Methodology

Plain rules, applied to every provider the same way.

Sources

Every price comes from the provider's own public price page, linked from the provider's listing with the date checked. We never estimate a price.

Data labels

Verified read on the provider's price page. From search the provider's own wording as shown in Google results, pending a full check. Awaiting not yet verified; we still list the provider so you see the whole market.

Freshness

Every morning an automated check reopens each verified provider's price page and looks for every price we publish. If they are all still there, the provider's checked date becomes that day; if any has changed, the provider keeps its last verified date until a person re-checks it. Verified prices older than 30 days stop our site from publishing until they are rechecked, so stale prices cannot go live.

Ordering

By default: verified first, then lowest listed monthly price. You can re-sort by first consultation, first test or rating. We never move a provider up because of ownership or payment. Any paid placement will be labelled "Sponsored" and kept outside the price order.

Combined rating

Each provider's combined rating is the average of its public ratings on Google, Trustpilot and other review sites, weighted by the number of reviews on each, so a score from 1,000 reviews counts more than a score from 10. Ratings are read from Google search results through a licensed search data provider and refreshed every week; each provider page shows the breakdown by site. We do not collect, edit or remove reviews, and providers cannot pay to change a rating. When you sort by best rated, ratings are weighted by review count (a Bayesian average), so a 5.0 from a handful of reviews does not outrank a 4.9 from hundreds.

Regulation

We show CQC registration and GPhC pharmacy registration where the provider states it on the pages we checked.

No medical advice

We compare listed prices only. Whether TRT is right for you is a decision for you and a registered prescriber.
