Health Subscription Audit 2026: Cut $100-400/Month in Health Spending

Updated February 2026 • 10 min read

📊 Americans spend an average of $200-500/month on health-related subscriptions beyond insurance premiums. Most of this is markup on services available for free or at 70-90% less.

Category 1: Telehealth Subscriptions ($20-90/month)

Hims/Ro: $20-90/month — generic medications at 3-10x retail markup
Nurx: $15-50/month — birth control + consultation fees
Done/Cerebral: $80-200/month — ADHD telehealth
BetterHelp/Talkspace: $240-400/month — therapy

Savings move: Transfer prescriptions to Walmart ($4/month generics), use insurance for therapy (copay $20-50/session), get one-time GoodRx Telehealth consultations ($20-75) instead of subscriptions.

Category 2: Pharmacy/Drug Plans ($5-20/month)

GoodRx Gold: $10-20/month — free GoodRx gives 80-90% the same discounts
Amazon RxPass: $5/month — only ~80 drugs, Walmart $4 list covers more
SingleCare Premium: Free version works for most people

Savings move: Compare prices per medication across free GoodRx, Cost Plus Drugs, Costco, and Walmart. Don't be loyal to one pharmacy.

Category 3: Supplements & Vitamins ($30-200/month)

AG1/Athletic Greens: $79/month — 75 ingredients in micro-doses
Seed Probiotics: $50/month — AGA doesn't recommend for most conditions
Ritual Vitamins: $33-40/month — premium branding on basic nutrients
Care/of: $30-60/month — personalized vitamin packs

Savings move: Basic multivitamin ($5-10/month from Kirkland/Nature Made) + Vitamin D ($3/month) covers most needs. See our AG1 analysis.

Category 4: Fitness Apps ($10-50/month)

Peloton App: $13-44/month — great workouts, but YouTube has millions of free alternatives
Strava Premium: $12/month — free version tracks everything; Premium is for competitive features
MyFitnessPal Premium: $20/month — free version (or Cronometer free) does calorie tracking
Apple Fitness+: $10/month — only useful if you have Apple Watch + Apple TV

Savings move: YouTube (free), Nike Training Club (free), and a basic calorie app handle 90% of fitness needs.

Category 5: Mental Health Apps ($8-30/month)

Headspace: $13/month — meditation and mindfulness
Calm: $15/month — sleep and meditation
