Graded #125 · C
Strengths
- Year-long program with 1:1 video coaching, dietitian support, and behavior-change curriculum — a deeper clinical wrap than transactional telehealth
- $199/month program fee is competitive; medication co-pay can drop to ~$25/month with insurance and a manufacturer savings card
- Branded GLP-1s only (Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Foundayo) — no compounded products
- Insurance navigation team works to maximize coverage and reportedly accepts most major commercial plans
- Money-back guarantee tied to a 10% weight-loss outcome over the program year
Where it loses points
- Medication cost is on top of the $199/month fee; cash-pay patients face full manufacturer pricing
- Insurance navigation only helps if your plan actually covers branded GLP-1s for weight loss — many don't
- Meaningfully more expensive than compounded telehealth if your insurance denies coverage
- Distinct from 'Oxford's Medical Weight Loss (The Calibrate Clinic)' — don't confuse the two
- Initial 3-month commitment required ($597 total, billed as $199/mo) before it renews month-to-month — more lock-in than month-to-month rivals
Graded #60 · C
Strengths
- Flat, dose-independent pricing marketed as '$95/month, any dose, forever' — no upcharge as your dose increases
- Low starting prices: compounded semaglutide as low as $99/mo and tirzepatide as low as $149/mo
- Medication ships in about 48 hours and you can cancel anytime
- Simple, transparent GLP-1 focus with pricing shown up front before signup
Where it loses points
- Prescribing medical group and compounding pharmacy are not named on the site
- States of operation are not published; confirm eligibility during intake
- No LegitScript certification is displayed
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
