Methodology

Plain rules, applied to every provider the same way.

Sources

Every price comes from the provider's own public pages, linked from its listing with the date checked. We never estimate or guess a listed price, and we never copy prices from other comparison sites.

Data labels

Verified read on the provider's own price page. From search the provider's own words as shown in Google results, used only when its site blocks automated checks; we show the snippet and the result address. Awaiting not yet verified; we still list the provider so you see the whole market.

First-year estimates

Shown only when the provider's own prices cover initial labs, the first visit, monthly care and medication, and the plan includes follow-up labs. The estimate is initial costs plus 12 months of the lowest listed plan. It is labelled an estimate: dose, form and the labs your clinician orders change the total.

Trust signals

We show LegitScript certification, a named lab partner (for example Quest Diagnostics or Labcorp) and the number of states served only when the provider's own pages state them.

Freshness

Verified prices older than 30 days stop our site from publishing until they are rechecked.

Ordering

Verified first, then From search, then lowest listed monthly price. You can re-sort by labs, first visit, first year or rating. We never move a provider up because of ownership or payment. Any paid placement will be labelled "Sponsored" and kept outside the price order.

Ratings

We show a rating only with its exact score and review count from a named review site, weighted by review count across sites.

No medical advice

We compare listed prices and public facts only. Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance in the US. It needs a prescription from a licensed clinician after an evaluation, usually including lab tests. This is general information, not legal or medical advice.
