How we make money (the honest version).

What those /go links are

When you click a "check pricing" or provider link on ED Samples, it routes through a /goredirect on our own domain. Some of those links are affiliate links: if you sign up with a provider after clicking, that provider may pay us a commission. The price you pay is identical either way — the commission comes out of the provider's marketing budget, not your pocket. That commission funds the intake-flow walkthroughs, the pricing audits, the policy comparisons, and the writing.

Verdicts come first. Money comes after.

Rankings are set on the merits — provider transparency, the credentials of the clinicians involved, what's actually included (labs, follow-up, dosing flexibility), total cost, and how the experience holds up — before anyone checks whether a provider has an affiliate program. The order doesn't change afterward. If the best provider on a list earns us nothing, it stays at the top of the list.

• A provider cannot buy a ranking, a "Best Overall" badge, or a softer review. Not for any amount.
• We don't accept sponsored verdicts or paid placements, and we don't run "advertorial" reviews.
• Comped consultations or trial access don't buy anything either — a provider we paid for and one that waived a fee are scored the same way.
• If our verdict and our wallet ever disagree, the verdict wins. That's the whole business model: being worth trusting twice.

The methodology behind every verdict is published in full at how we review.

The Provider Finder, too

Our matching tool recommends from the same editorial catalog as our reviews — providers that cleared the same transparency-first bar. Its results may include affiliate links, and the same rule applies: your answers pick the providers, not the payout.

The serious notes

• Educational only — not medical advice. We report what providers publish about their services, pricing, and policies, and describe the experience of using them — we don't diagnose, treat, prescribe, or make health claims. Nothing here is a substitute for care from a licensed clinician.
• We do not sell, ship, or prescribe medication. "Samples" means we sample — that is, review — telehealth providers. We are not a pharmacy, a clinic, or a healthcare provider, and we do not distribute medication.
• ED medications are prescription-only. Sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil, and avanafil require a consultation with a licensed provider, who alone decides what — if anything — is appropriate for you. Be wary of anyone offering them without that step. Compounded products (for example, a sublingual "DirectMax" formulation or apomorphine) are not FDA-approved, and we have not reviewed them for safety or effectiveness.
• Talk to your own healthcare provider first before making any decision about ED treatment — especially if you have heart conditions, take nitrates or other medications, or have other health concerns. Erectile dysfunction can also be a sign of an underlying health condition, so it's worth a conversation with your clinician.
• Adults only. Our content is written for adults 18+.
• Prices change often. Pricing we cite is attributed to the provider and accurate to the best of our knowledge at the time of writing — always verify current cost, what's included, and terms at the source before you commit.
