If it might be testosterone

Low drive, low energy, flat mood?

ED and low testosterone overlap but aren't the same thing. For testosterone, a lab test comes first. We track testosterone telehealth separately, starting with enclomiphene and TRT.

The one trick that matters

"Starting at $22/mo" and "$2 per dose" aren't comparable. Here's how to fix that.

Every service frames its price differently, so the only fair comparison is the price per dose. Do this on the checkout screen, before you pay:

Plan price÷Doses per cycle=Your real price per dose
  1. Find the number of doses in the plan (not just the monthly price).
  2. Check the billing cycle: monthly, quarterly or yearly.
  3. Note the cancel deadline before renewal.

How this site works

Four promises

Read the methodology
01

Every number has a source

Prices come from each provider's own published pages, linked under every table.

02

Every number has a date

You always see when a price was last checked. Old numbers get re-checked, not hidden.

03

Generic vs compounded, labeled

We tag every product as an FDA-approved generic, a brand, or compounded.

04

No medical advice

I compare prices and terms. Whether a medication is right for you is a clinician's call.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest way to get ED medication online?

Generic medication is the big saving. Among the services we track, the lowest published price is generic sildenafil at $2 for a 20 mg dose on Ro's price list (checked Oct 27, 2026). Brand-name Viagra is listed at $90 on the same page. Always compare the price per dose, not the "starting at" monthly price.

Is it safe to buy ED medication online?

Use a service where a licensed clinician reviews your health history before prescribing and a licensed pharmacy fills the order. Avoid any site that sells ED drugs without a prescription. Never combine ED medication with nitrates.

What does "compounded" mean on these sites?

A compounded product is prepared by a pharmacy, often to make a chew or combine two drugs. The FDA does not approve or verify compounded drugs. FDA-approved generics (sildenafil, tadalafil) and brand-name drugs are a separate category, and we label every product accordingly.

Do you get paid by these companies?

We may earn a commission if you sign up through our links. It never decides what we write or how we rank: prices come straight from each provider's published pages, with the source and the date we checked.
