Generic Viagra (sildenafil) through online services typically costs $1 to $10 per dose, with the lowest prices found at RedBox Rx ($1 per 20 mg tablet) and Hims ($4 per dose for a 30-day supply)[1][4][5].
Here is a breakdown of costs by service and dosage:
| Service | Lowest Price Per Dose | Typical Monthly Cost (4 doses) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| RedBox Rx | $1 (20 mg) | $100 (20 tablets) | Discounts for larger quantities; free consultation[4] |
| GoodRx Care | $4.50 (avg) | $18 total | Subscription includes visit, meds, and shipping[3][6] |
| Hims | $4 | $16 (4 doses) | 25 mg dose; free consultation[1][5] |
| Ro | $4 | $32 (8 doses) | 25 mg dose; recurring plan required[1][2] |
| Rex MD | $1.60 (20 mg) | $24 (4 doses) | 20 mg dose; free consultation[1] |
| ZipHealth | $1.50 | $96 (64 tablets) | Price drops with larger quantity packs[7] |
Key Factors Influencing Cost:
- Dosage Strength: Lower milligram doses (e.g., 20 mg or 25 mg) are cheaper than 50 mg or 100 mg [1][4][5].
- Quantity: Buying larger packs (e.g., 64 tablets) often reduces the per-pill cost to $1.50 or less [7].
- Subscription Plans: Services like Ro and GoodRx require recurring monthly plans to access the lowest rates ($4/dose and $18/month, respectively) [2][6].
- Consultation Fees: Most reputable services (Hims, Ro, Rex MD, RedBox Rx) include the doctor consultation in the total price, whereas others like Optum may charge a separate $25 visit fee [1][5].
Brand-name Viagra costs significantly more, ranging from $90 to $139 per dose, making generic sildenafil roughly 95% cheaper in most cases [1][2][5].
