of the job.

Superpower alternatives
Superpower is already the cheapest membership with a panel in it. So two things pull people away: a clinician on every result, or a reading with no shop attached.
Who decided where “fine” stops
Every product here will tell you a result is fine or not fine. Somebody decided where fine stops. That decision is the product.
A testing membership answers with its own clinicians or its own model. It has to — that range is part of what you bought. Decode quotes one of 12 physicians and research scientists who said the number out loud, and plays you the moment they said it. Decode sells no test and no range of its own, so it can afford to point somewhere else.
Where nobody has said it, Decode adds nothing. The lab’s own range stands and the page tells you so. Of the 98 biomarkers in Decode’s library, 25 carry a range a named physician or research scientist stated on the record. That is 57 quotes, each linked to the moment it was said. See every one at all biomarkers.
They all have a chat now. The difference is what sits behind the answer.
Superpower runs an AI chat with context on your health. Mito has Concierge, which hands you to a clinician when it needs to. Function has a member chat and says it gives no medical advice. So everyone has one.
Every answer Decode gives comes from a doctor on video. Every factual claim arrives with the person who said it and a link that opens the video there. When the library holds nothing on your question, the answer says so.
Decode is not a clinician and never claims to be. It has no care team and no consults. It never diagnoses. What it has is a way to check every sentence it gives you.
Common questions
Is Decode a blood testing company?
No. Decode draws no blood and sells no panels. It is an iPhone app that reads a lab report you already have: a photo, a PDF, or Apple Health. It puts each of your numbers next to a figure a named physician stated on the record. It checks the supplements you take against your results.
Which blood testing membership is cheapest in 2026?
Mito Health has the lowest subscription at $9 a month and passes labs through at cost. A Core Panel is $197.62 on top for members. Superpower is $199 a year with 100+ biomarkers already in it, so it is the cheapest membership that comes with the panel. Function Health is $365 for the first year and covers 160+ lab tests. InsideTracker is $149 a year for the platform, plus $340 and up per test. Prices verified against each company’s own pages on 11 August 2026.
Do I need one of these if my doctor already runs bloodwork?
If you get labs from your doctor every year, the test is not what you are short of. The reading is. Decode covers that case at $12.99 a month with no new draw. It reads reports going back years.
Does Decode diagnose or give medical advice?
No. Decode reports what named physicians and research scientists have said on the record and puts your number next to theirs. It is educational, not medical advice. Talk to your doctor before you change anything.
