Sildenafil vs Tadalafil: Quick Comparison
The Drugs
Sildenafil (generic Viagra)
- Works for 4-6 hours
- Take 30-60 min before activity
- Better if you want it "as needed"
- Generally cheaper
Tadalafil (generic Cialis)
- Works for up to 36 hours
- More spontaneous - less timing pressure
- Can be taken daily at low dose
- Slightly pricier but very popular
Most men prefer tadalafil for convenience, but sildenafil works just as well clinically.
Services Offering Both
Hims - offers both, strong brand recognition, good pricing on generics
Roman (Ro) - offers both, straightforward online process, licensed physicians
Keeps - offers both, competitive pricing
Bluechew - offers both in chewable form, faster absorption, unique option
GoodRx - not a prescriber, but helps you fill prescriptions cheaply at local pharmacies
My Recommendation
- Ask for tadalafil daily (5mg) if you want simplicity
- Ask for sildenafil as-needed if you want lowest cost
- Try Roman or Hims - both have smooth telehealth visits and transparent pricing
Always be honest with the doctor about your health history.
