Order the Ferritin test — $25.99 Full TestWell vs Own Your Labs comparison

Is it the same test?

Yes. Both orders are analyzed at the same CLIA-certified lab under the same CPT code (82728), 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?

Both companies price this test all-in. TestWell's $31.99 reflects direct-to-consumer pricing negotiated with the labs and a single $6.00 lab fee per order, with physician authorization included; Own Your Labs's $15.00 reflects its own model and overhead.

When is Own Your Labs the better choice?

Routine tests at $8-$20 with the draw included: CBC $8.40 vs $27.99 all-in at TestWell, CMP $10 vs $28.99, lipid panel $10 vs $30.99, A1c $8.80 vs $28.99, TSH $13.20 vs $33.99, ferritin $15 vs $31.99, PSA $16.80 vs $45.99, ApoB $17.20 vs $45.99
Multi-test carts of routine tests: CBC + CMP + lipid + TSH is $41.60 there vs $55.99 for TestWell's General Wellness Panel, and nine wellness tests are $153.60 vs $195.99 for the ten-test Essential Health Panel
One test where TestWell is simply more expensive: the mono test, $22.60 there vs $90.99 here — Labcorp's mono screen costs TestWell more through its lab network than Own Your Labs charges retail. They also sell an immunoassay total testosterone for $29.80; the LC/MS-MS version both companies sell is $57 there vs $49.99 here
You're ordering routine tests — CBC, CMP, lipid panel, A1c, TSH, ferritin — at a Labcorp you can get to, you can print the order form, and price is the only criterion. Own Your Labs is $15-$20 per test cheaper and there is no fee to spread.
You want to contribute your results to an open research data pool; that is Own Your Labs' founding purpose and TestWell does not publish results anywhere.
