Male Excel vs TRT Kingdom: Costs, Labs, and Who Should Pick Which
Male Excel vs TRT Kingdom: TRT Kingdom has the lower published injection-plan rate, from $79 a month for 12 months. Male Excel is the clearer fit for cream, with a separate $99 monthly membership. Get the payment and lab terms in writing: neither has a verified all-in first-year total.
What that extra money buys — and the one question that can flip this whole comparison — is below.
Here's the short version:
- Compare TRT Kingdom first if the lowest published injection-plan rate matters most and you're considering a longer plan. Confirm the full bill, payment dates, and exit terms before committing.
- Compare Male Excel first if you want a cream instead of shots, its advertised daily injection approach, a provider you can message, or its $99 monthly membership option. Medication is bought in 60-day supplies; confirm the cancellation cutoff.
- Pick neither yet if you want kids soon, haven't had low testosterone properly evaluated, or have a serious health history. Start with primary care, a urologist, or an endocrinologist; near-term fertility plans belong with a reproductive urologist.
TRT Provider Guide is the independent decision resource for testosterone replacement therapy — helping U.S. adults understand how low testosterone is evaluated, compare online and local care models and providers, and choose the next step that fits their health needs, fertility plans, budget, state, and care preferences, with every material claim verified and dated.
This comparison covers U.S. adult men seeking care for testosterone deficiency.
Male Excel vs TRT Kingdom at a glance
TRT Kingdom lists the lower injection-plan rate; Male Excel lists a testosterone cream and a separate membership. The decision turns on the full written price, the treatment your clinician recommends, and what you owe if you leave.
Checked October 27, 2026, against each company's own pages. The service details below are provider-stated; they are not a test of either company's care.
Best for / not for you if
Male Excel is best for men comparing a needle-free testosterone cream or its daily injection approach, advertised ongoing access to a provider, and the $99 monthly membership option. Skip Male Excel if you live in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, or Rhode Island — the states it lists as unavailable — or if its $176.50 in displayed monthly injection components, plus the entry package and shipping, is more than you want to spend.
TRT Kingdom is best for budget-first men comparing injections who can confirm that a longer plan's total price and exit terms fit their needs. Skip TRT Kingdom if it cannot confirm service in your state or give you acceptable payment and exit terms. If you want a cream or gel, ask first: we found no men's testosterone cream or gel listing.
It depends on you — here's how to sort it out
The right TRT provider is not the same for every person — it depends on whether low testosterone has been properly evaluated, your symptoms and health history, your fertility plans, your state, your insurance or cash-pay preference, your treatment-format preference, your budget, and whether online or in-person care is the better starting point. Some situations belong with primary care, urology, endocrinology, reproductive urology, or urgent or emergency care when the symptoms warrant it. Because a general answer cannot resolve those for you, settle medical care questions with a clinician first; use TRT Provider Guide's Find My TRT Path tool to review an online-program suggestion and questions to ask before you pay.
The tool is educational. It does not diagnose low testosterone, decide medical eligibility, or choose a specialist for you.
How much does Male Excel cost vs TRT Kingdom?
TRT Kingdom's 12-month rate adds up to $948 before any separate charges; its pages disagree about labs. Male Excel's published injection components add up to $176.50 a month, with a $99 entry package and shipping extra, while cream plus monthly membership adds up to $189. Neither calculation is a complete first-year quote.
Neither company gives a complete personalized first-year bill on the pages we checked. So we built a model from their own published prices and marked what it leaves out.
Our published-rate cost ledger
Our calculation from each company's published prices, checked October 27, 2026. Published starting prices only. Not a quote or a verified first-year cash total.
The table keeps the math visible. Male Excel rows use six 60-day medication supplies — 360 days, not 365 — plus 12 membership and supply-price equivalents. Kingdom rows use 12 monthly rate equivalents; the lab examples assume either no separate lab charge or exactly two $149 panels. Neither lab example is a verified limit.
