There are dozens of brands offering products and services online, but it can be difficult to filter through the endless information and verify its accuracy. We have created comparison websites to help you compare key elements and features and make an informed decision. Our goal is to save you time and effort by simplifying and clarifying the decision process while choosing a service or product that suits your needs.
Trying to differentiate between all the available options is not easy. There are brands you might already be familiar with, and that can be a good starting point, but how do you know that the brands shouting the loudest are really the best suited for your needs? There, in fact, might be huge differences between brands, including in the level of service, the terms and conditions, the specific features, and a whole host of other factors.
We have a team of expert reviewers who perform market research, conduct in-depth analyses, aggregate data, and evaluate brands and their offered services. We consider quite a few aspects when we review and rate, including our own subjective evaluation and internal methodology. The following is an explanation of the review, rating, and scoring elements.
Our Rating Methodology
Our editorial team meticulously determines the ratings for each hormone replacement therapy (HRT) service through a comprehensive and holistic approach. We aim to provide our readers with detailed and insightful evaluations to help them make informed decisions. Our methodology encompasses the following key criteria:
- Price (20%)
- Ease of use (5%)
- Features (10%)
- Service Scop and Availability (15%)
- Editor Review (40%)

The result of the evaluation based on the formula above will be presented to you based on fixed scoring number we assign, according to the following methodology:
The brand whose evolution received the highest result is assigned a score of 9.9. The brand whose evolution received the second highest result is assigned a score of 9.8. The third highest result is assigned a score of 9.7, and the following results shall be assigned scores according to the same methodology.
Price
Our goal is to help users understand the value they are getting for their money. The pricing section for hormone replacement therapy is broken down into a number of categories:
Price Transparency. We assess how transparent the service is in communicating its upfront costs. Are costs clearly stated upfront, including consultation, prescriptions, and any hidden fees? We prioritize services with transparent pricing structures, allowing users to make informed decisions.
Price For Treatment. The cost of treatment is a crucial factor. We evaluate whether the price is competitive compared to other providers and whether it reflects the quality and efficacy of the treatment.
Value for Money. We evaluate if the cost aligns with the specific treatment used, the frequency required, medical consultations, and any additional support the service offers. We highlight services that offer comprehensive care and support at a competitive price point.
Ease of Use
Ease of use is important when determining the overall user experience with a hormone replacement therapy service. Our evaluation focuses on how accessible, straightforward, and user-friendly the service is for customers. The ease of use section is broken down into the following:
Registration & Enrollment. We assess how simple and stress-free it is to sign up for the service, including the clarity of the registration process and requirements, and the ease of completing required intake forms, quizzes, or health assessments.
User Interface & Experience. The design and usability of the service’s website and mobile app, including how intuitive and easy to understand and navigate they are. We look for clear instructions, organized layouts, and helpful features.
Access to Information: Ensuring that users can easily find relevant information, such as treatment options, pricing, and support resources.
Features
When evaluating the features of hormone replacement therapy services, we consider a range of elements that contribute to the overall effectiveness of the service, additional add-ons, and convenience; the features section is broken down into the following criteria:
Treatment Options: We assess the types of hormone therapies offered, including oral tablets, transdermal patches, vaginal creams, gels, and compounded options. A wider variety of delivery methods allows for better alignment with individual needs, comfort, and risk profiles.
Cutomization & Personalization. The degree to which the service offers personalized treatment plans based on health assessments, goals & medical history.
Educational Resources. A well-informed patient is an empowered one. We consider whether the brand provides tools such as symptom trackers, menopause guides, blog content, or video explainers that help users better understand their hormone journey and make informed decisions about their care.
Monitoring & Follow-Up. We evaluate whether the platform offers ongoing access to healthcare providers, allowing for medication adjustments, regular check-ins, or symptom monitoring. Continuous care helps ensure users stay safe, feel heard, and can optimize their results over time.
Service Scope and Availability
Evaluating the quality of a brand’s service is crucial in determining the overall reliability and customer satisfaction of hormone replacement therapy services. This section focuses on the scope and availability of services provided, ensuring that users have access to comprehensive, supportive, and professional expert care. Specifically, we evaluate the number of professionals offered, their availability, and the responsiveness of customer support. This section is broken down into the following categories:
Provider Access: We assess the availability of licensed medical professionals — such as physicians, nurse practitioners, and menopause specialists — qualified to prescribe and adjust hormone treatments. More robust access often means faster consultations and better continuity of care.
Availability: Evaluating the hours of operation, including the flexibility of scheduling consultations and the accessibility of customer support.
Responsiveness: We examine the availability and responsiveness of customer support channels, including live chat, phone, or email. Prompt answers to medication questions, refill issues, or tech troubleshooting can significantly impact the overall experience.
Editor Review
In addition to the sections above, our expert review team considers a range of additional factors to ensure a comprehensive and balanced evaluation of each HRT service. These factors are carefully selected to cover additional aspects that may influence the overall user experience. Here are the additional factors we take into account when scoring evaluating:
Brand Reputation. We assess each brand’s standing in the industry based on third-party reviews, media coverage, provider credentials, and transparency. We give higher marks to services demonstrating clinical credibility, responsible marketing, and user trust.
User Ratings. User feedback and experience are important to us, so we take these into consideration when we rate products and services. We also encourage our users to comment, and share their experiences on our site. These reviews and feedbacks, including, for example, publicly posted by users over the Internet , help us understand the popularity and user’s experience and satisfaction of the service.
Popularity. Data gives us a clear picture of how our users feel about a particular brand. We can measure interest in each product or service by observing the number of our users who decided to visit a brand website, and understanding our user’s preferences. We also measure the number of conversions a brand or service receives. The conversion rate measures how many people sign up with – or purchase from – a brand after visiting their website. In our rating and scoring we take into consideration the conversion rates because we believe it is an indication of its popularity, and thus, its value.
Bonus
In addition to the factors mentioned, brands can receive extra points in our bonus section based on various factors and considerations, such as user sentiment and unique features.
