Vitall figures from vitall.co.uk on 2 November 2026. Per-marker cost uses the all-in price with a home visit: £428 ÷ 140 for TrueVitals, £378 ÷ 27 for Vitall's Male Total Health Check.

The real difference

27 markers for £299, or 140 for £399

Vitall's most comprehensive general panels test 27 to 28 markers from a finger-prick sample for £299. The TrueVitals Ultimate tests 140 from a venous draw for £399 with the clinic draw included: £100 more for five times the markers.

The gap is in the markers that explain how people feel: Free T3 and thyroid antibodies, full iron studies, fasting insulin, cortisol, the full hormone panel, ApoB and Lp(a), cystatin C and tumour markers. A small capillary sample limits how many of those can be run reliably; a venous draw does not.

The report is the other difference. The Ultimate is read as a whole and reviewed by a clinician before release, so the pattern across your results is explained, not just the colour of each one.

Being fair

When Vitall is the better choice

You are on Mounjaro or Wegovy and want a nurse at home for less. Vitall's GLP-1 Advanced Nurse Health Check is 51 markers for £249 with the visit included.

You want a kit through the post. TrueVitals has no finger-prick kit; every test is a venous draw at a clinic or a home visit.

You want one area checked. Vitall's hormone checks (£199) are cheaper than a full panel if hormones are the only question.

How we compared

Methodology, and where this page is biased

  1. Who wrote it. James Smillie, founder of TrueVitals. TrueVitals is one of the options compared, so read this as a well-sourced page from an interested party: every competitor figure is from the provider's own website, dated, and their genuine advantages are stated.
  2. What was compared. Vitall's tests as listed on vitall.co.uk on 2 November 2026, against TrueVitals Ultimate and Advanced. Where Vitall does not state a figure on its product pages, it is left out rather than estimated.
  3. Criteria. Clinical coverage for the question the page answers, sample method (venous scores above finger-prick for hormones and insulin), what the report does with the results, who reviews it, turnaround, and all-in price including any blood-draw fee, before promotional discounts.
  4. Corrections. If a figure here is out of date, email support@truevitals.co.uk and it will be corrected and the date above updated. Reviewed monthly.