Male Excel's shipping, any extra tests or services, prescription changes, actual payment dates, and the annual membership's payment and exit terms remain outside these subtotals. Kingdom's shorter-plan rows assume the same rate continues; renewal prices and billing terms are not confirmed.
The gap in these models: Male Excel injections come out $971 to $1,269 higher than the two Kingdom 12-month examples. Extending the same rates and lab assumptions across two modeled years gives $1,843 to $2,439, with only one Male Excel entry fee. These are differences between models, not verified savings or guaranteed renewal prices.
A 2.5-month plan needs its own calendar. If Kingdom sells whole prepaid blocks at the listed rate, five blocks would cover 12.5 months and total $1,237.50 before extra charges. That is another billing example, not confirmation that Kingdom collects payment that way.

Why "$62.50" and "$79" aren't the same kind of number
This is where most people get tripped up.
Male Excel's $62.50 a month is medication only. It's billed as $125 every 60 days. On top of that, you pay a required $99 monthly membership (or $79 a month on an annual membership), $15 a month for syringes, a $99 start fee, and shipping. Your price may also change if your dose changes.
TRT Kingdom's $79 a month is the 12-month rate. Kingdom says that price includes testosterone cypionate, supplies, shipping, a provider consult, and monitoring, with no membership fee. Shorter plans cost more: $89 a month for 6 months and $99 a month for 2.5 months.
The lab question. Kingdom's TRT page says labs are "included in your Kingdom plan." But its FAQ says lab testing "is required every 6 months and is $149" for some treatments, and its switch-providers page lists "one $149 panel." The model above shows two examples, not a verified cost range. Ask Kingdom which charges apply to you — in writing — and how many starting, repeat, and follow-up panels you need.
One more Male Excel wrinkle. Male Excel's general pricing page shows a different package: testosterone plus a daily thyroid tablet, starting at $120 a month for injections and $132 for cream. Using 12 monthly bundle-price equivalents, 12 $99 membership payments, and the $99 entry package gives $2,727 for the injection bundle or $2,871 for cream, before shipping and other charges. Those are modeled subtotals, too. Its product pages price testosterone alone. Ask which package you're being quoted. If thyroid medication is added, ask why it's needed for you.
The 60-day billing trap. If a medication charge lands every 60 days starting on day one, seven charges fall inside your first 365 days — not six. The seventh just pays for supply that runs past the year. It is still another payment inside that first-year cash window.
Count the first medication charge as day 0: the charges fall on days 0, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, and 360. Seven fills cost $875 for injections or $1,260 for cream at the published starting prices. Add the $99 entry package, 12 monthly $99 membership payments, and 12 $15 syringe-price equivalents for injections, and the examples become $2,342 for injections or $2,547 for cream, before shipping and other charges.
That still is not your complete first-year bill: starting the clock when you buy the test rather than when medication is first billed can change the fill count. Use actual charge dates in your written quote.
Why the headline can mislead your budget: The medication-only price does not include the separate membership, syringes, entry package, and shipping. That is why your quote needs every charge and its date, not just a monthly headline.
Can you use HSA or FSA money? Both companies say yes. Check with your plan administrator about what paperwork they need.
Does either take insurance? No. Both are cash-pay. Male Excel's terms say you agree not to submit claims to insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid for its services. If your insurance covers TRT, a local doctor and a regular pharmacy may cost less than both. Compare online and local TRT care.

What do you lose if it doesn't work out?
Both companies publish final-sale policies, so the real risk is how much you've paid and what you still owe when you decide to stop. Male Excel's monthly membership and 60-day medication billing are published; Kingdom's payment timing is not settled by its plan page. Ask for the charge dates and exit terms to learn how much is at risk.
The monthly rate doesn't answer this question. It's also the one that can flip the whole comparison.
