About this test

This test measures prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a protein that can rise with age-related prostate changes, after prostate surgery, or with conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia. It is a single-marker screen rather than a broader prostate panel.

Among the PSA tests we track, it is by far the cheapest: the next cheapest, from Randox Health, costs £33, more than double the price, and prices in the group run up to £85 from Bluecrest Wellness. At £14.99 it sits 75% below the £59 group median.

It scores well for value for money and for collection convenience, since it is a self-read test with a result in minutes. It scores lower for results and follow-up because, like the rest of the range, it is not doctor-reviewed as standard, so the provider's guidance is to see a doctor about a raised result or if you have symptoms such as urinary changes.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you want a low-cost, immediate first check of PSA levels, for example if you are over 50, have a family history of prostate conditions, or have symptoms such as frequent or difficult urination. If you would rather have a lab-processed blood test, Randox Health's PSA test costs £33, or Medichecks' costs £45, both still under half the price of some other comparators.

How it works

You take a finger-prick blood sample at home and read the result yourself, with the provider stating a result in around five minutes and no need to post anything to a lab. Results are not doctor-reviewed as standard; the provider recommends speaking to a doctor about a raised result or ongoing symptoms.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Cheapest PSA test in the comparison group at £14.99
  • Result in around five minutes with no lab post-back needed
  • Simple finger-prick sample rather than a full blood draw

Cons

  • Not doctor-reviewed, so a raised result needs a separate GP follow-up
  • Single marker only, not a broader prostate health panel
  • Randox Health and Medichecks both offer lab-processed alternatives under £50

This single-marker rapid test checks PSA levels from a finger-prick blood sample in around five minutes, and at £14.99 it is the cheapest PSA test we track, less than half the price of the next cheapest at £33. It is not doctor-reviewed, so a raised result needs following up with a doctor.
