Superpower vs InsideTracker
Superpower vs InsideTracker: Superpower is $199 (once per year), and InsideTracker is $499 (on-demand (pay per test, discounted with membership)). Superpower costs less, and Superpower covers more biomarkers (59 vs 48).
I've reviewed Superpower in detail and reviewed InsideTracker in detail. To build this comparison I pulled each provider's current biomarker list and pricing, then normalized the marker names so the counts line up like for like.
Below I compare the two side by side: pricing and cost per biomarker, the exact tests each panel includes and where they diverge, who founded each company and whether a doctor is on the team, and the apps and any AI each has built.
Superpower vs InsideTracker: pricing
| Superpower | InsideTracker | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $199 | $499 |
| Cadence | Once per year | On-demand (pay per test, discounted with membership) |
| Biomarkers | 59 | 48 |
| Cost per biomarker | $3.37 | $10.40 |
Cost per biomarker is the sticker price divided by the number of markers, a rough apples-to-apples figure. It ignores cadence, the app, and any doctor review, which the sections below cover.

Superpower vs InsideTracker: apps and technology
| Superpower | InsideTracker | |
|---|---|---|
| iOS app | ✓ | ✓ |
| Android app | — | ✓ |
| Web app | ✓ | ✓ |
| Trained its own AI model | — | — |
- Superpower: "Superpower AI" is a retrieval-augmented layer with clinician review over an undisclosed third-party LLM, not a trained model; its "trained on medical literature" wording refers to a retrieval corpus, not model weights. A native Android app isn't confirmed yet.
- InsideTracker: Markets a "proprietary AI engine" (machine learning plus computational biology), but hasn't announced a self-trained foundation model.
Superpower vs InsideTracker: which is better?
On the numbers, Superpower is the stronger value here: it covers more biomarkers and costs less. Check the biomarker breakdown above before deciding: Superpower has 25 markers InsideTracker doesn't, and InsideTracker has 14 that Superpower skips, so the right choice depends on which of those you actually care about.