Money at risk early on: billing scenarios
Our calculation from published prices and refund terms, checked October 27, 2026. These examples are not confirmed payment schedules, maximum losses, or complete bills.
A real day-60 total depends on when treatment starts, calendar-month membership charges, and whether another refill has already processed. Ask for the cancellation deadline and any balance still due, not just whether you can stop future deliveries.
Here's the catch. Kingdom's public plan terms don't settle how the 12-month plan is billed. A review displayed on Kingdom's site under Robert Lillquist's name, dated March 2026, describes paying for a full year upfront. That is one customer report, not verified current billing policy. If your written quote requires annual prepayment, more money is committed at the start than under monthly payments.
So the honest answer is:
- Your clinician recommends TRT and you're happy with injections? Kingdom's 12-month rate is worth comparing once you have the full bill and exit terms.
- Not sure yet how you'll respond? Male Excel's $99 monthly membership avoids buying an annual membership, but medication is still purchased in 60-day supplies and paid charges generally stay paid.
Male Excel does NOT have the lowest published rate — here's why that can still be the smarter start
Male Excel does not compete on price. If the lowest year-one cost is your top priority, compare Kingdom's written total against Male Excel's full quote. Male Excel offers a $99 monthly membership as well as its lower annual-plan rate, so you can choose the monthly option while your clinician reviews how treatment is going. You also get a cream option and advertised ongoing provider access; Kingdom also lists ongoing clinical oversight.
The reason to pay more has to be a feature you want and a care plan that fits — not an assumption that the pricier program provides better medicine. Get the medication-renewal cutoff and annual membership terms before you choose.

How Male Excel's 90-day guarantee really works
Male Excel advertises "see results in 90 days, or your membership fees refunded." Read the fine print:
- It covers membership fees for the first 90 days only — up to about $297 at $99 a month. Not medication, not the start fee, not shipping.
- You must follow the protocol for 90 straight days and keep scheduled appointments. Male Excel may ask for proof.
- You must ask within 30 days after the 90-day period ends.
- "Improvement" is measured by Male Excel's own assessment.
- Male Excel says it can change or end the guarantee anytime, but not for people already enrolled.
Male Excel evaluates requests using your documented participation and provider feedback and may ask for more information. Read the guarantee terms.
It's a real partial safety net. It's not a full-treatment money-back guarantee.
TRT Kingdom's refund policy in plain English
- All sales are final. Prescription products can't be returned.
- Payments for telehealth consultations are non-refundable.
- If a controlled-substance package needs a signature, Kingdom's policy says the carrier will attempt redelivery twice before returning it to the pharmacy. Kingdom says it can't be resent and isn't refunded. Turn on carrier delivery alerts.
- Damaged or incomplete orders must be reported within 48 hours of receipt, with photos.
Sources: Kingdom refund policy and shipping policy.
Canceling future charges is a separate question. Male Excel's FAQ describes a renewal notice with a 48-hour window to request changes. Its current offer pages advertise cancellation at any time, but confirm the deadline for your next medication and membership charges. We did not find a settled cancellation process or prorated long-plan refund rule for Kingdom. Get those answers before paying.

Which runs better lab work — Male Excel or TRT Kingdom?
TRT Kingdom starts with a blood draw at a local Labcorp. Male Excel starts with an at-home finger-prick kit that lists testosterone, estradiol, DHEA-S, free T3, and PSA; hematocrit is not listed in that starter panel. These published collection methods alone do not establish which company provides better lab care.
Male Excel says its membership includes blood testing every six months. Either way, a proper diagnosis needs repeat morning testing.
What a real diagnosis needs
One low number doesn't mean you have low testosterone. The Endocrine Society says doctors should diagnose it only when a man has symptoms or signs and consistently low total testosterone, confirmed by repeating a morning fasting test. Free testosterone may also be needed in some cases, and the clinician should look for the cause. See the guideline and its July 2026 testing statement.
