DudeMeds vs Rogaine
DudeMeds: A men's telehealth service with a hair programme and a pricing page that asks for your details before it will quote you. Nothing it charges is printed anywhere public.
Rogaine: The original over-the-counter minoxidil, and the reason this index includes a shelf product at all: it is the option most people reach for first, and it is not the cheapest way to buy the molecule.

| Watch out for | DudeMeds has a page headed 'Find your treatment. Know your price' which does not show a price. You submit your details and are told later. Checked by hand on 24 Oct 2026: there is no figure for any hair treatment anywhere on the public site. | Rogaine is the brand everyone knows and it is not the cheapest minoxidil here: Keeps sells 5% topical minoxidil at $10 a month and Hers at $12.67, both with a clinician attached. Rogaine's own page sends you to retailers rather than selling direct, so what you pay depends on which one you click. It is minoxidil only - there is no finasteride or dutasteride route here at any price. |
The black tag marks the lower price where both providers publish one. Shaded prices are still pending a checkout check. Full detail: DudeMeds · Rogaine.
