Hemoglobin A1c test cost
Hemoglobin A1c is sold on its own by 4 of the 27 vendors tracked here, from $4 at Goodlabs if you go to a lab. The cheapest at-home kit for the same marker is $49 — 12.3× the price, for a fingerprick sample instead of a venous draw.
It is also included in 36 of the panels tracked here, where it costs whatever the panel costs. Buying one marker on its own is cheaper only if it is genuinely the only one you want.
In-Lab Blood Tests

Why the same marker costs so differently
A venous draw and a fingerprick kit measure the same thing by different routes. The lab price is for the assay; the kit price also covers the collection device, shipping both ways and the lab's handling of a smaller sample. Whether that convenience is worth the difference is your call — this page exists so it is a call you can make with the numbers in front of you rather than one at a time.
Every price here carries the date it was last confirmed against the vendor's own page, and the Hemoglobin A1c row in each table links to the vendor profile it came from. The methodology page explains how they are checked.