Kingdom's TRT page describes one Labcorp result below 300 ng/dL as confirming the cause of symptoms. That goes further than the guidance: one cutoff is not a diagnosis. Ask how its clinician will confirm a low result and assess other causes of your symptoms.
A few terms you'll see:
- Total testosterone: all the testosterone in your blood.
- Hematocrit: the share of your blood made of red blood cells. Testosterone can raise it. Too high can raise clot risk. Testosterone prescribing information.
- PSA (prostate-specific antigen): a protein measured in a blood test that helps assess prostate health; the result alone does not diagnose cancer. National Cancer Institute explanation.
- Estradiol: a form of estrogen men make from testosterone.
The Endocrine Society lists an elevated hematocrit as a reason not to start testosterone. That's why it's worth checking before treatment begins.
Testosterone products can also raise blood pressure. Ask how your clinician will check it before and during treatment. FDA blood-pressure warning.
How each company tests
Checked October 27, 2026.
The at-home kit is easy. No lab visit, no driving — a real plus if you live far from a lab. The trade-off is that hematocrit is not listed in its published starter panel. Male Excel's description of its monitoring process says six-month testing includes hematocrit; that does not settle how a baseline blood count or an earlier repeat test is arranged or charged. Kingdom's Labcorp draw is a standard venous blood test, but we did not identify its complete first panel in the pages reviewed.
We could not confirm for either program whether a second early-morning diagnostic test, any needed earlier monitoring, and extra tests after a treatment change are included in the advertised price. The Male Excel test page, program page, and Kingdom FAQ are the sources for the comparison above.
Five lab questions to ask either company
- Will you confirm my low result with a second early-morning test before prescribing?
- Will you check hematocrit (or a full blood count) before I start?
- How often are follow-up labs, and are they included in my price?
- If my levels need adjusting, do extra tests cost more?
- Can I get copies of all my results?
Want a person to answer the lab questions first? See Male Excel's testing details and free-call option before you pay for anything. Ask whether the call is with a clinician or a support representative.
Cream or shots? What can you actually get?
Male Excel offers testosterone as a twice-daily cream or small daily injections under the skin. TRT Kingdom offers testosterone cypionate injections; Kingdom says most men inject once or twice a week. We found no testosterone cream or gel for men on Kingdom's site.
What each one offers men
These are the providers' published descriptions, not dosing instructions. Your clinician sets the treatment and schedule.
If you hate needles, this section may decide it for you. Male Excel is the only one of the two with a men's testosterone cream listed in the pages we reviewed. If cream is what you want, that is the published option to compare first; ask Kingdom before assuming it can provide one.
Cream comes with one rule you can't skip. Testosterone on your skin can rub off onto partners and children. Male Excel's own safety information warns about this and says to cover the area and wash your hands after applying. Kids exposed to topical testosterone have shown signs of early puberty. Approved testosterone-gel labeling documents this risk; it does not establish approval or equivalence of Male Excel's compounded cream. Ask your clinician and pharmacist for the precautions for your exact product.
Daily injections sound like a lot. They use small insulin-type needles under the skin. Male Excel says it prefers daily dosing over weekly shots. That's Male Excel's approach, not proof that daily is better for everyone. Ask your provider what fits you.
Compounded vs FDA-approved: what you're actually getting
- FDA-approved means the FDA reviewed a specific product for safety and effectiveness before it was sold.
- Compounded means a pharmacy mixes the medication for individual patients. The FDA says compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and aren't reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality before sale. FDA explanation.
Male Excel says its testosterone injection and cream are compounded and not FDA-approved. Kingdom says its TRT medication comes from "an FDA-registered US compounding pharmacy" and that compounded medications are not FDA-approved. A pharmacy being FDA-registered is not the same as the drug being FDA-approved.
