Disclosure up front: I'm Drew, the founder of Anabolic Insights, so this comparison is biased. I also previously worked at AlgoRx. Everything about AlgoRx below comes from its public tadalafil page, cart, FAQ and policies, and each claim links to its source or shows a screenshot. Prices were checked on November 6, 2026, and either company can change them. Where AlgoRx wins, I say so.
The short answer
AlgoRx advertises tadalafil 5 mg, 30 tablets, for $39. Put it in the cart and the estimated total is $69.00. The same bottle costs $30.00 with us, and $30.00 is the total.
That gap isn't a one-off. AlgoRx adds a $15 provider fee to every medication order, including every subscription renewal, and $15 shipping to every order under $250. No tadalafil option on AlgoRx costs $250 or more, so a tadalafil-only order always pays both. We don't charge a provider fee on medications, and shipping is free.
- At every strength and bottle size both companies sell, we cost less. That holds against AlgoRx's one-time prices and its "save 12%" subscription prices.
- A year of daily 5 mg costs $360 with us, paying month to month. On AlgoRx's monthly subscription, it's $771.84. AlgoRx's fees alone for that year come to $360.
- AlgoRx's subscription locks you in for 3 billing periods, with a $30 early-termination fee for each one you skip. We don't sell tadalafil on a subscription.
- Where AlgoRx wins: it ships tadalafil to more states, and its 10 mg, 150-tablet bottle is cheaper per tablet than anything we sell at 10 mg.

The $39 tadalafil that costs $69
Here's AlgoRx's cart with one bottle of tadalafil 5 mg, 30 tablets, bought one-time:
AlgoRx's cart: $39.00 subtotal, $15.00 provider fee, $15.00 shipping, $69.00 estimated total. The cart suggests adding $211.00 more to unlock free shipping. On a $39 bottle of tadalafil.
That's $1.00 of fees for every $1.30 of medication. The fees don't show on the product page when you pick "One-Time." They appear in the cart.
Here's the same bottle with us:
Our cart: tadalafil 5 mg, 30 tablets. Medications $30.00. Total $30.00. At checkout the provider fee and shipping are both shown as waived.
$30 against $69. AlgoRx charges 2.3 times as much for the same 30 tablets.
Every price on both sites
Most comparisons pick the one product that makes them look good. So here's every tadalafil option on both sites.
Anabolic Insights: 9 options, no fees
On our tadalafil page, click See all strengths & quantities and you get every strength and bottle size with the price per tablet. The price shown is the price you pay.
Our full tadalafil grid. Prices run from $1.80 a tablet (20 mg, 30 tablets) down to $0.93 a tablet (5 mg, 90 tablets).
| Strength | 30 tablets | 60 tablets | 90 tablets |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mg | $30 ($1.00/tab) | $58 ($0.97/tab) | $84 ($0.93/tab) |
| 10 mg | $39 ($1.30/tab) | $72 ($1.20/tab) | $99 ($1.10/tab) |
| 20 mg | $54 ($1.80/tab) | $89 ($1.48/tab) | $119 ($1.32/tab) |
AlgoRx: 11 bottles, plus $30 on every order
AlgoRx sells one-time orders and subscriptions. The subscription takes 12% off the medication. These are AlgoRx's sale prices, before its fees:
| Strength and plan | 15 count | 30 count | 90 count | 150 count |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mg, one-time | $29 | $39 | $94.49 | $129 |
| 5 mg, subscription | - | $34.32 | $83.15 | $113.52 |
| 10 mg, one-time | $34 | $44.95 | $104.95 | $129 |
| 10 mg, subscription | - | $39.56 | $92.36 | $113.52 |
| 20 mg, one-time | - | $54.95 | $119 | $195 |
| 20 mg, subscription | - | $48.36 | $104.72 | $171.60 |
Add $15 provider fee and $15 shipping to every one of them. The most expensive option, 20 mg × 150 one-time, is $195, so not even AlgoRx's biggest tadalafil bottle gets free shipping.
