Operational Takeaways

  • The Real Number: While the average cycle in the UK costs £6,000+ and the US exceeds $15,000, Ovom’s packages start at just €2,000 for our Core Egg Freezing Package.
  • The Storage Factor: Long-term storage fees are the "silent budget killer." Our Premium package includes 5 years of cryostorage upfront, saving you thousands.
  • The Location Advantage: By treating you in Cascais, Portugal, we leverage lower operational costs to provide luxury-tier medical care at ~70% less than Northern Europe or North America.
  • Financing: We offer 0% interest in-house payment plans and partnerships with providers like Revolut and Novouna to make preservation accessible.

As the CEO and co-founder of Ovom Care, I look at fertility care through a different lens than our doctors. I founded this clinic built on my own experiences as a patient, and I care deeply about financial accessibility.

And the economics of egg freezing are often broken.

For years, the narrative has been that egg freezing is a luxury reserved for the ultra-wealthy or corporate executives with "gold-plated" benefits. If you look at the standard prices in London or New York, that narrative holds true. But at Ovom, we challenge that assumption.

We asked: Can we deliver world-class cryobiology and a premium patient experience without the premium price tag?

By utilizing our Hybrid Care Model and our strategic location in Portugal, the answer is yes. Here is a completely transparent breakdown of what egg freezing costs in 2026, and how Ovom compares to the global standard.

The "Sticker Price" vs. The Final Bill

When budgeting for egg freezing, you must distinguish between the procedure cost and the lifetime cost.

Most clinics advertise a low "Cycle Fee" but hide the anesthesia, monitoring and, crucially, the annual storage fees that accumulate over time.

At Ovom, we simplified this into two transparent tiers.

Option 1: The Core Package (For the Proactive Planner)

Price: €2,000 Designed for patients under 35 with healthy ovarian reserve (AMH > 1.5 ng/ml) who want a streamlined, efficient cycle.

  • What’s Included: The complete egg retrieval procedure, anesthesia, egg vitrification (freezing), and baseline care.
  • Best For: Younger patients who are freezing for "insurance" and expect a good yield in one cycle.

Option 2: The Premium Package (The All-Inclusive Choice)

Price: €2,900This is our "peace of mind" package, and truthfully, it offers unmatched value in the European market.

  • What’s Included:
    • Everything in Core.
    • All Monitoring Scans & Blood Tests: No separate bills for checking your follicles.
    • Concierge-Level Care: Dedicated coordination for travel and logistics.
    • 5 Years of Cryostorage: We include the first half-decade of storage fees upfront.

In most UK clinics, 5 years of storage alone would cost ~£1,500–£2,000. At Ovom, it’s included.

Global Price Comparison: UK vs. US vs. Ovom

How does our pricing stack up against the rest of the world?

Based on 2025/2026 market averages for a single cycle including medication estimates and storage.

Note: You are saving roughly 65% compared to the UK and 80% compared to the US, simply by traveling to a beautiful seaside retreat in Cascais, Portugal for just 3 to 5 days.

The Variable: Medication

The one cost no clinic can give you a fixed price for is medication. This is paid to the pharmacy, not the clinic, and depends entirely on your biology.

  • Standard Range: €1,000 – €1,500.
  • Factors: Patients with lower AMH need higher doses of stimulation drugs, which increases the cost.
  • Tip: Medication prices in Portugal and the EU are often regulated and significantly lower than in the US.

The Hidden "Long-Tail" Cost: Storage

This is where most patients get caught out. Freezing eggs is not a one-time transaction; it is a subscription.

  • Industry Standard: You pay an annual fee of €300–€500 every year your eggs remain frozen.
  • The Ovom Difference: Our Premium Package locks in your storage for 5 years. If you choose the Core package, our storage fee is just €250/year, which is also significantly below the industry average.

Financing: Making It Accessible

We believe financial health and reproductive health are linked. You shouldn’t have to drain your savings to protect your fertility.

1. In-House Payment Plans (0% Interest) - We offer flexible payment plans directly through Ovom with zero interest and no hidden fees. This allows you to split the cost of treatment over time.

2. Buy Now, Pay Later - We accept PayPal and Klarna, giving you the flexibility to use your own preferred credit solutions.

3. Long-Term Loans - For extended payment terms, we partner with specialized financial providers like Revolut and Novouna (subject to credit score).

The Bottom Line

Egg freezing is an investment in your future autonomy. But it shouldn't cost the same as a down payment on a house.

By decoupling the "medical excellence" from the "location premium," Ovom allows you to access top-tier cryopreservation technology at a fair, transparent price.
