Graded #87 · C
Strengths
- Licensed in all 50 states
- Unlimited provider visits and Labcorp labs included in the plan
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide, injectable or oral
- Medication delivery typically in under four business days
Where it loses points
- Compounds bundle NAD, B-12 and L-Carnitine rather than a single-ingredient GLP-1
- Does not publicly name its compounding pharmacy or list an accreditation seal
Graded #128 · C
Strengths
- No membership and no consultation fee — the site states 'No Membership required' and 'Transparent pricing, no hidden fees'
- The semaglutide price sits in the product page's own static HTML, so it can be read before any intake
- Shipping is included: 'shipped discreetly to your door at no extra cost'
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide are offered
Where it loses points
- The tirzepatide price is not on the public site at all — it exists only inside the in-app pricing portal, and there is no standalone tirzepatide product page to read it from
- Both published figures are floors, a 'Starts @' and a Starter tier, and no price is published for the dose you titrate up to
- The states it can prescribe in are not disclosed anywhere; the dataset's own note records that semaglutide was unavailable in CA, IA and WI
- Klarna, Afterpay and Affirm are offered at checkout, so any monthly figure seen in a financing widget is an instalment and not the medication price
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
