Pricing Ladder

Dr Stan · 2026-05-16

No Pricing in Ads · Package Framing Only

Hard rule (BRAND-CONTEXT + regulatory): Dr Stan does NOT publish pricing in Meta ads. Pricing surfaces only in WhatsApp ACCA slot 8 or at consultation. This artefact is benchmarking-only — it maps Dr Stan's position against competitor pricing, builds the pill-exit math comparison for content, and recommends premium-protocol package framing language for the consultation conversation. Final ad copy retains the "no-pricing" gate.

"The price isn't the problem. The framing of value is the problem. A 6-session course at RM5,000 is 'expensive' if compared to a RM199 Cialis-pack. It's 'incredibly cheap' if compared to a 2-year pill habit at RM400/month. Dr Stan's job: do the math FOR the patient before they price-anchor against pharmacy." — Synthesis

SCENARIO A · Patient stays on pharmacy Cialis 20mg Pharmacy generic Cialis 20mg = RM15 / pill (mid-range) Monthly use (8 pills/month) = RM 120 / month Annual cost = RM1,440 / year Over 5 years = RM7,200 SCENARIO B · Patient stays on DoctorOnCall Cialis 8-pack DoctorOnCall Cialis 8-pack = RM379 / pack At ~2 packs/month (16 pills) = RM 758 / month Annual cost = RM9,096 / year Over 5 years = RM45,480 SCENARIO C · Patient does Dr Stan Tier 1 EDSWT 6-session course = RM 4,500 (one-time) Over 5 years (no additional) = RM 4,500 Break-even vs Scenario A = 3.1 years Break-even vs Scenario B = 6 months The patient on RM379-pack channel is paying RM4,500-equivalent in 6 months in pills. Equivalent statement: "After 6 months on the Cialis 8-pack, you've spent more than a single 6-session course at Dr Stan. And you're STILL on the pills."

Final positioning summary

Dr Stan price-position vs market

Dr Stan Tier 1 at RM4,500 sits in the upper-middle of KL ESWT pricing (between Vivardi's RM2-6K range and the Hospital tier RM3-10K+). Same price-tier as the Alpha Clinic (Mont Kiara, premium location). Dr Stan justifies the tier via: Medispec ED 1000 FDA (vs Hisential Dornier or generic) · 12-year operating (vs 5-year Hisential, sub-5-year Vivardi) · Dr Stanley named-founder doctor (vs faceless Hisential, single-doctor Vivardi) · Calgary MD + IMU Assoc Prof credentialism (vs MBBS-only competitors).

For Vincent 50 ICP, Tier 3 at RM9,500 is below his ceiling (RM12K). Premium-tier ELITE positioning he expects.

For Ah Keat 48 ICP, Tier 1 at RM4,500 = 6 months of his DoctorOnCall pill-pack. The math is the closer.
