How this works
Telehealth pricing is deliberately opaque. We built this to make the true annual cost visible upfront for every provider.
Why we built this
Clinics advertise a headline monthly number, then bury the real cost — labs, startup fees, mandatory add-ons, membership fees on top of medication. The actual annual cost is routinely 30–60% higher than the advertised price. We built ClinicLayer to surface that single honest number for every provider, updated every day.
How we track prices
Our automated system re-checks every provider's pricing page every 24 hours and flags changes. We also subscribe to each clinic's email list with a dedicated inbox, and use AI to extract promo codes and price changes as they go live. When anything changes, the site reflects it within 24 hours.
How we make money
When you click through to a provider and sign up, we earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This is standard affiliate marketing. Clinics may also pay for sponsored placements — these are clearly labeled on every page where they appear. Our editorial scores are calculated independently and are not for sale.
How rankings work
Each clinic receives a composite editorial score based on true annual cost (highest weight), labs inclusion, delivery method options, state availability, and verified patient reviews. This score drives the default ranking order. Sponsored placements exist and are always labeled — they do not alter the editorial scores of any listed clinic.
Scoring methodology

| Labs inclusion | 25% |
| Delivery method options | 15% |
| Patient reviews (Trustpilot etc.) | 15% |
| State availability | 15% |
