Online Birth Control vs. Planned Parenthood
Online Services Are Generally Easier and Often Cheaper
Top Online Options:
Nurx
- ~$15-25/month for pills (with insurance often $0)
- App-based, prescription delivered to your door
- No appointment needed
The Pill Club
- Similar pricing, often includes free delivery
- Good insurance integration
- Ships 3-month supplies
Hey Jane / Wisp
- Competitive pricing
- Quick online consultations
Planned Parenthood Direct (their own app)
- Available in many states
- Connects to PP services digitally
When Planned Parenthood (In-Person) Makes More Sense:
- You need IUDs, implants, or injections (requires in-person procedure)
- You want STI testing at the same visit
- You have no insurance and qualify for sliding scale fees
- You prefer face-to-face care
Bottom Line:
For pills, patches, or rings, online services like Nurx or The Pill Club are typically faster and cheaper (sometimes free with insurance).
For long-term methods, Planned Parenthood is worth the visit.
