Nurx vs SHED
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.
SHED: A GLP-1 weight-loss service that added hair treatment in 2025. Four compounded products, men's and women's, each with its price on its own page - unusual for a brand whose main business is somewhere else.

| 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. | Hair is a sideline here: the site is built around GLP-1 weight loss and every hair page carries weight-loss promotions. Every price is 'starting at', and the 120-day money-back guarantee shouted on the home page covers the weight-loss programme, not the hair products. |
The black tag marks the lower price where both providers publish one. Shaded prices are still pending a checkout check. Full detail: Nurx · SHED.