Head to head, with fees included
Both companies sell 30- and 90-tablet bottles at every strength. Here's what you actually pay:
| Tadalafil | Anabolic Insights | AlgoRx one-time, all-in | AlgoRx subscription, all-in |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mg × 30 | $30 ($1.00) | $69.00 ($2.30) | $64.32 ($2.14) |
| 5 mg × 90 | $84 ($0.93) | $124.49 ($1.38) | $113.15 ($1.26) |
| 10 mg × 30 | $39 ($1.30) | $74.95 ($2.50) | $69.56 ($2.32) |
| 10 mg × 90 | $99 ($1.10) | $134.95 ($1.50) | $122.36 ($1.36) |
| 20 mg × 30 | $54 ($1.80) | $84.95 ($2.83) | $78.36 ($2.61) |
| 20 mg × 90 | $119 ($1.32) | $149.00 ($1.66) | $134.72 ($1.50) |
Price per tablet in parentheses. "All-in" means AlgoRx's price plus its $15 provider fee and $15 shipping, before tax.
Twelve matchups, twelve wins. We're $30 to $40.49 cheaper than AlgoRx's one-time price on every bottle, and $15.72 to $34.32 cheaper than its subscription price. The subscription is supposed to be the deal, and it still loses to our regular price at every size.
The subscription "deal"
AlgoRx's subscription page is where the math gets creative. Here's the default view for tadalafil 5 mg, 30 tablets:
AlgoRx's default subscription: 30 tablets every 60 days, labeled "$17.16/MO." Directly above that label: $15.00 provider review and $15.00 shipping.
Three things in that screenshot:
- "$17.16/MO" leaves out the fees. Each shipment is $34.32 plus $30 in fees, or $64.32. Every 60 days, that's $32.16 a month.
- "$17.16/MO" assumes 30 tablets last 60 days. That's one tablet every other day. Tadalafil 5 mg is usually prescribed once a day. If that's your prescription, you need the "Every 30 days" plan, which is $64.32 a month. We charge $30 for the same 30 tablets.
- You're locked in for 3 billing periods. Cancel early and AlgoRx charges $30 for each period you skip. On the monthly 5 mg plan, the minimum you can spend is $192.96.
The 12% discount only applies to the medication. AlgoRx's own FAQ says so:
From the AlgoRx FAQ: "The discount applies to the medication cost only, not the $15 provider fee or shipping." And yes, the $15 provider fee applies to "each subscription renewal."
On the 5 mg, 30-tablet subscription, the 12% discount saves you $4.68 per shipment. The fees cost $30 per shipment.
A year of daily tadalafil
Say your provider prescribes 5 mg once a day. Here's a year:
| Plan | Cost for a year |
|---|---|
| Anabolic Insights, 90 tablets × 4 | $336 |
| Anabolic Insights, 30 tablets × 12 | $360 |
| AlgoRx subscription, 90 count every 90 days × 4 | $452.60 |
| AlgoRx subscription, 30 count every 30 days × 12 | $771.84 |
| AlgoRx one-time, 30 count × 12 | $828.00 |
On AlgoRx's monthly subscription, you pay $180 a year in provider fees and $180 in shipping. That $360 in fees is the same as a full year of tadalafil with us, paid month to month.
The $29 bottle
AlgoRx's lowest tadalafil price is $29, for 15 tablets of 5 mg, one-time only.
AlgoRx's cheapest tadalafil option. The product page shows $29.00. The cart adds $30.
With the $30 in fees, that's $59 for 15 tablets, or $3.93 a tablet. Our 5 mg is $1.00 a tablet for 30, and $0.93 for 90.
If you change your mind
Both companies require a licensed provider to review your intake before anything is prescribed. AlgoRx's refund policy spells out what happens if you cancel after that review:
AlgoRx's refund policy: the $15 provider fee is kept once a provider approves your order, and any approved refund is subject to a 25% processing fee.
To be fair to AlgoRx: canceling before a provider approves the order is free and fully refunded. And once any pharmacy dispenses and ships a medication, it can't be returned. That's a pharmacy rule, not an AlgoRx one.
What Reddit says about AlgoRx's tadalafil
The fees are the problem, not the product. In r/GregDoucette, someone asked whether AlgoRx's tadalafil was legitimate, then came back to report that "the tadalafil is legit."
r/GregDoucette: "Algo rx". Usernames are blurred.
AlgoRx is LegitScript certified and works with licensed U.S. pharmacies. Tadalafil is a generic: you're not paying AlgoRx for a better tablet, you're paying it $30 an order to ship you the same one.
Where AlgoRx is the better choice
- You live in a state we don't cover yet. We prescribe tadalafil in 38 states and DC. AlgoRx lists no state exclusions for tadalafil. If you're in Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Hawaii, Kansas, Louisiana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina or Vermont, AlgoRx can serve you and we can't, yet.
