The verdict
Joi + Blokes takes it — 66.1/100 to 58.4/100.
Joi + Blokes grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Joi + Blokes is a hormone-first telehealth platform with parallel programs for women (Joi) and men (Blokes), now expanded to compounded GLP-1s for weight loss.

Graded #373 · C
Strengths
- LegitScript-certified with an independently verifiable seal (#50306023) and HIPAA compliance — a strong trust signal for a compounded-GLP-1 telehealth
- Names its dispensing pharmacy: Red Rock Compounding Pharmacy, LegitScript-certified and NABP-accredited, licensed in 49 states plus DC
- Flat pricing at every dose ("same price at every dose, no surprises") plus free expedited shipping, so your cost won't rise as you titrate up
- Competitive prepay rates — compounded semaglutide as low as $179/mo (12-mo) and tirzepatide $299/mo — with zero interest and no credit check
- Money-back guarantee for qualifying patients who complete the full 28-week program without losing weight; available in all 50 states + DC
Where it loses points
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only — no brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound or Ozempic — and compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-reviewed or approved
- Even the "monthly" plan requires a 3-month commitment with three months of medication shipped and billed upfront — limited month-to-month flexibility
- Standing month-to-month pricing is steep ($279 semaglutide, $399 tirzepatide); the lowest rates require 6- or 12-month prepay
- The provider chooses semaglutide vs tirzepatide for you, so you can't freely pick your own molecule
- Registered as Aspen Health Systems LLC at a Sheridan, WY address; async model with no routine video visit
Graded #204 · C
Strengths
- Separate programs for women (Joi) and men (Blokes) — most GLP-1 telehealth is gender-agnostic
- Trustpilot 4.6/5 from 1,254+ reviews — among the strongest review signals in the category
- Monthly price includes medication, dosing support, clinician consults, and health coaching
- Integrated hormone + GLP-1 programs help patients on testosterone or perimenopausal protocols
- First-month discount ($99 sema / $149 tirz) lowers the barrier to trying GLP-1s
Where it loses points
- Billed quarterly — a 3-month commitment up front, not month-to-month
- Different pricing in NY and NJ — verify your state's cost before committing
- Per-state availability isn't listed; it's zip-code gated behind signup
- Months 2+ cost more ($199 sema / $299 tirz) than the headline intro price
- No FDA-approved Wegovy — compounded only on the GLP-1 side; Zepbound carries a separate visit fee
