Ranked board
Every hormone-therapy price we have read first-party, ranked by what a year costs
Hormone therapy is sold the way GLP-1s are, with the same two tricks and one extra. The headline is a floor: almost every price on this board is advertised as "from", and no seller here publishes the dose ladder behind it. The cycle is not always a month: one of these sellers bills every 28 days while printing "per month", which is thirteen charges a year rather than twelve. And the extra one is that a hormone company's advertised price often buys no hormone at all — a membership fee with the medication billed separately, and sometimes not priced anywhere. This board ranks only the rows where a published price buys a medicine, and multiplies each one out to a year. Two of the three sellers here price their whole catalogue, which is why they supply nineteen of the twenty rows — and why the third, which publishes a membership fee and no drug prices at all, supplies one.

What gets on this board
Every priced row on a published review here whose compound names a hormone used in hormone therapy — estrogen, estradiol, estriol, progesterone, testosterone or DHEA — or which the company itself labels HRT. Preparations sold for the skin rather than for hormone therapy are left off, and so is any fee that buys care rather than medicine; both kinds are named underneath with the reason. A company selling six hormone products appears six times, because they are six different products at six different prices.
What decides the order
Ranked by true-year cost, cheapest first — the price of one cycle with no commitment, multiplied by the number of times a year it is actually billed. Nothing is pinned, sponsored, or lifted into position.

Ranked by what a year actually costs
The advertised column is what the company leads with. The walk-away column is what one cycle costs if you stop after it. The year column is the second of those multiplied by the number of times a year it is genuinely billed — which is thirteen, not twelve, for anyone on a four-week cycle.

What this board leaves off, and why
2 priced rows in our reviews look like they could belong on this board and are deliberately not on it. Each is named here with the reason, because a ranking you cannot see the edges of is one you have to take on trust — and every one of these prices is published in full on the review it came from.
Winona — Estriol face cream with tretinoin — sold only as a 3-month supply
It carries a hormone — estriol — but Winona sells it for the skin rather than as hormone therapy, describing it as "a powerful formula tailored for menopausal skin" that targets fine lines, texture and tone. Ranking a face cream against a systemic hormone treatment would put two unrelated purchases in one price column. Its price is on the Winona review with the same two columns, and it is the one Winona product quoted at a flat price rather than "from".
Evernow — Menopause membership — care only, medication billed separately
A care fee that buys no medicine. Evernow states it plainly — "The cost of any medications you are prescribed at Evernow are not included" — and publishes no price for any medication anywhere on its site, so this figure cannot be summed into a treatment price the way a marketplace fee with a published drug price beside it could be. Ranking it here would put a membership against a prescription. It is priced on the Evernow review and ranked on our price-transparency index, and Evernow's other row — where the membership does include the medicine — is on this board.
Key terms
Show definitions
- Walk-away price
- What one cycle costs at the standing, no-commitment rate — what you pay if you stop after it. Not a prepay tier and not a first-month promotion.
- True year
- The walk-away price multiplied by the number of times it is actually billed in a year: 12 on a calendar-month cycle, 13 on a four-week cycle.
- Advertised price
- The figure the company leads with on its own pricing page. It is shown here beside the price you pay rather than instead of it.
What this board does not tell you
Whether you qualify
Coverage varies by state, and several of these companies serve fewer states than they appear to. Each review names the exclusions its company actually discloses.
Whether the care is good
This is a cost ranking and nothing else. We have not assessed anyone's clinical care, and there is no quality score anywhere on this site.
What your insurer pays
Every figure here is a cash price. What a covered drug costs you depends on your own plan's formulary and deductible, and no public source publishes a per-drug copay.
Whether the price will hold
Plans restructure without notice. Every row carries the date it was read so you can see how old the number is before you rely on it.
Frequently asked questions
Does this board say anything about whether hormone therapy is right for you?
No, and it will not. This site ranks what things cost and reports what companies publish; there is no efficacy score anywhere on it, and whether hormone therapy suits you is a question for a clinician who knows your history, not for a pricing page. Every sentence on this board is about a price or about a company's own published words.
Why do two companies have nearly all the rows?
Because they are the two that price everything they sell. Winona and Hone both publish a figure for each hormone product on their own catalogue pages, so each product is a row. The third seller here publishes a membership fee and no drug price at all, which is the commonest shape in this market — its single row is the one plan where the medicine is included in the fee. A board built out of published prices looks lopsided whenever one seller publishes more of them, and we would rather show that than pad the page with prices nobody has verified.
Why is a hormone price on a site about GLP-1 costs?
Because the question is the same one and the answer here is worse. The measure this site applies — is the advertised number the number you are charged, and how many times a year are you charged it — was built for a market that advertises prepay rates as monthly rates. Hormone therapy does the same thing and adds a third move: the price is a floor with no published ladder behind it. The cheapest row on this board is billed thirteen times a year, not twelve, and no page on the seller's own site shows that annual figure.
What does "from" mean on a hormone price?
It means the dose, and it means the seller has not told you the rest. The companies here set a dose after a medical intake and price the prescription accordingly, and none of them publishes a dose-price table. So the figures on this board are the least each product can cost, which is a real and checkable number, and not a quote. Where a seller's own terms confirm the price moves with the prescription, the row on its review says so and quotes the sentence.
