Goodlabs gives you two ways to get bloodwork, and neither needs a subscription. Donate blood at a partner blood center and get your chosen tests run from the same visit for free, or buy only the tests you want and get them drawn at a partner lab. Rythm Health mails you a home kit each month. You collect a small capillary sample with an FDA-cleared device, ship it back, and see 25+ biomarkers in the Rythm app. You can skip up to 90 days or cancel without fees. Both services use CLIA-certified labs and offer online results, tracking, and AI help.

At Goodlabs, you can:

  • Donate blood for free testing. Choose from the tests available with an eligible donation.
  • Buy the tests you want. Order one hormone test, a Goodlabs-made panel, or your own mix.
  • Have a trained professional draw your blood. Donations happen at partner blood centers, and paid tests at partner labs.

What is Goodlabs, and what is Rythm Health?

Goodlabs is a bloodwork platform with no subscription. Donate blood at a partner blood center and get a free panel from the same draw, or buy only the tests you want from 160+ biomarkers and get them drawn at one of 2,000+ partner lab locations. Results, tracking over time, uploads of past lab reports, and Barry, our AI assistant, are free with an account, whether or not you order again.

Rythm Health (sometimes searched as Rhythm Health) is an at-home blood testing company. It calls its kit "The World's Easiest Blood Test": a monthly subscription that ships a Tasso+ collection device to your door. You collect a small sample yourself, and FedEx picks it up for testing in Rythm's own lab. In its words, Rythm uses "monthly tracking to build a detailed picture of your health over time." Kits are $79 each before shipping and tax, and the AI Coach is included while your subscription is active.

Both give you results from CLIA-certified labs that you can track over time. They differ on how your blood is collected, how many tests you can choose from, what you pay, and what you can still use between tests.

Rythm combines a recurring home kit with a set panel. Goodlabs offers eligible free testing at partner donation centers or paid tests at partner labs. Regardless of if you order tests with Goodlabs, you can access free tools to monitor your results. You can even upload bloodwork from outside of Goodlabs into the platform.

How does Rythm Health collect blood compared with Goodlabs?

Rythm lets you collect at home, with 25+ biomarker panels that differ for men and women. Rythm says its panels are limited by the number of biomarkers that can be tested from a single collection. Rythm runs samples in its own CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited lab. At Goodlabs, choose from 160+ biomarkers. With Goodlabs, collection happens at a partner location through one of two paths.

Free testing through donation

Book a donation through Goodlabs at a partner blood center. Today that means select Vitalant, Inova, Blood Assurance, Bloodworks Northwest, and LifeStream locations. The tubes for your tests are drawn during the same donation, so there is no second appointment or second needle. Your blood goes to patients who need it, and your results go to your Goodlabs account.

Eligible donors choose one donation panel or up to two eligible individual tests, at no cost. The blood center pays Goodlabs a referral fee for each completed donation, and that fee covers your testing. Donation panels include fewer tests than the paid versions, and the center decides who can donate that day. You can get free testing every 56 days at most partner centers, or twice a year at Blood Assurance.

Buy directly from Goodlabs

Pick individual tests, a Goodlabs-made panel, or your own custom panel. You pay for the tests you choose plus a draw fee per visit, with the full total shown before checkout. You don't need a doctor's visit or insurance. Your blood is drawn at a partner lab: Quest, Labcorp, or BioReference (BioReference in New York and New Jersey).

Barry can help you choose tests, put together a panel, find available appointments, and book at participating locations.

Share a Goodlabs panel or try someone else's

Rythm offers preset kit panels. With Goodlabs, build your own panel from individual tests and share a link so friends or family can use the same selection. You can also discover public panels made by others. Shared panels contain the tests, never your results.

Order paid Goodlabs tests as needed. Rythm ships monthly kits.

Rythm's default is a monthly kit; you can skip up to 90 days or cancel with no cancellation fee. Goodlabs has no recurring kits. You place paid test orders when you want them, or book an eligible donation appointment at a participating center. Donation timing depends on the center's availability and eligibility requirements.

Goodlabs includes free AI help. Rythm includes AI with a subscription.

Rythm includes its AI Coach with a testing subscription. Goodlabs makes Barry, our AI assistant, free with an account. You can ask questions about your results even when you're not ordering another test.

Both services let you see how your results change over time. At Goodlabs, you can also upload older lab reports for free, if you have them, and review them alongside new results. Barry can explain what your markers measure and help you understand your report. Clinician review and telehealth are coming soon to Goodlabs.

Prefer an AI assistant you already use? Connect it to Goodlabs so it can work with your biomarker values and history. Barry remains available free in your Goodlabs account between orders.

Should you choose Goodlabs or Rythm Health?

Choose Goodlabs if: you want free bloodwork through an eligible donation, or more choice over the paid tests you order. Choose individual tests or a panel at partner labs, with free uploads, tracking, and Barry and no subscription.

Choose Rythm Health if: you want to collect your blood sample at home and receive recurring kits for its fixed panel. You collect the sample yourself and mail it to the lab.
