Longevity guides tell you which blood markers matter, ApoB for cardiovascular risk, hs-CRP for inflammation, HbA1c for metabolic health, and then hit a dead end: “take this to your doctor.” You don’t have to. Two direct-to-consumer lab services let you order the exact tests a longevity physician would, on your own, and both run on the same national labs (Quest and Labcorp). The honest question isn’t which is “best”, it’s whether you want the cheapest raw result or a physician order and optional consult included. This page lays out that trade-off with first-party prices.
The Short Version
- Cheapest individual markers: HealthLabs, you get the raw result and take it to your own doctor.
- Physician order + optional consult included: Personalabs, pricier per test, but a doctor reviews and signs the order and you can add a telehealth consult.
- Both use Quest and Labcorp, the blood draw and the lab are the same; what differs is price, physician involvement, and turnaround.

A Note on HealthLabs’ “Was / Now” Prices
HealthLabs displays each test with a higher “regular” price struck through next to the price you actually pay, for example, ApoB shows a crossed-out $118 next to $59, and HbA1c a crossed-out $58 next to $29. We checked directly (July 17, 2026): the lower figure is the standing everyday price, it is the price listed in the site’s own structured data, and there is no countdown timer, “sale ends,” or “limited-time” language anywhere on the pages. So we quote the price you actually pay ($59, $29, $79, $99), not the struck-through anchor, and we don’t treat it as a disappearing discount. If that ever changes to a timed promotion, this page will say so.
HealthLabs, Cheapest Raw Markers
HealthLabs is the lower-cost option on every individual marker we checked, and by a wide margin on ApoB ($59 vs $123). You order online, visit a Quest or Labcorp site, and get results in 1–3 days. The trade-off is right there in its own tagline: it delivers raw results with no physician interpretation, the model is “order it, then take the numbers to your own doctor.”
Refund caveat, stated plainly: HealthLabs allows cancellation within 21 days minus a 20% fee, and no refund after that window. Order only the tests you’re sure you want.
Personalabs, Physician Order and Consult Included
Personalabs costs more per test, but every order comes with a physician-signed lab order, and you can add an optional paid telehealth consult to review your results. For someone who wants a clinician formally in the loop, without booking a full office visit, that is a real, not cosmetic, difference. It also runs on Quest and Labcorp, with results typically in 24–48 hours (complex tests 2–10 days).
Refund caveat: Personalabs allows cancellation within 7 days minus a $20 fee.
Which Should You Choose?
Choose HealthLabs if you already have a doctor to interpret results, you know which markers you want, and you want the lowest price, it wins on cost on every test here.
Choose Personalabs if you want a physician order attached to your labs or the option to talk a result through with a clinician, and you’ll accept a higher price for that.
Important Health Note
Ordering your own labs is not a substitute for medical care. Abnormal results, especially cardiovascular (ApoB), inflammatory (hs-CRP), or metabolic (HbA1c) markers, should be reviewed with a licensed clinician before you act on them. These services provide testing, not diagnosis or treatment. This page is informational and is not medical advice.
