We email you when a price we track changes.

No spam, no daily digest — just the clinics you're comparing, when their verified price moves.

How we score: every clinic is rated on five weighted criteria from documented evidence. Prices are checked weekly by an automated job against each clinic's live page; a price unconfirmed for 45 days is automatically relabeled “Last confirmed” instead of “Verified.” Scores are never influenced by affiliate commissions. “Visit”/“Try” links may be affiliate links that support our work. Educational information only — not medical advice.
