Methodology

How we compare services

No star ratings, no secret scores. Just published facts, organized so you can compare them yourself.

1. Where the numbers come from

Every price and term on this site comes from the provider's own published pages: pricing pages, product pages and FAQs. Each table links to the exact page it came from. We don't take prices from third-party reviews, and we don't estimate prices that aren't published. When a provider doesn't publish something (for example, a price that only appears inside a quiz), we say so instead of guessing.

2. How prices are shown

We show each price the way the provider frames it: per strength, per dose, or "starting at" per month. We never convert one format into another and present it as the provider's price. Where we do calculate something (for example, a monthly plan divided by its dose count), we say it's our calculation.

3. Generic, brand or compounded

Every product carries one of four labels:

  • FDA-approved generic — same active ingredient as the brand, approved by the FDA.
  • Brand name — the original FDA-approved drug (for example Viagra or Cialis).
  • Compounded — prepared by a pharmacy; the FDA does not approve or verify compounded drugs.
  • Prescription — the provider doesn't publish which of the above it is.

4. How verdicts are written

We don't give numeric scores. Each review and comparison ends in a plain-English verdict built from three questions: who is this a good fit for, what's the catch, and what would someone in a different situation choose instead? Verdicts describe fit, not medical suitability.

5. Keeping it current

Every table shows the date it was last checked (most recent check: Oct 27, 2026). Prices older than 45 days are automatically flagged for re-checking before the site is published. When a number changes, the page's "updated" date changes too.

6. Medical information

Medical facts come only from primary sources: FDA prescribing information, clinical guidelines (such as the American Urological Association and Endocrine Society) and peer-reviewed studies, all cited on the page. We summarize; we don't advise. See the medical disclaimer.

7. Money

We may earn a commission when you sign up through our links. Commission never changes a price we show, a verdict we write or the order in which services appear. Details are on the disclosure page.
