Price reported Figures checked 2026-09-07 Index Q3 2026 Provider website

What it is

A blood-panel membership with a consumer app layer and no imaging, at the same price as Function’s subscription tier. Competes on interface and longitudinal tracking rather than diagnostic reach.

The evidence behind what it offers

We grade tests, not companies. These are our standing assessments of the modalities this provider offers, and they apply identically to everyone offering them.

Not offered: Whole-body MRI, Multi-cancer early detection blood test, Cardiopulmonary exercise test, Genomics and gene panels.

How to read the price

Every private programme sells an addition to something you already have. In Germany that something is Check-up 35, free every three years from age 35, covering blood pressure, fasting glucose, a full lipid panel, urinalysis and a consultation. Those are the cheapest high-yield measurements in medicine and a meaningful share of people buying private programmes have never used them.

So the question is never whether Superpower beats nothing. It is what the increment buys.

What to ask before booking

  1. What is the total price, in writing, before the consultation? Superpower does not publish a price page, so the figure on this page comes from a third party and may not match your quote.
  2. Which cardiovascular and metabolic assessment is included, and how does it map onto the guideline? A programme covering functional capacity and vascular status is doing serious work; one leaning on a lipid panel is repeating your statutory check.
  3. Is any form of cardiopulmonary exercise testing available as an add-on? It carries the strongest mortality association of anything measurable here and is absent from over half the programmes we catalogue.
  4. What happens after the report: is there a named physician who owns the follow-up, or does the responsibility return to my own doctor?
  5. What is the median total invoice, as opposed to the advertised programme price? Additional recommendations after the initial consultation are normal in this category and are not usually in the headline figure.

Profile

Nine attributes across three axes, recorded and not scored. We grade tests, never companies, so there is no total here and no winner: the axes pull against each other, and no provider in the Index holds all nine. A programme priced for annual repetition will not publish deep tier structures, and one that declines routine imaging cannot lead on imaging volume. Read it as a description of what this provider is.

  • No routine whole-body imaging : yes

    Avoids the incidental-finding burden of routine imaging

Questions this article answers

How much does Superpower cost?
Superpower charges $499/yr per year. The provider does not publish a price page, so this comes from a named secondary source, checked 2026-09-07, and may differ from the quote you receive.
What is included in a Superpower programme?
A blood-panel membership with a consumer app layer and no imaging, at the same price as Function’s subscription tier. Competes on interface and longitudinal tracking rather than diagnostic reach.. Biomarker count: 100+.
Is Superpower worth it compared with a free statutory check?
Check-up 35 (statutory, Germany) is free and covers the cheap high-yield basics: Physical examination, blood pressure, fasting glucose, total cholesterol with LDL, HDL and triglycerides, urinalysis, a one-off hepatitis B and C screen, and a consultation. What Superpower adds at $499/yr is the layer the statutory system does not fund at all. Our standing grade for each of these is on this page, so you can see which part of the increment the evidence supports before you decide.
Does Superpower include a whole-body MRI?
No. Superpower does not offer whole-body MRI at any published tier. Since our assessment of whole-body MRI screening is grade C, meaning no randomised evidence of mortality benefit in asymptomatic adults, its absence is not a shortcoming.
Who is Superpower best for?
Somebody healthy who wants a trend line and will realistically attend every year. At this price the decision is easy enough to repeat, which matters because screening only works if you keep doing it. Whoever you are, use your statutory entitlement first: it is free, it covers the measurements with the longest outcome record, and a meaningful share of people buying private programmes have never had it.
How long does a Superpower appointment take?
It is delivered across more than one appointment rather than a single day, so allow for scheduling separate imaging and laboratory visits.
What are the alternatives to Superpower?
On the same model and at the nearest prices: Function Health (with Ezra) in Austin, US from $499/yr. Compare within kind before across it, because a per-visit fee and a per-week residential rate are not the same number. The full comparison across all 16 providers we catalogue is in the Baseline Index.
Where is Superpower located?
Superpower is based in New York, US. It operates as blood panel subscription.
