Where they actually differ

  • They bill on different clocks. Care Clinics charges every 12 weeks and Fresh Day Meds charges every 3 months. That alone changes what a “month” costs, which is the whole reason this index recomputes every price.
  • One price holds and the other climbs. Care Clinics’s price is not stated; Fresh Day Meds’s is a starting-dose price that climbs. See what titration does to an advertised figure.
  • What they advertise is not what they bill. Care Clinics advertises $133 and bills $145.

How we know

Both figures were read on the seller’s own site and recomputed over a 30.4375-day calendar month from the charge and the billing period it covers. Neither is a seller’s own “/mo”. The full working for each — the charge, the period, the arithmetic and the date it was read — is on its own page: Care Clinics and Fresh Day Meds. The method is set out in how we verify.
