Nurx vs Rogaine
Nurx: A women's telehealth service whose hair offer is a compounded topical. It is one of the few here that states both numbers plainly: the medication is cheap, the consultation is not.
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 | The $80 initial consultation is the highest upfront fee in this index - four times Dr. B's $19 and more than three times Lemonaid's $25. At $20 a month for the medication, the consultation alone is the first four months. Women only; no finasteride, no dutasteride, no oral option. | 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: Nurx · Rogaine.
