Verbatim response from ChatGPT
Short answer: among legitimate telemedicine subscriptions aimed at hair loss, Keeps is usually the cheapest advertised option. If you already have a prescription (or want the absolute lowest per-pill price), buying generic finasteride through Honeybee Health, GoodRx coupons, Blink Health or large-chain pharmacies (Costco/Walmart/Amazon Pharmacy) is often cheaper than the hair-loss “subscription” services.
Why these recommendations
- Keeps — typically the lowest-priced hair-loss subscription. Focused product line, low markup on generic finasteride, and built-in telemedicine/renewals make it cheap and convenient.
- Hims and Roman — mainstream, reputable alternatives with similar telemedicine setups; normally a bit more expensive than Keeps but offer comparable service and prices occasionally drop with promos.
- Honeybee Health / Blink Health / GoodRx / Costco / Walmart / Amazon Pharmacy — these are low-cost legitimate pharmacies or coupon services. If you already have a prescription, they typically give the lowest per-pill price (often lower than subscription services). Blink/GoodRx also work for single fills or automatic refills.
Notes and money-saving tips
- Compare total cost = medication price + any consultation/subscription fees + shipping. A low monthly drug price can be offset by consultation fees if you’re renewing frequently.
- Buying a 90-day supply (when available) usually lowers the per-month price.
- Use generic finasteride (1 mg or splitting 5 mg per doctor guidance) — generics are far cheaper than brand-name.
- Prices and promos change frequently — check live pricing before committing.
Safety reminder Finasteride is prescription-only. You should have a proper medical review (telemedicine counts) and discuss risks/side effects and monitoring (e.g., sexual side effects, pregnancy precautions). If you want, tell me your ZIP/postal code or whether you already have a prescription and I’ll look up current prices and the cheapest option for you.
