  • Prices for membership tiers, the initial lab test and most individual medications are listed on the site
  • Initial consult is a live 45-minute video visit with a licensed physician
  • Trustpilot 4.8 from 12,416 reviews; BBB A+ and accredited

Choose Maximus if…

Men who want fertility-sparing testosterone options such as enclomiphene or oral T with published prices, and who are comfortable committing to a multi-month plan.

  • Per-protocol monthly prices, lab kit prices and plan-length discounts are all published
  • Offers fertility-preserving options (enclomiphene alone or combined with testosterone)
  • Accepts recent outside bloodwork (within 6 months, with specified markers) in place of a new test

Price: what you actually pay

Hone Health

The first step is a $65 50+ biomarker test plus physician consult; the how-it-works page also shows a $25 onboarding fee next to the $25 Basic plan. Basic ($25/mo) covers testing every 6 months and lets you buy consults. Premium ($155/mo) adds testing every 3 months, physician consults and all treatments. Medication is extra, e.g. testosterone injections 'From $28/mo + membership', testosterone cream 'From $60/mo + membership', enclomiphene 'From $42/mo + membership'.

Maximus

Injectable TRT shows $199.99 on a 1-month plan, $149.99/mo on a 3-month plan and $99.99/mo on a 6-month plan (first month $49.99 as a limited-time offer). Oral testosterone + enclomiphene runs $249.99 / $199.99 / $149.99 per month. Protocol prices cover provider visits, medication and shipping, but not 'video consultations (where applicable)' or lab tests: the at-home testosterone test kit is $99.99, and the Maximus Labs panels are $199.99/yr or $349.99/yr.
