Which one fits?
Choose Ro if…
Users who valued Ro's clinical approach in another category (weight, herpes) and want the same provider experience for ED.
Strengths
- · Strong provider relationships
- · Generic sildenafil from $2/pill
- · Free 2-day shipping
- · Branded Viagra available without separate clinic
Drawbacks
- · Entry price slightly above Hims
- · No chewable option
Our take: Ro started in ED and the original Roman brand still feels more clinical than its competitors. Slightly higher entry price than Hims, but the provider experience is tighter. Pick this if 'just barely the cheapest' isn't your priority.
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.
