Short answer: For a legit, recurring (subscription) service, Keeps is generally the cheapest option for generic finasteride. However, the absolute lowest cost often comes from paying cash at a local pharmacy with a GoodRx/SingleCare coupon or getting a 90‑day supply — so compare both routes before committing.
Why and where to check (quick comparisons):
- Keeps — Often the lowest subscription price for generic finasteride and built specifically around hair‑loss treatment subscriptions. It bundles telehealth evaluation + automated refills, making it straightforward and inexpensive for ongoing use.
- Lemonaid Health — Competitive pricing and a single, low telehealth fee + recurring shipments. Good option if you want a simple telemedicine + meds combination.
- Nurx (Ro/Roman/Hims) — Roman, Hims, and Nurx all offer similar telehealth + subscription models; prices tend to be a bit higher than Keeps but they run promotions and sometimes have free or discounted first months. Choose these if you prefer their app, support, or packaging.
- Local pharmacy + GoodRx or SingleCare — Often the cheapest single-month out‑of‑pocket price for generic finasteride (and you can get a 90‑day supply to lower monthly cost). This isn’t a subscription from the company, but you can set pharmacy refills to auto‑renew and pair that with the coupon every refill.
- Costco/Walmart pharmacies — Known for low cash prices on generics; worth comparing if you have access.
Important notes:
- Finasteride is prescription‑only. Legit services include a telehealth visit or require a valid prescription from a provider. Don’t use unverified overseas sellers.
- Prices change, and discounts/promotions vary. Check current costs on each site and compare total monthly price = med price + any consult or shipping fees.
- Insurance often doesn’t cover finasteride for cosmetic hair loss; check your plan.
- Talk to a clinician about side effects and whether finasteride is appropriate for you before starting.
