What does Maximus's annual estimate cover?
$99.99 at-home lab + enclomiphene on the 12-month plan, first month at the advertised 50% off ($49.99) and eleven at $99.99, is $1,249.87. Without the intro discount the same year is $1,299.87. The same twelve months bought one at a time cost $99.99 + $199.99 × 12 = $2,499.87, so the commitment saves half, and cancelling inside it still leaves every remaining month owing [Verified August 2026].
What does PeterMD's annual estimate cover?
Month-to-month path, the one a new patient defaults into: $278 for the two-month upfront SKU + $11.09 checkout service fee + $95 new-patient labs, then $139/mo for months 3 through 12, which is $1,774.09 all-in (meds, supplies, shipping, consults included). Committing instead costs less: the 12-month plan is $948 prepaid, so the same year runs $948 + $95 labs + the checkout fee. Bring your own bloodwork from the last 6 months and the $95 comes off either path [Verified August 2026].
Annual examples may cover different medicines and services; they are not equivalent treatment quotes. Scores measure public information, not clinical quality or safety. See the scoring method.
Choose Maximus if
Men specifically seeking enclomiphene or oral-TRT protocols who intend to stay the full 6 or 12 months, understand that cancelling early does not stop the bill, and accept documented fulfillment risk.

The honest part
Maximus
- Earlier research reported BBB F. This is separate from the public-information score and was not reverified in the September disclosure check [Reported]
- Unfulfilled-prescription complaint basis for the F [Reported]
- Cancelling mid-term still owes every remaining month of the 6-month or 12-month commitment, per Maximus's own terms. On a provider whose BBB F is for not delivering prescriptions, that combination is the red flag, not either half [Verified August 2026]
- Plans auto-renew for a full further term at the then-current rate unless cancelled before the renewal date [Verified August 2026, terms]
- Anchor pricing: the advertised monthly is the longest tier, and one month costs $199.99 or $249.99 [Verified August 2026]
PeterMD
- BBB fulfillment/refund complaint pattern (unfulfilled orders, underfilled-vial allegation, expired-medication report) [Reported]
- Permanent '50% off' labs anchor pricing
- Advertised $79/mo floor requires $948 prepaid for 12 months; the month-to-month rate is $139 [Verified August 2026]
- Paid PR placement ('Is PeterMD Legit?' on AccessNewswire) [Reported]