Male Excel's FAQ names Anazao Health Corp. in Tampa, Florida, and WellDyneRx-Fl in Lakeland, Florida. We did not confirm which pharmacy would fill a particular patient's prescription or its exact preparation. We did not identify the dispensing pharmacy in the reviewed Kingdom pages. Ask for the pharmacy name, the medication's ingredients and strength, and whether it can dispense in your state.
Can you pick your pharmacy? Not at Male Excel. Its terms say it won't send your prescription to a different pharmacy. We found no published option to choose your pharmacy at Kingdom. If you need an FDA-approved product or want to use your own pharmacy or insurance, a local clinician is the better route. Compare online and local TRT care.
What about the pills and add-ons?
Clomiphene, enclomiphene, and hCG are not testosterone replacement. They work by nudging your own body's hormone signals, and they're used differently.
- Clomiphene: FDA-approved for ovulation problems in women; use for low testosterone or infertility in men is off-label, meaning outside its approved use.
- Enclomiphene: not FDA-approved. It is not interchangeable with clomiphene simply because the names are similar.
- hCG: FDA-approved products such as Pregnyl have specific uses, including certain cases of low testosterone caused by deficient hormone signals. That is not a blanket approval for preserving fertility during TRT. Kingdom's commercial-vial listing does not identify the brand or product code.
Sources: Clomid prescribing information, U.S. government explanation of enclomiphene, and Pregnyl prescribing information.
Ask exactly what is in Triclozene. Male Excel's dedicated product page says enclomiphene; its general pricing page and FAQ say clomiphene. Get the full ingredient list and the reason for any thyroid ingredient before agreeing to that prescription.
Kingdom also lists nandrolone and an "oral testosterone derivative." Kingdom's own page says that oral product isn't TRT. Ask a clinician why any of these would be prescribed for you. The oral listing does not name its active ingredient, and we could not establish the exact dispensed product or approval status for it or the nandrolone offer.
Prefer a cream over injections? See Male Excel's cream details and current price.
Who's actually behind Male Excel and TRT Kingdom?
According to their terms, both use a common telehealth setup: a company runs the website and billing, and a separate physician-owned medical group provides care. Male Excel's care comes from Male Excel Medical P.A. and related state groups. TRT Kingdom's care comes from REM Health Medical Group, P.A.
Kingdom was co-founded by four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler.
The company and staffing descriptions below come from the providers' terms, team pages, and biographies.
Patient counts are each company's own claims. We couldn't verify them. Minimum service ages do not guarantee treatment.
We also checked two official license records. Virginia lists Peter Fotinos as current and active in a record printed October 27, 2026; Florida lists Daniel Olivero as clear and active as of October 27, 2026. These checks do not establish who will treat you or that every clinician can practice in your state. Sources: Virginia record and Florida record.
How do you reach the person treating you? Male Excel advertises provider access and 60-day check-ins. Kingdom advertises clinical oversight and a dedicated account executive. An account executive is not the same as the prescribing clinician; ask both who answers medical questions between visits, how to reach them, and whether extra visits cost more. We did not test response times. Male Excel program; Kingdom program.
What does a celebrity founder tell you? That a brand has reach. It doesn't tell you about medical quality. Judge both programs by who treats you, how they test, and what you're committing to.
On TRT Kingdom's own website, one review focused on price:

Is Male Excel or TRT Kingdom available in my state?
Male Excel lists Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island as unavailable. We found no full TRT Kingdom state list in the pages reviewed; confirm service for your state and treatment before paying. Current federal flexibilities can allow prescribing without a prior in-person visit through December 31, 2026, subject to their conditions and state law.
What changes after December 31, 2026?
Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance. That means federal law requires a valid prescription, and online prescribing has extra rules. DEA scheduling.
Since 2020, the DEA and HHS have let clinicians prescribe controlled medications by telehealth without seeing you in person first when the required conditions are met. That permission has been extended four times. The current extension ends December 31, 2026. The DEA sent a final telehealth rule for White House review in August 2026, but it hadn't been published when we checked. Current DEA extension; pending rule review.
