Nurx vs Ro (Roman)
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.
Ro (Roman): One of the original men's telehealth platforms, now with a women's line too. No commitment, cancel after one order, and a 3-in-1 spray that adds tretinoin.

| 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. | Every Ro price assumes a plan commitment: the lowest figure is the 12-month plan and the quarterly plan costs more. The product pages themselves no longer show prices - only ro.co/pricing/ does. Women are sold a different topical, Hair Solution Rx at $40/mo, rather than the $16 generic minoxidil. Earlier third-party reports of $15 were wrong. |
The black tag marks the lower price where both providers publish one. Shaded prices are still pending a checkout check. Full detail: Nurx · Ro (Roman).
