Our Verdict
Tadalafil (Vidalista) wins for spontaneity — its 36-hour window means you do not need to time dosing precisely. Sildenafil (Cenforce) works better for men who want a lower cost per dose and a predictable 4–6 hour effect. Neither is clinically superior — the right choice depends on lifestyle and tolerability.