What this means for you:
- Today, an authorized, DEA-registered clinician can prescribe testosterone without a prior in-person visit through a qualifying audio-video visit if the prescription meets federal conditions and your state's rules.
- After December 31, that could change. Some patients may need an in-person evaluation.
- Male Excel already says your plan "may require an in-person medical exam" under DEA and state law. Kingdom's telehealth consent says some patients may need in-person care.
Ask either company before you pay: "If federal rules change on January 1, what happens to my next refill?"
Also ask who your assigned clinician will be and whether the clinician and dispensing pharmacy can serve the state where you will be during care. A website's state list is not a substitute for that check. Male Excel state FAQ; Kingdom FAQ; HHS prescribing rules.
Should you see a specialist instead of either one?
Specialist input is the better first step if you're trying to have a baby now or soon, or have a history of prostate or breast cancer, blood clots, a high red blood cell count, untreated severe sleep apnea, or a recent heart attack or stroke. If low testosterone has not been properly evaluated, primary care can be the starting point. Testosterone therapy can lower sperm production. Endocrine Society guideline.
If you want kids soon
Taking testosterone can suppress the hormone signals that support testosterone and sperm production in the testes. That can lower spermatogenesis — your body's sperm production. The Endocrine Society recommends against testosterone therapy for men planning to have children in the near term. The AUA/ASRM male-infertility guideline also advises against testosterone alone for men interested in current or future fertility.
Both companies list non-testosterone options that may come up in care for men with low testosterone and fertility concerns — Kingdom's hCG and enclomiphene, and Male Excel's Triclozene, whose published ingredient descriptions conflict. None of them guarantees your fertility. If a baby is in your near future, talk to a reproductive urologist before starting any testosterone program. Learn more in our TRT and fertility guide.
If your levels haven't been confirmed
If you've only had one test, or none, start with primary care or a urologist. One low number, a quiz, or an online symptom checker can't diagnose low testosterone.
Not sure whether you're a program candidate or a specialist candidate? Ask your primary-care clinician which evaluation fits your history. Find My TRT Path does not make that medical decision.
TRT Kingdom vs Male Excel for men already on TRT: can you switch?
Your current prescription does not automatically transfer into a new program. The new clinician has to review your history and labs and decide. TRT Kingdom runs a dedicated transfer process that may accept recent labs.
Ask your current and receiving clinicians to agree on a continuity plan; do not use this comparison to change or extend a prescription on your own.
If you're a current Male Excel patient looking at your bill, this section is for you. Here's what switching to Kingdom looks like.
What switching could save
These are the same published-rate models, with the Male Excel entry fee removed. They assume unchanged prices, six 60-day Male Excel supplies, 12 membership/syringe-price equivalents, and either no separate Kingdom lab charges or two $149 panels. They are not confirmed year-two cash bills or your savings.
The published offers differ: Male Excel lists cream and daily dosing; Kingdom lists cypionate injections and Labcorp blood draws. Ask Kingdom whether your treatment format and schedule can continue, and confirm the payment terms and total before switching.
How Kingdom's transfer works (as Kingdom describes it)
- You share recent labs, your current prescription or pharmacy label, your dose and schedule, and your next refill date.
- A transfer coordinator checks what's missing.
- A licensed provider decides whether Kingdom can take over your care. Your old labs may or may not be accepted.
- Kingdom says it can't guarantee there won't be a gap in treatment.
Your switcher checklist
- Request your records and your last two lab reports from your current provider.
- Note your next refill date. Start the switch well before it.
- Get your new program's full charges in writing before paying.
- Don't stop, start, or change your medication on your own. Agree on the transition with your current and receiving clinicians.
- Remember: your prescribed schedule may change (daily vs. weekly). That's your new clinician's call.