- You want 10 mg in bulk. AlgoRx's 10 mg, 150-tablet bottle is $159 one-time ($1.06 a tablet) or $143.52 on subscription ($0.96 a tablet), fees included. Our best 10 mg price is $1.10 a tablet, for 90. That's the one matchup where AlgoRx is cheaper per tablet. You do pay more upfront, and the subscription commits you to 3 bottles: 450 tablets and $430.56.
- You want a 15-tablet bottle. We start at 30 tablets. AlgoRx sells 15, at $3.93 a tablet with fees.
- You're also ordering $250+ of other medications from AlgoRx. Shipping is free at $250, though the $15 provider fee still applies.
Where Anabolic Insights is the better choice
- You want to pay the price you see. $30 for 30 tablets of 5 mg means $30 at checkout. No provider fee, free shipping.
- You take tadalafil daily. A year of 5 mg costs $336 to $360 with us, compared with $452.60 to $828 on AlgoRx.
- You don't want a subscription. No minimum commitment and no early-termination fees. Buy what your provider prescribes, when you need it.
- You want more than tadalafil. We also offer blood work with no lab fee, a $99/month testosterone membership (AlgoRx's FAQ says it doesn't offer testosterone), and a dashboard that charts your labs, protocols and wearables. The full Anabolic Insights vs AlgoRx comparison covers all of it.
FAQs
How much does tadalafil cost at AlgoRx with fees?
AlgoRx's tadalafil 5 mg, 30 tablets, is $39 one-time. AlgoRx adds a $15 provider fee and $15 shipping, so the cart total is $69.00 before tax. On subscription, it's $34.32 plus the same $30 in fees, or $64.32 per shipment. Prices were checked November 6, 2026.
How much does tadalafil cost at Anabolic Insights?
Tadalafil 5 mg is $30 for 30 tablets, $58 for 60 and $84 for 90. 10 mg is $39, $72 and $99. 20 mg is $54, $89 and $119. There's no provider fee and shipping is free, so the listed price is the total before tax. A licensed provider decides whether tadalafil is appropriate and which strength and quantity to prescribe.
Is Anabolic Insights cheaper than AlgoRx for tadalafil?
Yes, at every strength and bottle size both companies sell (30 and 90 tablets at 5, 10 and 20 mg), including against AlgoRx's subscription prices. The one exception is AlgoRx's 10 mg, 150-tablet bottle, which is cheaper per tablet than our 10 mg options. We don't sell a 150-tablet bottle.
Does AlgoRx charge a provider fee on every tadalafil order?
Yes. AlgoRx's FAQ says a $15 provider fee "applies to every medication order, including each subscription renewal." Once a provider approves your order, that fee is non-refundable.
Does AlgoRx charge for shipping on tadalafil?
Yes, on orders under $250, shipping is $15. AlgoRx's most expensive tadalafil option is $195, so an order with only tadalafil always pays shipping. Anabolic Insights ships medications free.
Is AlgoRx's tadalafil subscription worth it?
The subscription takes 12% off the medication, but not off the $15 provider fee or $15 shipping. It requires a 3-billing-period minimum, with a $30 early-termination fee for each remaining period. On 5 mg, 30 tablets, it saves $4.68 per shipment and costs $64.32 per shipment. Our price for the same bottle is $30 with no subscription.
What does "$17.16/MO" mean on AlgoRx's tadalafil page?
It's shown on AlgoRx's default subscription for 5 mg, 30 tablets, which ships every 60 days. $34.32 divided by two months is $17.16. That figure leaves out the $30 in fees on each shipment, and it assumes 30 tablets last 60 days. If you're prescribed one tablet a day, you'd need the every-30-days plan, at $64.32 a month all-in.
Does Anabolic Insights ship tadalafil to every state?
Not yet. We currently offer tadalafil in 38 states and DC. AlgoRx lists no state exclusions for tadalafil, so it covers some states we don't, including Alaska, Hawaii, Oregon and South Carolina. Check the map on our tadalafil page for your state.
Should I take tadalafil daily or as needed?
That's your provider's call, based on your history and goals. Daily 5 mg and as-needed 20 mg are both common. Our guide to daily vs as-needed tadalafil covers the tradeoffs, and tadalafil vs sildenafil compares it with Viagra.
