POSITIONING
Forth is an established UK finger-prick testing brand with an app at the centre of the product. The shape is familiar: a finger-prick kit arrives, the customer collects the sample and posts it back, the lab processes it, and the results land in the Forth app with trends over time. Forth offers one-off tests and a subscription model, and markets a broad catalogue across general wellness, women's health and sports performance. The app and the subscription cadence are the core of the proposition.
The app-led, subscription model suits the customer who wants to track biomarkers over time with an automatic re-test cadence and a clean dashboard. Forth has been in the UK market for a while and the catalogue is broad, with tailored bundles for specific audiences such as athletes or women navigating cycle and menopause questions. For ongoing tracking on a cadence, it is well designed.
Helvy offers 6 fixed blood tests at one-off prices of £99 to £129. Choose a test by the markers you want to understand. Find my test helps you narrow the existing catalogue; it does not build a custom panel.

HELVY DIFFERENTIATORS
THE LONG VERSION
Forth built an established position in the UK app-led testing space. The flagship is the app that holds the customer's results over time and supports a re-test cadence on a subscription. The catalogue is broad, with bundles tailored to specific audiences such as athletes and women navigating cycle and menopause questions. The subscription model is well-tuned for the customer who wants ongoing testing without thinking about it each time.
The app and the cadence are the strongest pieces of the Forth product. If the question the customer is asking is "can I track my biomarkers over time in a clean app with an automatic re-test cadence", Forth answers yes, and the audience-specific bundles add useful tailoring on top.
Helvy offers 6 fixed blood tests at one-off prices of £99 to £129. Choose a test by the markers you want to understand. Find my test helps you narrow the existing catalogue; it does not build a custom panel.
Each test includes a finger-prick collection kit, prepaid return, laboratory analysis and results in your Helvy account. The report shows each marker, its range and an explanation of what it reflects. Explore the example report before you choose.
If you want the broad first look, that is Energy and Wellness at 17 markers, £129. If you are not sure which panel answers your question, Find my test.
WHEN FORTH IS THE RIGHT CHOICE
Forth is the right choice if you want to track biomarkers over time in a native app, if you want a subscription that arrives on a cadence, or if you want an audience-specific bundle such as an athlete or women's-health package. Forth is an established UK player with a broad catalogue, and the app-led tracking is a genuine strength for the customer whose priority is the trend over time.
If your starting question is "can I track my markers over time with an app and a re-test cadence", Forth answers it. The subscription model and the tailored bundles are tuned for the customer who wants regular ongoing testing at low friction, with the trend visualisation doing the heavy lifting.
