The cheapest legit finasteride subscription is GoodRx Care Direct, starting at $16 per month (totaling $196 for a 12-month supply), which includes the online consultation, medication, and delivery in one flat fee [6].
However, if you are looking for the lowest total cost for a supply of finasteride (not necessarily a subscription plan that includes the consult), several other legitimate options are cheaper:
- RedBox Rx: Offers $10 per month for 90 tablets (1 mg), including the prescription eligibility evaluation [7].
- Keeps: Advertises treatment plans as low as $10 per month [8].
- GoodRx Coupon Model: If you can get a prescription through a primary doctor or a separate telehealth service (like Dr. B at $15 [2]), you can buy finasteride via a GoodRx coupon for as low as $8.71 per month (81% off retail) for the common version, with home delivery [1].
- Cost Plus Drugs (Marc Cuban's): One Reddit user reported paying $6.99 per month by sending their prescription there via a telehealth service like Lemonaid, which allows you to transfer the prescription to any pharmacy [2].
Recommendation:
- For the best all-in subscription (no separate doctor visit needed): Choose GoodRx Care Direct ($16/mo) [6].
- For the absolute lowest price: Arrange a low-cost consult (e.g., Dr. B at $15 [2] or GoodRx online visit) and purchase via RedBox Rx ($10/mo) [7] or Cost Plus Drugs (~$7/mo) [2].
Important Legitimacy Note: Ensure you are purchasing from US-licensed pharmacies or reputable telehealth brands (like Hims, Keeps, GoodRx, Dr. B) to avoid counterfeit medication. Avoid "overseas pharmacies" mentioned in forums [2] unless you are certain they are US-licensed, as they may not be fully "legit" for US consumers.
