Why $99/Month TRT Clinics Are Overpriced: The Real Cost Breakdown

Why $99/Month TRT Clinics Are Actually Overpriced

Online TRT clinics advertising “just $99 per month” sound like the perfect affordable solution for low testosterone. But when you run the real numbers, many men end up paying premium prices for low doses, long contracts, and treatment that may not fully optimize their levels.

Bottom line up front: Typical $99/month clinics put you on 150mg/week of testosterone and require a 12-month commitment — costing you $1,188 per year for only 40ml of testosterone cypionate (equivalent to $297 per 10ml vial). Custom, flexible TRT plans deliver higher doses when needed, no contracts, and true costs closer to $252 per vial — saving money while giving better results.

The Typical $99/Month Clinic Model

These clinics attract patients with low monthly pricing that includes medication, virtual consults, and shipping. However, most follow a standardized protocol:

  • Starting (and often maximum) dose of 150mg testosterone cypionate per week
  • 12-month minimum commitment required
  • “Included” anastrozole — marketed as a bonus, but rarely needed at this low dose

The Math Behind 150mg/Week

150mg per week using 200mg/ml testosterone cypionate = 0.75ml per week.

Over 52 weeks: 39–40ml per year (roughly four 10ml vials).At $99 × 12 months = $1,188 annual cost. That works out to approximately $297 per 10ml vial — far above realistic market pricing.

The “Free Anastrozole” Trick

Clinics highlight that anastrozole (an aromatase inhibitor) is included at no extra charge. But at only 150mg/week, the vast majority of men experience minimal estrogen conversion and do not require it.

This “perk” sounds valuable on paper but is rarely used — yet it helps justify the high bundled price.

Custom TRT: Higher Doses, Lower Cost, No Contracts

With personalized, physician-guided compounding pharmacies, you pay only for what you actually need — and doses can be adjusted based on labs and symptoms (commonly 200-250 mg/week).

Realistic example breakdown for 20ml (two 10ml vials of 200mg/ml):

  • Medication: $360 ($180 per vial)
  • Physician consult & prescription: $100
  • Shipping: $45
  • Total: $505

That’s $252.50 per 10ml vial — and enough supply for 4–6 months depending on dose.No long-term contract. No paying for unnecessary extras.
