Do you mean in the United States or another country? Prices and available services vary a lot by location.
If you’re in the US, short answer + practical options:
-
Cheapest overall (medicine-only): use a coupon/price-comparison service to fill generic finasteride at a retail or mail-order pharmacy. Good options: GoodRx, SingleCare, Blink Health, Costco Pharmacy, Walmart/Sam’s Club. These often get generic finasteride 1 mg down to the lowest per‑month cost because you’re paying just for the drug, no ongoing telehealth premium.
-
Cheapest legit telehealth subscription (consultation + automatic refills): Keeps, Hims, or Roman. Keeps frequently advertises the lowest subscription price for generic finasteride and offers automatic refills and follow‑ups; Hims and Roman are comparable and sometimes run promotions. Which is cheapest for you will depend on current promos, shipping, and whether you want added products (shampoos, topical minoxidil, etc.).
Why these choices:
- GoodRx/SingleCare/Blink Health: let you compare and get large discounts at pharmacies (lowest cash price).
- Costco/Walmart: bulk/retail pharmacy prices are often the best if you have a prescription.
- Keeps/Hims/Roman: licensed telehealth + automated monthly shipments, simple online consult, generally the lowest among telehealth brands.
How to get the absolute cheapest:
- Get a prescription (your PCP or a telehealth visit — telehealth may be free or bundled).
- Price-check the generic (finasteride 1 mg or 5 mg split) on GoodRx/SingleCare/Blink and at Costco/Walmart.
- Compare that cash price to the advertised subscription price from Keeps/Hims/Roman including shipping/consult fees.
- Choose the lowest total monthly cost.
Safety note: finasteride requires a prescription and has potential side effects. Don’t buy from unverified overseas sites. If you want, tell me your country and whether you want a telehealth subscription (vs. just the cheapest fill), and I’ll check the best specific option and how to proceed.
