I will definitely join Fitomics, like their pricing for IGF-1 is a no-brainer.
But Ultra's price for TST with estrogen levels ($49 combined in one package) is not as bad as I assumed looking at the comparison table (which seems to show it would be $49+$35, or $84).
For the many other tests at Ultra like Lipoprotein(a) and C-Reactive Protein, the table is still right (though some prices at Ultra have gone up $1).

@Don Ligero did the standard membership shut down? Screenshot below of what happens when you go to sign up.

I have a message out to the owner asking about it. Will update when I get a response.

Reopened until 5/31 and then only premium will be available.

Correction: The hormone tests through Fitomics are better priced than I thought. For one, I did not account for the sensitivity of the tests when comparing them to Ultra's pricing.
going with the cable tv model where they bundle a bunch of stuff you don’t want in order to upcharge?
it’s a bummer watching places move through the stages of launching, getting popular, then jacking up prices.Not attacking you @Don Ligero, just hoping that the sentiment might make it back to them and they could reconsider this move. It makes the monthly fee double what it was at launch, which kinda sucks.

But if you sign up by the end of the month and keep the standard subscription going indefinitely... until your spouse/partner kills you

Yeah, I'll probably be canceling my membership if thats the case. Their are other options that are more straight forward and it feels wrong to support such a blatant move.

Of course, if you plan to stick around for a whole year, the annual plan for the premium comes out to less than $25 a month (paid annually). But with people doing cycles on-and-off, they may not want a $299 annual plan.

So you’ll cancel your cheaper membership just because others might have to pay more for joining later than you? lol

Feedback is appreciated and passed along. Do what you gotta do that is best for you. Lock in early and keep it going. The earliest adopters got in for $20 per month and as long as they do not cancel, they keep that rate.
Personally, I agree that the premium is not quite worth the squeeze yet... More features coming including viewing biomarkers plotted on charts over time color coded by value in reference range. Now that might be worth the premium.
They may need to tweak the model a bit. There are a number of customers who wait for a big sale, sign up, order 6 different tests, then unsubscribe. There are scenarios where they LOSE money on those transactions overall. With draw fees being taken from subscription prices, 6 draws is $50ish. So they are -$20 on the $30 subscription. Then the big sale of 26% off (easter), their margins are small to begin with. Say the member only buys a $6 test....
Maybe they need to limit the big discount sales to members that have been subscribed for at least 2 months...
Just spitballing here. Again, all feedback appreciated... the good and the bad.