Thinking of switching to save money? See TRT Kingdom's transfer process. Staying with Male Excel for the cream or provider access? Those are reasons to compare what each written quote includes, not just its headline price.
Getting your records: Male Excel's consent allows requests for records and may include preparation or delivery costs. Kingdom's consent describes starting a transfer request through support with your consent and the receiving clinician's details. Ask for the secure process and turnaround time; we did not verify a delivery guarantee. Male Excel consent; Kingdom consent.
Male Excel vs TRT Kingdom: full comparison
This table compares both companies on the same factors, each checked against their own pages on October 27, 2026. Anything marked "Ask" was not settled by the pages we checked, so get it in writing before you pay.
What we actually verified
We checked public provider documents against the prices, policies, and care descriptions used here, and used medical and government sources for clinical and legal claims. We did not verify a complete checkout bill or test either provider's treatment or support.
Verification date: October 27, 2026.
Sources we checked: Male Excel's pricing page, injection page, cream page, TRT program page, at-home test page, FAQ, Terms and Conditions (updated July 2026), refund policy, and Excel Advantage Guarantee terms. TRT Kingdom's testosterone cypionate page, TRT program page, FAQ, refund policy, shipping policy, terms of service, telehealth consent, About page, team page, switch-providers page, and hCG page. The FDA's compounding guidance, the DEA and HHS telemedicine extension, and the Endocrine Society's testosterone therapy guideline. We also checked the oral-product descriptions, provider biographies and monitoring descriptions, prescribing information, fertility guidance, the July 2026 Endocrine Society statement, and the two official license records described above.
Confirmed as published on each company's own pages: advertised prices, listed plan lengths, membership and guarantee terms, refund language, lab vendors and collection methods, the start-kit biomarkers, Male Excel's state exclusions, Male Excel's pharmacy restriction, compounded-medication disclosures, medical-group names, and minimum ages. This confirms what the providers publish, not every patient's charges or experience.
Company-stated, not independently confirmed: patient counts, track-record claims, Kingdom's transfer-process promises, and both companies' descriptions of provider access.
Customer-experience signals: the dated Kingdom-hosted pricing and prepayment reports. We checked the displayed wording and attribution, not the underlying purchases or whether either reviewer received an incentive.
Our calculations: the published-rate, two-year, early-payment, and 60-day billing examples. They use stated assumptions and advertised starting prices; they are not confirmed cash totals, savings, or maximum losses.
What we couldn't confirm: whether TRT Kingdom's 12-month plan is charged upfront or monthly; whether Kingdom's $149 lab panels apply to its testosterone plans; Kingdom's state list and cancellation process; Male Excel's shipping cost and the full terms of its annual membership; which pharmacy would fill a given patient's prescription. We also could not settle the exact repeat-test and extra-visit charges, each patient's renewal cutoff, or the conflicting Triclozene ingredient descriptions.
How this was produced: desk research against each company's documents. We didn't receive treatment, buy a plan, or contact either company's support. This is a comparison, not a hands-on review. Our method is How We Review TRT Providers.

What should you ask before you pay?
Ask for the exact medication proposed, every charge with its date, the tests included, and the exit terms — in writing. A quote isn't complete until you know your next payment, what's non-refundable, who your clinician is, and which pharmacy fills it.
The bill
- What will I pay today, and on each renewal — medication, membership, supplies, labs, visits, and shipping?
- Is the 12-month plan (or annual membership) charged upfront or monthly?
The care
- Will you confirm my result with a second morning test, and check hematocrit, before prescribing?
- Is my testosterone compounded or FDA-approved, and which pharmacy fills it?
- Who's my clinician, and how do I reach them between visits?
The exit
- How do I stop future charges, what can't be refunded, and how do I get my records if I leave?
Got good answers and want the cream or monthly membership? See Male Excel's current pricing — and ask for your month-one and month-two totals as separate lines. That pricing page shows thyroid bundles; compare it with the testosterone-only product prices above.
