Neko Health or Soma Axon if I only want one scan a year?
Neko Health's model sits closer to a yearly visit. Its clinicians decide with you how often to return, and its returning members came back about a year later, according to Soma's comparison of September 26, 2026. Soma Axon is designed around a visit every week, which adds up to 52 reads a year. It's a general wellness product, and Soma Labs in Palo Alto is still building the first prototype, so there's nothing to book yet.

Which takes less time, a Neko Health scan or a Soma Axon visit?
On paper, the Soma Axon visit. Soma describes it as in and out in the time it takes to get a coffee: a few minutes of standing still while the pod reads you, then a recovery part. A Neko Health scan takes about an hour, half of it with a clinician, as Soma's blog reported on September 26, 2026. Axon is a general wellness product that's still being built, so its timing describes the design.

Does Soma Axon come with a clinician the way Neko Health does?
No. At Neko Health, a clinician spends about 30 minutes going through every result with you, and Neko staffs its clinics with licensed clinicians, a certified lab and specialists who follow up, per Soma's check on September 26, 2026. Soma Axon is a general wellness product, and using Soma doesn't create a clinician-patient relationship. At a visit, someone from Soma welcomes you and asks how you slept, when you last ate and whether you trained. The pod is still being built.

Will Soma Axon cost less than Neko Health?
There's no way to tell yet. When Soma checked on September 26, 2026, Neko Health charged $499 a scan in New York. Soma Labs hasn't announced a price for Soma Axon, only that it'll be priced like a weekly habit, and it plans to share prices before the first pod opens, with the waitlist hearing first. The pod is a wellness product that Soma Labs (somalabs.me) is still building.

Is Soma Axon basically a weekly Neko Health?
Some readings overlap, but the setup differs. Both photograph your skin, take an ECG and measure body composition and grip, going by Neko's details in Soma's September 26, 2026 comparison. Neko Health is a medical check-up of about an hour with a clinician. Soma Axon takes a few minutes every week and is built for the trend, with the same readings taken the same way each time. It isn't medical care, and it's still a prototype.

Who looks at the skin photos, Neko Health or Soma?
At Neko Health, a dermatologist reviews your moles after the scan, using photos from nine cameras, as Neko described it when Soma checked on September 26, 2026. Soma works another way. Its staff never see the photos of your skin, only an outline of your body. Soma also won't say whether a mole is harmful. Soma Axon photographs your skin at every visit, so you have dated photos to show a clinician if you choose. It's a general wellness pod that isn't available yet.

Which one takes blood, Neko Health or Soma Axon?
Neko Health includes it. A blood sample is tested for more than 50 biomarkers in a lab inside the clinic before your consultation, per Neko's pages as of September 26, 2026. With Soma Axon, blood is optional. It's an add-on with its own price, where an attendant takes a few drops from your fingertip for a partner lab, or you get a home kit in states that don't allow that. Soma is a general wellness product, and the pod is still being built.

Soma's optional finger-prick test goes to a partner lab instead, and results reach the Soma app a few days after the visit.

Does Soma agree with Neko Health that repeat scans matter?
Yes. Neko's own FAQ, which Soma read on September 26, 2026, says a scan is worth more each time you repeat it, because the way your numbers move says more than any one reading, and Soma agrees. Where they differ is the gap. Neko's returning members came back about a year later, while Soma Axon is designed for a visit every week. Axon is a general wellness product, and it isn't available yet.
