Graded on whether a price is published, checkable, and still true at month two — how we grade · how we verify prices

Male Excel advertises TRT from $95 a month. The membership that treatment requires is another $99 every month, and the first consultation is $99 before that.

What they advertise, what you pay
$95
the as-low-as headline above the treatment cards
$95 plus $99
the medication and the membership it requires, each charged separately

The $95 is the oral tablet alone. The footnote under it says the price does not include the medical membership, which is required for treatment and costs $99 a month. A $99 consultation comes before both.

  • Advertised $95, no ongoing price published
  • Month-to-month price published
  • Coverage not verified

The verdict

All three numbers are published; only one of them is in the headline. And every medication price is written per month but billed every other month.

Pros and cons

What we like

  • Every charge the company makes is on a public page — the medication, the membership and the consultation — without starting the signup to find any of them.
  • The footnote under each treatment card says the price does not include the membership, rather than leaving that to be discovered at checkout.
  • The oral product's own page prints a three-line table with the test and consultation, the medication and the membership together, which is the clearest statement of the real cost on the site.
  • ED medications are priced with the recurring rate and the first-month rate side by side, not one instead of the other.

What could be better

  • The headline says as low as $95 a month, and no one pays $95 a month — the required membership is another $99 every month.
  • Each medication price is written per month, sold as a 60-day supply and billed every other month, and the page never reconciles those three.
  • The ED page says treatment is unavailable in five named states while the locations finder offers all fifty and Washington DC, including those five.
  • No mailing address appears anywhere except the terms page, and the privacy policy gives only an email.

What it is

A men's hormone service selling testosterone three ways — a daily injection, a topical cream, and an oral tablet that works by a different mechanism — each bundled with thyroid medication. Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance, and the company says so on the page, along with the fact that state and DEA rules may require an in-person exam.

The commercial shape is the one this whole category runs on: a medication price, a required membership, and a headline built from only the first. Hone Health prices hormones the same way, down to the plus-membership footnote.

What it actually costs at Male Excel

The oral tablet is $95, the injection $120 and the cream $132. On top of every one of them sits a $99 monthly medical membership the page says is required for treatment, and before any of it a $99 online consultation bundled with an at-home hormone test.

The headline over those cards reads prices as low as $95 a month, and $95 is the cheapest of the three medications on its own. It is a floor made out of one line item.

There is a second wrinkle in the same cards. Each price is written per month, sold as a 60-day supply, and billed every other month — three descriptions of a cadence that are not the same thing. The company's own table on the oral product's page prints all three charges together, which is the honest version. The one standard we grade against is what a month costs, and here that needs two numbers.

Who it's wrong for

How Male Excel works

  1. Pay $99 for the test and consultation

    One charge covers an at-home hormone test kit and the online medical consultation the company requires before it will treat you.

  2. Pick a delivery method

    Injection, cream or oral tablet, each bundled with thyroid medication. The page says a dose change will change the price.

  3. Then two charges, on two cycles

    The medication is billed every other month for a 60-day supply. The membership is billed monthly and is required for as long as you are treated.

Common questions

How much does Male Excel TRT cost?

The medication is $95 for the oral tablet, $120 for the injection or $132 for the cream, plus a $99 monthly medical membership that the page says is required for treatment.

Is the $95 headline the real price?

It is the oral tablet on its own. The footnote under it says the price does not include the medical membership, which is required and costs $99 every month.

How often am I actually billed?

The medication is billed every other month for a 60-day supply, even though the price is written per month. The membership is billed monthly.

Does Male Excel sell peptides?

No. The site's own peptide-therapy navigation link returns a dead page, its footer treatment list names five categories and none is a peptide, and none of the 61 URLs in its sitemap mentions one.

Which states does Male Excel serve?

Its own pages disagree. The ED page says all US states except five, named. The locations finder offers all fifty states and Washington DC, including those five. We are not resolving it.

Why we gave Male Excel a C

Read the full grading rationale

Every price is on a public page, and the footnote under each medication card says the required medical membership is extra. The headline is the problem: "as low as $95 a month" is the oral tablet alone, the membership is another $99 every month, and a $99 consultation comes first. Each medication is priced per month but billed every other month as a 60-day supply. Its ED page and its locations finder also disagree on which states it serves.

Read the evidence

How we reviewed Male Excel

We took every charge from the card or table it's printed on, and kept the membership and the consultation as separate figures rather than adding them to the medication price, because they bill on different cycles.

We read 17 of its pages, including all four collapsed pricing FAQs, and checked every page on the site for peptides; it sells none.
