Graded #80 · C
Strengths
- Broadest GLP-1 formulary here: brand Wegovy and Zepbound, oral Wegovy, plus compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide
- All consulting doctors are certified by The Menopause Society — a rare credential
- STARTGLP1 promo code takes $50 off the first month
- Spans the price range: compounded semaglutide from $70/mo, brand Wegovy from $199/mo (each plus the $99/mo Weight Care fee)
Where it loses points
- Menopause-focused — best for women in menopause or perimenopause, not men or younger patients
- A mandatory $99/mo Alloy Weight Care fee sits on top of every medication price (so the true minimum is ~$169/mo, not $70)
- Compounded semaglutide not available in AL, AR, CA, NV, LA, MS or DC
Graded #217 · C
Strengths
- Free telehealth consultation — you only pay for the medication
- Brand-name Mounjaro, Wegovy injection, Wegovy oral tablet, and Saxenda all available
- One of the few platforms offering Wegovy in both injection and oral pill form
- No compounded options — every drug is FDA-approved brand-name
Where it loses points
- Cash-pay pricing tracks full brand list price (~$1,000–$1,350/mo)
- No compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide (usually the cheaper route)
- State availability determined during intake, not shown upfront
- Does not offer Foundayo (orforglipron)
