TRT Watchdog

Independent comparison of online testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) programs: all-in monthly prices, lab costs, what's included and who prescribes, checked against each program's own site.

TRT Watchdog is independent. Some programs pay us a commission when a reader signs up; that never changes a score (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 7, 2026.

  • Programs compared: 15
  • Testosterone is a controlled substance: Testosterone is Schedule III under federal law. The DEA lets clinicians prescribe it by telemedicine without an in-person visit through December 31, 2026 (its fourth temporary extension). A permanent rule is expected but not yet published; without one or another extension, the in-person requirement returns on January 1, 2027.
  • Membership plus medication, or one price?: Several programs advertise the medication price and add a monthly membership at checkout (Hims, Hone, Male Excel). Others quote one price with the doctor and medication included (Taurus, MangoRx, Maximus). Our headline prices always add the membership.
  • Who pays for the labs?: You need blood work before and during TRT. Some programs include it (Taurus follow-ups, MangoRx, Hone every 90 days); others charge on top, from $49 for a first test to $247 or more for a full panel.
  • The cheapest month usually means prepaying: The lowest monthly prices come with 6- or 12-month plans paid up front, and many programs refund nothing once medication ships. Check the month-to-month price too.
  • FDA-approved or compounded?: Xyosted and Kyzatrex are FDA-approved; most online programs dispense compounded testosterone mixed by a pharmacy, which is not FDA-approved as a finished product. Each card says which.
  • Testosterone is a controlled substance: Telehealth prescribing of Schedule III drugs like testosterone currently runs on a DEA extension that ends December 31, 2026. If no permanent rule replaces it, an in-person visit becomes required again.
  • Want to keep your fertility?: Testosterone can lower sperm production. Enclomiphene raises your own testosterone instead, and some programs add hCG. Ask before you start.
  • Insurance rarely applies: Almost every online TRT program is cash only. Some accept FSA or HSA cards, and a few let insurance cover the lab work.
