Straight answer

How we make money (the honest version).

Every review on this site is free to read. No paywall, no locked verdicts, no "subscribe to see the winner." Here's how we pay for the work, and why the way we get paid can't reach the rankings.

What those /go links are

When you click a "check pricing" or provider link on Peptide Samples, it routes through a /goredirect on our own domain. Some of those links are affiliate links: if you sign up with a provider after clicking, that provider may pay us a commission. The price you pay is identical either way, the commission comes out of the provider's marketing budget, not your pocket. That commission funds the pricing audits, the program comparisons, and the writing.

Verdicts come first. Money comes after.

Rankings are set on the merits, provider transparency, the credentials of the clinicians involved, what's actually included (labs, follow-up, monitoring), total cost, and how the experience holds up, beforeanyone checks whether a provider has an affiliate program. The order doesn't change afterward. If the best provider on a list earns us nothing, it stays at the top of the list.

  • A provider cannot buy a ranking, a "Best Overall" badge, or a softer review. Not for any amount.
  • We don't accept sponsored verdicts or paid placements, and we don't run "advertorial" reviews.
  • Comped consultations or trial access don't buy anything either, a provider we paid for and one that waived a fee are scored the same way.
  • If our verdict and our wallet ever disagree, the verdict wins. That's the whole business model: being worth trusting twice.

The methodology behind every verdict is published in full at how we compare.

The Provider Finder, too

Our matching tool recommends from the same editorial catalog as our reviews, providers that cleared the same transparency-first bar. Its results may include affiliate links, and the same rule applies: your answers pick the providers, not the payout.

The serious notes

  • Educational only, not medical advice. We report what providers publish about their services, pricing, and policies, and describe what a compound is, we don't diagnose, treat, prescribe, or make any health claim about any peptide. Nothing here is a substitute for care from a licensed clinician.
  • We do not sell, compound, ship, or prescribe anything. "Samples" means we sample, that is, review, telehealth providers. We are not a pharmacy, a compounder, a clinic, or a healthcare provider, and we do not distribute free peptides.
  • Many peptides are investigational and not FDA-approved. Compounds like BPC-157 and TB-500 are not FDA-approved, and their availability and legality vary by state and pharmacy. Prescription peptides (such as sermorelin, ipamorelin, and CJC-1295) require a consultation with a licensed provider, who alone decides what, if anything, is appropriate. Semaglutide and tirzepatide are FDA-approved prescription GLP-1 medications. Be wary of anyone offering prescription peptides without a clinician, labs, and monitoring.
  • Avoid gray-market "research only" peptides. Vials sold "for research use, not for human consumption" are unregulated and carry real risks. Legitimate access runs through a licensed provider, never a gray-market vendor.
  • Talk to your own healthcare provider first before making any decision about peptide therapy, especially if you have existing health conditions, take other medications, or are pregnant or nursing.
  • Adults only. Our content is written for adults 18+.
  • Prices change often. Pricing we cite is attributed to the provider and accurate to the best of our knowledge at the time of writing, always verify current cost, what's included, and terms at the source before you commit.
