How we rank
We never accept payment for placement. Rankings reflect public pricing, user ratings, and editorial judgment using the same five-factor framework on every program: clinical model, pricing transparency, state availability, cancellation terms, customer experience. When we earn affiliate commission, it does not change a brand's position. Read our full disclosure.

Start from your priority
There's no single best program, only the best one for what you care about most. Pick your priority.
- If your priority is just starting to thin→ Early action matters most, finasteride + minoxidil is first-line
- If your priority is avoiding oral side effects→ Topical finasteride and topical minoxidil minimize systemic exposure
- If your priority is maximum dht suppression→ Dutasteride suppresses more DHT than finasteride (off-label)
- If your priority is one simple routine→ Combination programs bundle the actives into fewer steps
- If your priority is lowest cost→ Generic finasteride is the cheapest evidence-backed option
Hidden costs to watch for
The sticker price is rarely the whole bill. Before you enroll, check each of these.
- Dose-escalation price jumps
- Many programs price the starter dose low, then raise the monthly cost at higher titration steps. Confirm the price at the maintenance dose, not just week 1.
- Membership fee on top of medication
- Some platforms split the bill: a low medication price plus a separate monthly membership. Add both to get the true monthly cost.
- Required lab work
- A baseline A1C or metabolic panel may be required and billed separately if not bundled. Ask whether labs are included.
- Cancellation friction & lock-ins
- Watch for multi-month commitments, auto-renew after an intro month, and cancel-by-phone-only flows. The intro price is not the renewal price.
- Shipping & cold-chain fees
- Injectable GLP-1s ship cold. Some programs add a shipping or handling fee per order, especially for expedited or summer cold-pack shipping.

Every active telehealth program in our database for this category.
Ranked above by the cheapest metric.
What this ranking measures. Sorted by lowest monthly starting price. Cheaper isn't always better, read each program's fit notes.
How we built the candidate list. We track every US-licensed telehealth program that prescribes in this category. We exclude programs that don't serve all 50 states transparently, charge undisclosed re-engagement fees, or require irrevocable contracts. None of these exclusions are subjective. They are documented rules in our full methodology.
What we did not do. We did not clinically evaluate any patient. We did not enroll undercover. Pricing on this page reflects each program's publicly listed rates as of the “last reviewed” date. Insurance acceptance and PA outcomes vary by plan; check with your insurer.
What we did do. Mystery-shopped sign-up flows, compared formularies on each provider's public site, recorded time-to-first-shipment where reported, and confirmed state availability against each program's self-reported coverage map.
