Comparison · Superpower
Superpower is a newer entrant in the comprehensive-panel category, built on the Function model: a similar twice-yearly panel subscription, a similar comprehensive draw, an interactive overlay on top. Its summary is of its own panels. Merlin reads those results beside everything else you hold, and reads all of it as one continuous story rather than a series of snapshots.

The Function model with a heavier AI-forward marketing layer.

A read, not a panel. Merlin reads whatever you already have - no required panel purchase - the way a functional and integrative medicine clinician would: cross-system reads across blood, imaging, genetics, body composition, gut, musculoskeletal, fertility and neuropsychiatric. Practitioner-friendly. The art-gallery model: the kind that keeps its doors open by keeping them low-cost. Your first month is $35 and reads your results together.

Prices are each platform's own public price, checked in September 2026. Each platform's product evolves rapidly; if anything here is out of date, the underlying structural distinction (cross-source synthesis, surface breadth beyond blood) still holds.
Superpower's summary is of Superpower's panels. Merlin's synthesis works across any panel from any source, and reads them as one continuous story rather than a series of snapshots. The product is the read, not the panel.
None of these platforms are either-or with Merlin: the synthesis layer reads whatever panels you already have, no matter who ran them.
A real Cardiovascular surface from a real anonymized panel: a score, a narrative in plain language, 19 biomarkers read in context, a plan, the follow-up testing worth running, and the questions to ask your physician. Every system you have data for gets this depth.
Bring what you have, wherever it came from - PDFs, portal downloads, a photo of a printout. Your first month reads your results together, across every system, then shows you what they mean and what's worth finding out next. If there's a lot, Merlin tells you what order to bring it in.
If you don't feel the value of Merlin after paying for your first month, tell us and we'll refund you in full. Monthly Core, once per person, by email within 30 days. The terms
