Online Birth Control vs. Planned Parenthood
Online Services Are Generally Easier and Often Cheaper
Top Online Options:
- Nurx - Prescriptions starting around $0-$15/month with insurance; telehealth consultation included, delivered to your door
- Planned Parenthood Direct (their own app) - Same trusted provider, online convenience in many states
- Wisp - Competitive pricing, fast consultations
- Hey Jane - Good for reproductive health broadly
- Pill Club - Often has $0 copay with many insurance plans
Quick Comparison
| Factor | Online Services | In-Person Planned Parenthood |
|---|---|---|
| Convenience | ✅ Much easier | Requires travel/appointment |
| Wait times | ✅ Often same day | Can be weeks |
| Cost (insured) | ✅ Often $0 | Usually low cost |
| Cost (uninsured) | Varies | Sliding scale based on income |
| IUDs/implants | ❌ Not available | ✅ Available |
Bottom Line
- For pills, patches, or rings → Online services win on convenience
- If you're uninsured with low income → Planned Parenthood's sliding scale may be cheaper
- For IUDs or implants → You need in-person care regardless
