Online birth control pills without insurance typically cost $12 to $25 per month, though the price can range from $7 to $150 depending on the brand (generic vs. brand-name) and the specific online provider you choose [1][2][4].
Here are specific online providers and their monthly costs for uninsured users:
| Provider | Monthly Cost (Without Insurance) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Hers | $12/month | Subscription plans start at this flat rate [4] |
| Nurx | $15/month | Brands start at this price; free delivery included [7] |
| Free The Pill | $25/month | Also offers a quarterly option for $45 [2] |
| Pandia Health | $7/pack (approx. $10–$20/month) | Selected pills cost as low as $7/pack (12-pack minimum) [3] |
| Wisp | $15–$25/month | Patch starts at $12; specific pills like Slynd at $25 [9] |
| Planned Parenthood Direct | ~$28/month | $84 every 3 months for generic POP [6] |
Key factors affecting cost:
- Generic vs. Brand: Generic pills (e.g., norethindrone) are often $9–$35/month, while brand-name pills (e.g., Lo Loestrin Fe) can reach $200+/month [1][5].
- Over-the-Counter (OTC): The new OTC option Opill costs $340/year (about $28/month) and is 98% effective [5].
- Consultation Fees: Some services like Walgreens Virtual Care charge a separate $33 consultation fee not included in the medication cost [8], while others like Hers and Nurx bundle the consultation.
For the most affordable option, Hers offers the lowest starting rate at $12/month, while Pandia Health offers the lowest per-pack price at $7 for selected generics [3][4].
