Generic Cialis Online: What Tadalafil Costs per Pill in 2026

This page lists every published tadalafil price, what each includes, and the cheapest way to fill it. All ED prices, including sildenafil and compounded options, are on our ED price page.

Generic tadalafil per pill, program by program

Prices are quoted from each program's own page on October 31, 2026. Where a per-dose figure is our arithmetic from a stated total and count, the program's review says so.

Every row above is FDA-approved generic tadalafil. Compounded tadalafil chews, gummies and combination tablets are left out of this table and labelled on the ED price page.

The drug on its own

We do not rank Cost Plus Drugs and earn nothing from it: it fills prescriptions but does not write them. A physician who studied telehealth pricing found tadalafil starter packs from direct-to-consumer pharmacies cost several dollars a pill, "and then 33 cents per pill from Cost Plus Drug Company." (Urology Times)

Daily versus as needed: why the monthly bill differs

Tadalafil is approved for two patterns of use, and your prescriber picks one:

• As needed, taken before sex. The Cialis label says it "was shown to improve erectile function compared to placebo up to 36 hours following dosing" (DailyMed: Cialis label). You pay per dose, so a few doses a month keeps the bill low even at a higher per-pill price.
• Once daily, a lower-strength tablet every day. The per-pill price is usually the lowest a program lists, but you buy 30 a month.

The same label also approves tadalafil for the urinary symptoms of an enlarged prostate. That matters for insurance: a plan that will not pay for ED drugs sometimes covers tadalafil prescribed for that condition.

We do not give doses or schedules. Your prescriber chooses the strength and the pattern.

Programs with prices that need a closer look

• Ro lists its as-needed generic tadalafil per dose, and its higher strengths cost several times the lowest. Its daily price is shown without saying whether it is per dose or per month, so we do not record it.
• Hims gives a monthly price paid upfront without the plan length.
• Hone Health charges a monthly membership on top of the tadalafil price, and the lower membership tier bills consults separately.
• Lemonaid charges a one-time consult on top of the pill price, which covers a year of refills.

Each review quotes the exact wording and links the page.

Generic, brand or compounded

Generic tadalafil tablets are FDA-approved copies of Cialis. Branded Cialis costs far more for the same molecule; Rex MD lists it at $29 a dose.

Tadalafil chews, gummies and 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 tablets are compounded. The FDA has told sellers "Compounded drug products are not FDA-approved." (FDA warning letter to BlueChew). If you want the approved product, ask for generic tadalafil tablets by name.

The cheapest legal route

1. Get the prescription from the program with the lowest all-in price for the pattern you need; see cheapest ED medication.
2. Ask whether it will send the prescription to a pharmacy you choose. Ro and Lemonaid say they can.
3. Price the refills at a cash pharmacy. For daily use, the gap between program and cash pharmacy adds up over a year.
