About Us

Since 2018, we've reviewed 500+ telemedicine apps and wellness startups.

We pour thousands of hours into our research and have partnered with medical experts – physicians, dentists, therapists, nutritionists, and more – to review our content and ensure medical accuracy.

 

We obsess over the latest health and wellness trends, then distill our findings into digestible, medically-reviewed articles that cut through the noise. 

 

Curious if the D2C wellness brands you see on Instagram and subway station ads actually work? You know… keep you eating right? Exercising regularly? Looking younger? Feeling centered?

 

Fin vs Fin helps you compare the best online health treatments and ultimately make the best choices for your own personal well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions

We want to be upfront about the fact that we add affiliate links to our posts. These links allow brands to compensate us for the traffic we refer.

 

We spend thousands of hours researching products in order to keep our reviews authentic and accurate. We are proud that all the information, comparison tools, and personal experiences we share remain objective, independent, and accurate to the very best of our knowledge. If you notice that anything we’ve published is outdated or otherwise untrue, please reach out so we we can correct any misinformation right away.

No, nor do we claim to. When it comes to telemedicine and wellness offerings in general, someone’s individual experience is just one data point, but is often less relevant than other facts. As an example, it would be unwise to try  a new brand of contact lenses or birth control, simply because they worked well for someone on our team.

 

Instead, our goal is to lay out objective facts about the products and brands we review to make it easier for shoppers to make decisions about them. One of those facts may be our personal  experience with a product, but not always.

Yes! We work with an accomplished team of board-certified physicians, dentists, personal trainers, therapists, and more who are experts in their field to review everything we publish and ensure medical accuracy. The last thing we want to do is spread misinformation, especially when it comes to healthcare, so we work with credentialed experts with years of experience in the field to raise the bar.
