Hone Health vs Lifeforce

Updated October 16, 2026. By FitScript Editorial.

Hone Health and Lifeforce both turn blood testing into a health plan, but they are built differently. Hone Health runs a clinical membership with labs on a schedule, video visits with physicians and prescription treatment when a physician decides it fits. Lifeforce sells a clinician-led membership with regular blood draws, telehealth consults and a health coach built in. FitScript publishes this page and is shown alongside them as a third option built around reading the labs you already have. Every fact below is linked to where it came from.

FitScript publishes this comparison and is one of the services compared. Competitor facts come from each company's own website as of October 16, 2026. Prices and features change, so check their current terms before you decide.

What do Hone Health and Lifeforce include, and what do they cost?

Hone Health lists two memberships. Its how-it-works page shows Premium at $155 a month plus the cost of medication, with an initial test of $65, and Basic at $25 a month, with an initial test of $25 plus an onboarding fee. Its home page describes getting started at $65 for advanced lab testing of 50+ biomarkers, a telehealth consult with a licensed physician and a personalised plan, while the same how-it-works page notes that Basic members book a 30-minute physician consultation for a nominal fee, so what the first payment includes depends on the plan you choose.

Its help center describes both as annual clinical programmes billed monthly: Men's Premium totals $1,860 a year and Basic $300 a year, excluding medication, each charged as one twelfth of the annual fee per month. Medication is priced separately, with its testosterone page listing testosterone from $28 a month on top of the membership.

Lifeforce lists two ways to start. The Monthly Membership is $199 to start, shown as down from $349, then $149 per month, cancel anytime. It includes an at-home blood draw of 50+ biomarkers four times a year, four clinical consults a year to go over the results, access to prescription medications, unlimited health coaching, 30 percent off supplements and access to advanced panels and select peptides. The Core Annual Membership is a one-time $599, shown as down from $699, with two blood draws a year, one clinical consult a year, access to prescription medications, a personalised health program and 30 percent off supplements. Lifeforce also lists an annual option at $1,449 that includes everything in the Monthly Membership.

Lifeforce lists all plans as HSA/FSA eligible, and its help centre explains that most plans need an itemised invoice and a letter of medical necessity, which it arranges through Truemed. Members can cancel from the Orders and Subscriptions page of the member portal.

How does lab testing compare?

Hone Health states that it tests 50+ biomarkers across core health systems including cardiovascular, metabolic, hormones and thyroid. Its help center lists the Men's Premium panel as a thyroid panel, a sex hormone panel including PSA, a complete blood count, a lipid panel including ApoB, and a comprehensive metabolic panel. Premium members retest every three months and Basic members every six, and members can add DEXA scans, MRIs and extra lab panels.

Testing on a fixed rhythm is the point of Hone Health's model, since the physician reviews each new set of results alongside the last. That cadence suits people who are adjusting a treatment and want regular checks built in.

Lifeforce measures 50+ biomarkers per draw, grouped into hormone balance, critical nutrients, metabolic condition, organ health, cardiovascular health and other key risk factors. On the Monthly Membership the panel is repeated every quarter, and Lifeforce's how-it-works page describes retesting each quarter to track progress and refine the plan.

Lifeforce's help centre lists four optional add-on panels, heavy metals, metabolic, cardiovascular and brain protection, which can be added to a member's next draw alongside the standard 50+ biomarker panel.

Where do you get tested?

Hone Health offers a choice of 2,000+ Quest Diagnostics locations, and its home page states that testing can be completed at home or at a lab. Its help center explains that at-home kits are available only for men, with women completing testing at a lab location, and that an in-home or on-site draw is available through a GetLabs mobile phlebotomist, free for initial labs on some programmes, with members paying for GetLabs on follow-up labs.

Lifeforce sends a licensed phlebotomist to your home or office for the draw, and its help centre explains that members can switch to a walk-in visit at a Quest Diagnostics location, where most sites accept walk-ins without an appointment. Lifeforce states that its services are offered in the 48 contiguous US states and require a US shipping and billing address.

Lifeforce asks members to fast for 10 hours before a draw and to avoid alcohol, aspirin and niacin for 24 hours. For draws that include advanced panels, it notes that 8 to 15 tubes are drawn, so good hydration matters.

How fast do results arrive, and what do you see?

Hone Health's help center states that lab panels typically return results about 10 business days after the blood draw, with physician review within one to two business days after results arrive, and that at-home panels usually take about four business days after the lab receives the sample. Results appear on a dashboard in a secure patient portal, where they can be downloaded and shared. Its help center notes that the Hone app is its mobile-friendly website rather than an App Store or Google Play download.

Lifeforce states that results are typically ready within 10 to 14 business days of the blood draw. Its algorithm then calculates a Lifescore, a single 0 to 100 measure that Lifeforce says reflects baseline health, quality of life and biological age, and a Lifeforce clinician reviews the results with your health questionnaire. Lifeforce says the initial review loads into the member portal within 48 hours of the lab returning results, ahead of the telehealth consult.

