JustLabs's $9.00 sticker excludes $28.00 in per-order fees; TestWell's $26.99 sticker plus the single $6.00 lab fee is the whole price.

TestWell prices are live from the catalog and are what checkout charges. JustLabs prices were read from its public ordering pages on 2026-09-05; all-in assumes one test ordered alone.
Is it the same test?
Yes. Both orders are analyzed at the same CLIA-certified lab, so the assay, the reference range and the number on your report are identical. You are paying for the ordering experience, the physician authorization and any bundling — not a different test.
Where does the price difference come from?
JustLabs lists a lower-looking sticker and adds a $18.00 lab draw fee and a $10.00 physician order fee at checkout, so a single test costs $37.00. TestWell's $26.99 sticker plus one $6.00 lab processing fee — $32.99 — is the whole price. The fee gap narrows when several tests share one order at either company.
When is JustLabs the better choice?
- Multi-test orders: three or more tests in one draw usually total less at JustLabs because the $28 in fees is paid once — a 4-test basic wellness panel is $30 + $28 = $58 versus TestWell's General Wellness Panel at $95.99 all-in
- Faster quoted turnaround (1-2 business days) on many routine tests
- Bilingual: every test and panel page is mirrored in Spanish
- You're ordering three or more tests in one Quest draw and want the lowest total — JustLabs' $28 in fees is paid once, so bigger orders favor them.
- You want Spanish-language test pages; TestWell's Spanish mirror is still rolling out.
