Pricing structure

Thrive Rx alternative
Looking for a Thrive Rx alternative?
Thrive Rx is a clinician-led telehealth longevity program: AHPRA-registered practitioners, tiered pathology from Detect ($1,248/year) to Optimise ($2,848/year), and ongoing consults over 6 to 12 months. It is one of Australia's most structured proactive care pathways.
If you want comprehensive pathology and a living blood record without a $1,248+ telehealth program, Hemexa is AU$1,199/year all-in: GP-reviewed requests, Laverty collection nationwide, 77+ signature markers on baseline, Included six-month retest on fast-moving markers, a health-system dashboard, self-serve pathology PDF imports, and supplement insights tied to your blood results.
Your annual baseline includes 77+ signature markers (77 for men, 81 for women), including 13 calculated insights from your lab results. Measured draws depend on sex (64–68). Fast-moving markers are tested again on your included six-month retest.

Why compare
Thrive Rx fills the reactive care gap. The next question is whether you need a prescribing pathway.
Thrive Rx pairs tiered pathology with AHPRA telehealth clinicians, structured reviews at 12 weeks and ongoing, and optional medications or peptides where clinically appropriate (billed separately at pharmacy retail with no markup). Prescriptions are never guaranteed; it is not a script service.
Hemexa is for Australians who want platform-led blood intelligence: upload your own pathology PDFs, see health-system scores and trends, and get supplement insights linked to your markers, without stepping into a consult-heavy care plan or separate medication billing.
Care plan vs membership
Clinician-led care plan vs blood intelligence membership
Thrive Rx is built for Australians who want a regulated, AHPRA-led longevity pathway: structured consults, tiered pathology, and optional prescribing over 6 to 12 months. Hemexa is built for Australians who want comprehensive pathology and a living blood record at a lower annual price, without stepping into a consult-heavy telehealth program.
Consults and scripts vs platform intelligence
Thrive Rx pairs pathology with AHPRA clinician oversight, protocols, and medications or peptides where clinically appropriate (billed separately at pharmacy retail). Hemexa focuses on blood intelligence: health-system scores, trends, and a plan after every panel without prescribing upsells.
Their panels required vs your timeline
Thrive Rx clinicians can review recent pathology at intake, but specialised longevity panels included in your membership are still required. Hemexa lets you upload pathology PDFs yourself after your first baseline, so older results sit in your timeline on your terms.
What you get with Hemexa
Not a telehealth care plan clone: a platform built for your blood record.
90+ marker results at $1,199, not $1,248+
Hemexa includes 77+ signature markers on baseline and an included six-month retest at AU$1,199/year all-in. Thrive Rx Detect starts at $1,248/year with 30+ core markers; Optimise reaches 60+ comprehensive markers at $2,848/year.
Self-serve pathology imports
After your first Hemexa panel, upload PDFs from other Australian pathology providers yourself. Thrive Rx can review recent results at intake, but specialised longevity panels are still required and past results are not a self-serve timeline import.
Supplements that respond to your blood
Log your stack and get platform insights connected to your marker results after each panel. Thrive Rx addresses supplements through clinician protocols and optional prescribing; Hemexa ties them directly to your dashboard signals.
Platform intelligence, no prescribing upsell
Hemexa is built for comprehensive blood tracking at one annual price, with no prescribing upsell.
