Thriva
Tracking the same markers over time without thinking about it
Built around subscription rather than one-off testing, which suits the thing that actually matters — the trend. Quarterly plans bring the per-test cost well below a one-off panel, and results come with GP review. The trade-off is a narrower menu than Medichecks, so check your specific markers are on it.

Strengths
- Subscription model makes repeat testing the default rather than an effort
- Substantially cheaper per test on a quarterly plan
- GP-reviewed results with a clear written summary
- Good app for watching a marker move across tests
Where it falls short
- Finger-prick only, which limits some markers
- Narrower menu than Medichecks — advanced lipids may not be available
- You are committing to a plan, not buying one test
Panels, and what they actually cover
Marker counts are a poor guide — a 47-marker panel that omits ApoB is worse for this purpose than a 20-marker one that includes it. These are the markers each panel covers that we have written up.

What you would still be missing
Even buying every panel listed above, these markers from our library would go unmeasured. Some need adding individually; some need a different provider.
No commercial relationship. We are not paid by Thriva or any provider on this site, and the link above is a plain one. This is an assessment of which panel measures what, not a recommendation to buy. Discuss any result that concerns you with a clinician — see our medical disclaimer.
