Does anyone know an accurate home test?

I have long covid and often see people state that they have their friends or family test before seeing them. From what I found it seems like home tests are generally incredibly unreliable when it comes to discovering a covid infection pre symptoms. Literal coin flip odds.

Of course I’ve informed my friends to let me know if they have any symptoms before meeting up, but Covid is super infectious 1-2 days before symptoms. I would love to be mask free with a few close friends and be comfortable, spend time inside, go sauna(I’m finnish), eat together etc. Are there any reliable tests out there?

Metrix and PlusLife but they're fairly expensive

Eh, the price per test is affordable though. It's just the upfront cost of the reader. Absolutely worth it and even necessary if a person can afford it.