How do clinicians, AI and guidance compare?

Hone Health's consult is a private one-to-one video appointment with board-certified physicians who specialise in hormone health, metabolism and longevity. Premium members meet their clinician with each three-month retest and have unlimited messaging with their care team. Its testosterone page lists testosterone therapy as injections, cream or dissolvable troches, and its home page lists prescription hair-loss treatments. Its terms state that clinical services are provided by Broad Health, an independent physician-owned medical group, through the Hone platform.

Clinicians are the core of Lifeforce. Each membership includes 45-minute telehealth consults with a board-certified longevity medicine clinician to review results and build a plan, which can include supplements, hormones, peptides, pharmaceuticals and lifestyle strategies where the clinician finds them appropriate. Members are matched with a dedicated health coach, and Lifeforce lists monthly deliveries of supplements and prescriptions. Lifeforce states that clinical services are provided by independently owned medical practices.

Can you bring labs from elsewhere?

Hone Health accepts outside labs for the initial evaluation when they were completed within the last 90 days and all its required biomarkers are present, and its help center notes that the initial lab test is still purchased through Hone Health.

Lifeforce asks members to integrate the wearables they use during onboarding. For outside labs, its help centre asks members to mention external lab work in their telehealth appointment, and the clinician decides whether uploading it would help and explains how.

How do the costs compare over a year?

If you want scheduled one-on-one clinician time built in, a clinician-led membership is designed for that. If you mainly want labs read and a plan written, with clinicians available when needed, a reading membership may be the smaller cost. Prices change, so check each company's current pricing before you decide.

What do Hone Health and Lifeforce each do well?

Hone Health builds follow-up into the product. Premium pairs every retest with a clinician visit every three months and keeps a care team a message away, which is exactly the structure people managing a treatment tend to want. Its Premium panel covers the core hormone, thyroid, lipid and metabolic markers that ongoing care depends on.

It is also clear about cost. Its help center breaks each membership into a yearly total and a monthly charge, lists medication separately, and lets members pause rather than cancel when life gets in the way.

Lifeforce puts clinicians and coaching at the centre of the membership. Its site lists 45-minute consults with board-certified clinicians, a dedicated health coach, quarterly retesting on the Monthly Membership and prescription access when a clinician recommends it, with draws done at home so there is no waiting room.

For people who want a care team to read their results, build the plan and adjust it every few months, with coaching to help them follow through, that structure is easy to understand.

Sources [6] [31] [20] [25] [7] [21]

Who is each one best for?

Hone Health is a good fit for someone who already expects to work with a physician on hormones, metabolism or weight, wants labs and a clinician visit on a fixed three-month rhythm, and is comfortable paying a monthly membership with medication on top.

Lifeforce is a good fit for someone who wants a clinician-led program, with at-home draws, regular one-on-one consults, a dedicated health coach and access to prescriptions and supplements through the same membership.

Where does FitScript fit?

FitScript publishes this page and is shown in the table as a third option. It is built around reading the labs you already have rather than around one fixed testing bundle. Protocol is $20 per month including a 7-day trial and covers Atlas, its AI, the Health Score and personalised recommendations on uploaded labs. Lab panels are sold one body system at a time, from $49 for a single test to $499 for FitScript Complete, and Peak adds provider access and two group coaching calls a week.

Its upload page accepts PDF reports from Quest, Labcorp, other testing services and hospital systems, as well as phone photos of paper printouts, and states that Atlas has a read in under a minute. So results from either service compared here can be uploaded and read against optimal ranges.

What should you check before choosing a lab membership?

Start with the tests you actually want. A large biomarker count is useful when it covers the systems you care about, such as thyroid, hormones, heart, liver and kidney health. Read each provider's published list and look for the specific markers you have been told to watch, for example ApoB, fasting insulin or free T3, rather than comparing totals alone.

Next, think about how often you will retest. Seeing a number move after three or six months is often more useful than a single snapshot, so include the cost of a second draw in any yearly total. Check where you can be drawn, how long results take and whether a clinician reviews anything outside the standard range.

Finally, look at what happens after the results arrive. Some people want a clear written plan, some want to ask questions about their own numbers, and some want a licensed provider involved. Membership terms, renewal pricing and HSA or FSA eligibility are worth reading closely too, since they change over time.

Which one should you choose?

Choose based on what you need most. Hone Health runs a clinical membership with labs on a schedule, video visits with physicians and prescription treatment when a physician decides it fits. Lifeforce sells a clinician-led membership with regular blood draws, telehealth consults and a health coach built in. Read each company's current terms, since prices and features change.

Whatever you choose, a licensed clinician is the right person to interpret results that fall outside the standard range and to decide on any treatment.
