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 research into published pricing and policies, the comparisons, and the writing.

What money can and can't change

Verdicts are written from what each provider publishes: transparency, what's included (labs, follow-up, dosing flexibility), whether products are FDA-approved or compounded, and total cost. A partnership never changes those facts, the prices we report, or the safety cautions. Be aware that providers we partner with may be featured more prominently, for example in highlighted cards, the sticky button, or ahead of a provider we can't link to. Non-partners are still covered on the same facts.

• A provider cannot buy a softer review or a changed fact. Not for any amount.
• We don't accept sponsored verdicts or paid placements, and we don't run "advertorial" reviews.
• 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 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.