Not sold on either? Better fits for specific readers
The right next step depends on why neither fits. Insurance, an FDA-approved product, near-term fertility, or a need for the lowest possible price each point somewhere different.
- You have insurance that covers TRT, or want an FDA-approved product from your own pharmacy: start with a local doctor. Compare online and local TRT care.
- You want to compare more prices, or Kingdom's terms don't work for you: see our TRT Kingdom alternatives and our TRT cost guide.
- You want kids soon: see a reproductive urologist first. TRT and fertility.

The main price difference is the published plan rate versus Male Excel's separate membership and medication charges. The questions below separate those prices from the lab, payment, and clinical decisions that still need a written answer.
Is TRT Kingdom cheaper than Male Excel?
Its published $79 monthly rate on the 12-month plan is lower than Male Excel's $176.50 in displayed monthly injection components. That does not prove either complete first-year bill. Compare lab fees, shipping, actual payment dates, and exit terms before treating the modeled gap as your savings.
Is TRT Kingdom's $79 a month real?
Yes, on the 12-month plan. Shorter plans cost $89 or $99 a month. Kingdom's pages disagree on whether $149 lab panels are extra, so ask. The displayed monthly rate does not establish monthly payments.
Does Male Excel's $99 membership include medication?
No. Medication, the $99 monthly membership, and syringes are billed separately. The membership is required.
Do I have to pay TRT Kingdom's 12-month plan upfront?
The public plan page does not settle that. A March 2026 review displayed under Robert Lillquist's name describes full-year prepayment, but a review is not current billing policy. Ask for the payment schedule and treatment of unused services before paying.
Can I cancel Male Excel anytime?
Male Excel says you can cancel anytime. Past charges generally aren't refundable, except a possible membership refund under its 90-day guarantee. Confirm the cutoff before your next renewal and the separate terms of any annual membership.
Can I get a refund from TRT Kingdom?
Kingdom's refund policy says all sales are final and consultation payments are non-refundable.
Does TRT Kingdom offer testosterone cream?
We didn't find a testosterone cream or gel for men on Kingdom's site. Male Excel offers a twice-daily compounded cream.
Which one has better lab testing?
They test differently. Kingdom uses a Labcorp blood draw. Male Excel uses an at-home finger-prick kit whose published panel does not list hematocrit, and separately describes six-month hematocrit monitoring. Ask both about baseline blood counts and confirming your result with a second morning test; collection method alone does not prove better care.
Is the testosterone compounded?
Male Excel says its injection and cream are compounded. Kingdom says its medication comes from a compounding pharmacy. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved.
Does either take insurance?
No. Both are cash-pay. Both say they accept HSA or FSA funds; confirm the charges and paperwork with your plan administrator.
Who owns TRT Kingdom?
JKL Kingdom, LLC operates the platform. Kingdom was co-founded by bodybuilder Jay Cutler. Its CEO is Levi Barbee, whose company biography lists registered-nurse credentials. Its pages identify REM Health Medical Group, P.A. as the clinical-services provider; they do not establish the current ownership shares.
Is Male Excel available in my state?
Male Excel lists Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island as unavailable. Confirm your state before paying.
Do I need an in-person visit?
Not always. Current federal flexibilities run through December 31, 2026 and can allow an authorized clinician to prescribe after a qualifying audio-video visit without a prior in-person exam. Your state's rules or your provider may still require one.
Will either guarantee a prescription?
No. A licensed clinician decides. Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance and needs a valid prescription.
Can hCG or enclomiphene protect my fertility on TRT?
Neither is guaranteed to. If you want kids soon, talk to a reproductive urologist before starting testosterone.
Can I switch from Male Excel to TRT Kingdom?
You can request a transfer review, but acceptance and prescribing are not automatic. Kingdom's provider reviews your records and decides. Agree on continuity with your current and receiving clinicians before changing programs.
