Online TRT Clinics (Most Popular Option)
These are often the most affordable and convenient:
- Defy Medical – ~$200–$400/month, highly regarded, comprehensive care
- Fountain TRT – ~$149–$199/month, straightforward pricing
- Hone Health – ~$75–$200/month, includes initial testing
- Maximus – ~$129/month, budget-friendly option
- BodyLogicMD – varies, more personalized/premium approach
Medication Costs Alone
- Testosterone Cypionate injections – ~$30–$80/month (cheapest form)
- Testosterone gels (AndroGel) – ~$200–$500/month without insurance
- Pellets – ~$500–$1,000 every 3–6 months
Key Cost Factors
- Type of testosterone (injections are cheapest)
