Most Cost-Effective Starting Point
Generic minoxidil + generic finasteride from a service like Keeps or Hims gives you clinically proven results for roughly $30-40/month, including the prescription consultation.
Note: Results typically take 3-6 months to show, so budget for consistent long-term use.
