What Superpower costs, to the dollar

Why New York and New Jersey pay $399

Members in New York and New Jersey pay $399 a year rather than $199 — roughly double. The code still takes the same flat $20 off, bringing it to $379.

Superpower's own site says only that pricing "may vary" by state rather than publishing the NY/NJ figure, so treat $399 as the consistently reported number and confirm it at checkout before paying. Both states regulate direct-to-consumer lab testing more tightly than the rest of the country, and the same two states cost more at Function Health too — this is a feature of where you live, not of which service you pick.

Is Superpower HSA/FSA eligible?

Yes. The membership is HSA/FSA eligible, which is the single largest legitimate saving available on it — considerably larger than any discount code, including mine.

Depending on your marginal rate, paying with pre-tax dollars is commonly worth 25-35% of the price, against the $20 the code takes off. The two stack: use the code at checkout, then pay with the HSA/FSA card. Request an itemized receipt from Superpower (members@superpower.com) if your administrator wants documentation for reimbursement. Insurance is not currently accepted.

What the add-ons cost

The membership covers one annual panel. Two extras have published prices, and they are the two most people actually hit:

Another full 100+ panel, same membership year

$179

Mobile phlebotomist, drawn at your home instead of Quest

+$119

Beyond those, Superpower sells specialty panels — gut health, environmental toxins, cancer-risk screening and others — ordered à la carte from inside the app. It does not publish their prices publicly, saying only that additional tests "can cost up to twice as much" as the membership. I am not going to repeat the specific figures floating around third-party review sites, because I have not seen them at a checkout and neither has anyone quoting them.

The practical version: $179 is the real number for what most people want — one comprehensive annual panel, drawn at a Quest location, read in the app. If you plan to add specialty panels, treat their pricing as an unknown to confirm in-app before committing, not as a published rate card.

How the price compares to buying tests yourself

You can order individual blood tests directly from consumer lab menus without a membership. For a handful of markers, that's often the cheaper route. But pricing out a panel anywhere near 100+ markers à la carte adds up quickly (individual specialty tests commonly run $30 to $90 each), and you'd still be interpreting raw PDFs yourself. The membership's real economics: a large panel at a flat price, plus software that makes the numbers readable and comparable year over year. If you'd rather run that arithmetic than take my word for it, à la carte prices across the consumer lab menus are tabulated here.

The comparison people ask about more often isn't à la carte testing, though — it's Function Health, which costs roughly double and tests you twice a year. That one's worked through side by side, including the parts where they come out ahead.

So is it worth $179?

My honest answer, as a paying member: it depends on whether you'll actually use the results. If you want a comprehensive annual baseline and an app that turns it into something you can act on and track, then yes. It's the best version of that I've used, and I say that having tried several Quest-based services. The full review has the specifics, including the parts that annoyed me. If you just want one or two markers checked, order those individually and skip the membership.
