Compare Lab Tests

imaware

At-home fingerprick kits from $79, with the cheapest single-marker tests in this section. Their homepage now sells white-label testing to businesses rather than kits to shoppers — the consumer catalogue still takes orders, but it is no longer the front door, so check the price is still live before buying.

New York is excluded by state regulation, stated in each product's own FAQ.

This site is built to earn affiliate commission, but no vendor link or promo code here currently pays one — every link goes plainly to the vendor's site, and this notice will change when that changes. Commissions never affect the prices shown or the order of results — every table sorts on price, and vendors cannot pay for placement.

Panels and pricing

Ordering from imaware

Who it suits

Someone who wants a specific panel cheaply and does not need the vendor to still be a consumer brand. imaware makes the strongest paperwork claim of the six thinnest profiles here — "we provide physician orders for every test in every state (even those that do not require them)" — and runs samples through "CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited labs, the gold standard in lab testing quality regulation", in its own words. What it no longer looks like is a shop; see below.

How ordering works

Fingerprick collection — "just a few drops of blood from the fingertip" — then "Use the prepaid packaging to ship your sample to our top-tier lab on the same day as collection". Results come back by email: "You'll receive an email from us within 7 business days of your sample return." imaware states that "all our test results are reviewed by a physician during the lab analysis process".

What to watch for

The same-day return is an instruction, not a suggestion, so collect on a day you can post. New York is out on every kit: "Unfortunately, this test is not available in the state of New York due to state regulations." And the business has pivoted — the homepage now sells white-label testing to companies rather than kits to shoppers. The consumer catalogue still takes orders and the prices here were read off it, but nothing on the product pages states a refund policy, and a catalogue that is no longer the front door is one to re-check at checkout.

How imaware compares

imaware sells into 3 of the comparison sets tracked here, against 4 other vendors. Each set below lists the ones nearest on price to imaware’s cheapest entry in it — at most four, one panel each — low to high. Same set means the same question, not the same test: two men’s health panels can cover very different markers, so read the counts beside the prices. Every link below goes to another profile on this site; none of them is a tracked link.
