Know Before You Go

Men's health

The big men's-health platforms work like this: a free online assessment, a clinician reviews it, and treatment — if it's appropriate — is a paid subscription shipped to your door. The assessment being free does not make the care free, so every listing here is labeled for what it is.

One caution worth printing on the shelf itself: erectile dysfunction can be an early sign of cardiovascular disease or diabetes. An online assessment is a starting point; a physical exam still matters, especially for a new symptom.

Platforms & assessments

Hims

A paid men’s telehealth clinic for ED, hair loss, testosterone, weight loss and mental health: you complete an online intake, a licensed provider reviews it, and prescription medication ships to you if the provider judges it appropriate.

Who pays: You pay out of pocket — membership/subscription plus medication. It is a direct-pay model, not insurance billing.

Price: The online consultation is free; treatment is not. No single starting price is published on its homepage — e.g., its weight-loss membership is $39 for the first month then $149/month, with medication charged separately.

Age: Ages 18+ for men’s services, per Hims’ terms.

Privacy: Your intake goes to a licensed provider for the consultation — this is a clinic, not an anonymous tool.

Price: Published on Ro’s own pricing page: finasteride from $16/month (12-month plan); generic sildenafil from $4 per 25mg dose; Ro Body weight-loss membership $39 for the first month, then $74/month on the annual prepaid plan — medication not included.

Hone Health

A paid online testosterone and longevity clinic for men: you buy a lab test, a licensed physician reviews your labs and health history in a telehealth consult, and medication ships to your door if prescribed. Know this before you start: <b>there is no free assessment here</b> — the first step is the paid lab test.

Who pays: You pay each layer separately: the test, then a monthly membership, then medication on top.

Price: Advanced lab test $65 (confirmatory test $25). Basic membership $25/month; Premium $155/month. TRT prescriptions run about $28–$60/month, on top of membership.

Age: Ages 18+, per Hone’s terms of use.

Privacy: Hone notes it is not itself the medical group — care is provided by independent practitioners on its platform.

What's actually free for men

TRULY FREE

No free version of the platforms above exists — the whole online men's-health business runs on subscriptions. But two pieces of men's care are genuinely free, and both sit outside the funnels:

Free STI & HIV testing: The CDC's GetTested locator finds testing near you, and many health-department clinics listed there offer free HIV, STI and hepatitis C tests — no insurance needed. Check each listing for its "Free Services Available" flags.

Sliding-scale clinics: Planned Parenthood health centers see men for STI testing and treatment and other sexual-health care, priced on a sliding scale by income — at the lowest incomes some tests cost $0. Call your local center and ask its scale before you go.
