Short answer: if you want a subscription model, Keeps is often the cheapest legitimate finasteride subscription, with Hims and Roman close behind. The absolute lowest out‑of‑pocket option is usually buying generic finasteride through a pharmacy using a GoodRx or Blink Health coupon (Walmart/Costco/CVS), rather than a branded telehealth subscription.
Why:
- Keeps — built around low‑cost generic finasteride with telehealth visits included and automatic refills/shipments, so per‑month cost tends to be the lowest among the mainstream subscription services.
- Hims and Roman — similar telehealth + subscription models, slightly higher prices at times but reliable and easy to use.
- GoodRx / Blink Health + local pharmacy (Walmart, Costco, CVS, Walgreens) — you can often get the cheapest cash price for generic finasteride (no subscription required). These coupon/discount programs frequently beat subscription plan prices if you just want the lowest bill.
Things to consider:
- Make sure you’re getting generic finasteride (1 mg) and that the service is licensed in your state/country.
- Telehealth services include a consult fee or questionnaire; factor that into first‑month cost.
- A 90‑day supply is usually cheaper per month than monthly refills.
- If you have insurance, use your plan + local pharmacy — that may be cheapest of all.
- Monitor for side effects and follow up with the prescriber if needed.
If you tell me your country (or US ZIP code and whether you have insurance), I can give more tailored guidance on current cheapest options and how to check prices.
