Men's Health Watchdog

Independent comparison of US online men's health programs for erectile dysfunction, hair loss, premature ejaculation, low testosterone and lab tests: who prescribes, which pharmacy fills it, FDA-approved generic or compounded, and the all-in price per pill and per month, checked against each program's own site.

Men's Health Watchdog is independent. Scores use published weights (price 30%, transparency 25%, care 20%, access 15%, reputation 10%). Every price links to the provider page it was read from. Prices last checked November 13, 2026.

Key facts

• Top-scored: Ro: score 9.2/10, from $16/month (12-month plan; ships quarterly), FDA-approved + compounded medication, medication in price: included
• Second: Rex MD: score 9.1/10, from $18/month (reduced price with a 6-month order), FDA-approved medication, medication in price: included
• Third: Happy Head: score 8.8/10, from $18/month ($108 every 6 months), FDA-approved + compounded medication, medication in price: included
• Lowest all-in monthly price we found: $14 at Keeps (Finasteride 1 mg, billed every 3, 6 or 12 months)
• Programs compared: 25
• Compounded is not FDA-approved, and fake ED pills are common: Generic sildenafil, tadalafil and finasteride tablets are FDA-approved. Compounded chews, mints, troches, sprays and multi-drug formulas are mixed by a pharmacy and are not FDA-approved, which means the FDA does not check their safety, effectiveness or quality before sale. Outside licensed programs, the FDA warns that many websites sell prescription drugs without a prescription, and it keeps finding sildenafil and tadalafil hidden in 'natural' sexual enhancement products. Its BeSafeRx program explains how to check that an online pharmacy is licensed.
• FDA-approved generic or compounded?: Generic sildenafil, tadalafil and finasteride tablets are FDA-approved. Chews, mints, sprays and multi-drug formulas are compounded by a pharmacy and are not FDA-approved. Every plan on this site is labelled one or the other.
• Price per pill and pills per month: A low per-pill price can sit on a large monthly pack, and a low monthly price can mean four pills. We show both, plus the pack size where the program states it.
• Paid upfront?: Many headline prices are 3-, 6- or 12-month plans paid in full, and some programs keep billing the remaining term if you cancel early. Check the month-to-month price too.
• Consult and other fees: Most programs include the online visit. Lemonaid charges a one-time consult, Keeps charges a small annual consult after the first, and Hone sells a membership on top of the medication. Our headline prices add every required fee we can find.
• Can the prescription go to your own pharmacy?: Some programs say they can send it to a pharmacy you choose, where a cash price or your insurance may be cheaper. Cost Plus Drugs, for example, fills generics at cost plus a fixed fee.
• How far ahead must you cancel?: Cut-offs range from 24 to 48 hours before the next order, and most programs refund nothing once the pharmacy starts processing. Each review quotes the program's own terms.
• A LegitScript seal ID, or just a logo?: A real LegitScript seal is served by LegitScript with a seal ID tied to the domain. A logo image hosted on the program's own site proves nothing on its own. Each review says which one we found.
• Never buy without a prescription: Sites that sell ED pills with no prescription are the main source of fakes, and FDA keeps finding sildenafil and tadalafil hidden in 'natural' sexual enhancement products.
