Maximus vs Ulo
Maximus: A men's hormone-health platform with a flat, published hair menu: three single orals, three compounded gels and three combinations, every price on one page and the doctor included.
Ulo: A dermatologist-led compounding shop that lists every dose and every add-on as its own priced line, so the bill is knowable before the intake form rather than after it.

| Billing | Priced per month but dispensed as a 90-day supply, so the first charge covers three months | Monthly, with 30% advertised off 12-month plans |
| Cancellation | Cancel from your account between 90-day refills | Cancel before the prescription is sent to the pharmacy |

| Watch out for | Every price is quoted per month but billed as a 90-day supply, so the cheapest line is $24.99/mo only as a $75 charge up front. Dutasteride is prescribed off-label for hair loss, and the gels are compounded, so neither is FDA-approved in that form. | The site banner advertises a '365-day money-back guarantee', but the published refund policy says refunds are granted at Ulo's sole discretion and may require you to return the product at your own expense and send photographs. Treat the guarantee as a request, not a right. |
The black tag marks the lower price where both providers publish one. Shaded prices are still pending a checkout check. Full detail: Maximus · Ulo.
