BlueChew and Hims both treat erectile dysfunction (ED) online by shipping their own medications, with BlueChew offering compounded chewable sildenafil and tadalafil tablets on plans starting at $20 a month (as of October 2026) and Hims shipping treatments through its platform. Between those subscription brands sits another option: a $40 visit on FutureClinic with a licensed physician who can send a generic sildenafil or tadalafil prescription to your local or mail-order pharmacy, where 30 tablets of generic sildenafil 20 mg cost $16.99 at Costco on GoodRx as of October 2026.

Both brands are strong options if you want what they sell beyond the doctor, like BlueChew's compounded chewables or Hims' own compounded ED tablets. When you simply want an expert physician without strings attached, FutureClinic gives you direct care with no subscription required, sending generic prescriptions to the pharmacy you choose if your doctor decides it's right for you.

On FutureClinic, no form is approved in bulk. A specific doctor reads your case and answers with a plan and a Human Signature: a short live video or voice note recorded for you. Thoughtful physician care takes hours rather than seconds, so responses typically arrive within a few hours, and almost always the same day or the next.

Did you want a monthly bundle, or a doctor one to one?

BlueChew suits adults 18 and older (outside North Dakota) who want chewable ED tablets on a monthly plan. It treats ED only, shipping chewables compounded by licensed US pharmacies, including its four-drug GOLD tablet (sildenafil, tadalafil, apomorphine, and oxytocin). Hims suits men who want a broader catalog shipping its own formulas, including compounded oral ED tablets with vitamins.

FutureClinic fits patients who want a physician one to one without a bundle. Because FutureClinic never sells medications and your physician earns nothing extra for any prescription or test, there is no incentive to upsell pills or labs. There is no monthly plan required to keep refills active, and your physician can send any fitting brand or generic to the pharmacy you choose, including local counters and mail-order delivery.

Who treats you also differs:

• BlueChew: Per its llms.txt (as of October 2026), a "BlueChew-affiliated, U.S. state-licensed provider" reviews each profile, and its home page says a review usually comes within 24 hours. Its medical providers disclosure for CA, MA, RI, and VT (as of October 2026) lists mostly certified nurse practitioners (about 47 CNPs and 7 MDs).
• Hims: Per its App Store page (as of October 2026), plans come from "licensed medical providers."
• FutureClinic: Every clinician you consult is a physician holding an MD, DO or MBBS degree, never a nurse practitioner or physician assistant. FutureClinic has over 300 doctors. They span more than 60 specialties, and each is state-licensed, background-checked, and verified by FutureClinic.

What does having the same doctor over time change for ED?

Getting ED care right often takes adjustments. Writing back to the same doctor in your ongoing chat, even months later, helps you build trust, test options together, and track your progress. If a starting sildenafil dose causes flushing or needs adjusting, or you want to compare sildenafil with tadalafil, your doctor already knows your history.

Beyond ED, your physician can address other concerns within their specialty. Because FutureClinic doesn't limit a doctor to the problem you came with, the internal or family medicine doctor treating your ED can order discounted labs, compare this month's cholesterol or glucose result against last year's, and treat blood pressure in the same chat. If you consult other specialists on the platform, every FutureClinic doctor you see works from one medical record.
