Which one fits?
Choose Hims if…
First-time online ED buyers who want the cheapest reliable option with a brand that's been around.
Strengths
- · Lowest entry price in the category ($13/mo generic)
- · Free online provider visit
- · Discreet, unmarked packaging
- · Largest reviewer base — patterns are well-documented
Drawbacks
- · No chewable format
- · Subscription auto-renews — set a calendar reminder if unsure
Our take: Hims essentially defined the modern online ED category. Reliable, well-priced, and the generic sildenafil at $13/mo is the price-floor most competitors benchmark against. Hard to go wrong unless you specifically want chewables or branded products.
Choose REX MD if…
Men shopping more than one telehealth need (ED + hair, ED + T) who want a single provider relationship.
Strengths
- · Cross-category bundling reduces total visit cost
- · Same-day appointments
- · Branded medications available, not just generics
Drawbacks
- · Single-category pricing is mid-pack
- · Unavailable in Louisiana
Our take: REX MD bundles ED, hair loss, and testosterone into one platform. If you're shopping multiple men's-health categories, the bundling cuts duplicate provider fees. As a single-category ED option, less compelling than Hims or Ro.
