How Do Our Prices Compare To Subscription Sites?

Thursday, August 4, 2022

We thought we would give you an insight into how subscription sites work and how they get you in with their subscription discounts and appealing introductory prices. Although, they are not always necessarily the cheapest.

We have compared some of the most well-known subscription sites on the web; Numan, Sons, Manual and Hims.

Subscription sites

As you can see from the image above you will receive a £1 monthly discount when you purchase a 3-month, 6-month or 12-month treatment plan, otherwise, if you want to purchase just one month at a time the cost would be £38 per month. Meaning you will save £3 over 3 months, £6 over 6 and so on.

When you register to Numan, you receive an introductory voucher for 60% off, this entitles you to 60% off (only up to the value of £40) the cost of your first month’s tablets. Numan even automatically applies the £1 per month discount for you, so when you purchase your first 3-month of Finasteride, you will save £43 altogether, making your total to pay only £65.

At Son’s, if you choose their subscription option you will save £8 off your first order, so, if you purchase a 3-month supply at £68, the first month will only cost you £60.

If you look closely at the image above, in smaller writing it explains how the recurring deliveries will cost £68 thereafter. So, this discount will only benefit you on your first purchase.

At Manual, they offer an attractive discount, 50% off your first order. So, if you purchase a 3-month subscription, you could save a huge £42- sounds great doesn‘t it? Then, after your first order, your 3 monthly payments will go up to £84.

Finasteride should be used long-term to maximise and then maintain hair growth, so, £84 every 3 months will start to add up! We think this seems a lot considering you can get the same order from Sons at only £68 for a 3-month supply, a difference of £16.

Like Manual, Hims has used a similar pricing strategy, you can get the first 3 months of tablets at a reduced price, then the price will go back up to £84 after. Although, the introductory discount does not seem as much of a good deal, offering you 3-months for £54, compared to Manual at £42.

Are tablets cheaper from a subscription site? Well, we may be slightly biased that our pharmacy is the best and has the most competitive prices. But you can see for yourself, the image above shows the same medication as the subscription sites, for a fraction of the price.
We offer 3-months’ worth of medication, for only £34.54. This makes us cheaper than the other sites, even with their introductory offers!

It cannot get better than that. I hear you say. Well, yes it can! If you subscribe to our e-mailing list, you will receive a range of weekly discounts to use against the cost of our products. And you will get a 10% discount voucher when you spend over £50 for just signing up.

I will not forget to mention, our price match promise, if you find the exact treatment cheaper elsewhere online, 7 days before or after your purchase with us, we will match the price or refund the difference. No quibbles.
