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
Graded #191 · C
Strengths
- Flat monthly membership bundles the medication, telehealth visits, a 1:1 care coach and a licensed registered dietitian — one price, no hidden fees
- Same price every dose, no auto-renewal, cancel anytime; free shipping and no insurance needed (FSA eligible)
- Names a compounding pharmacy partner (Foothills Pharmacy) and states it services all 50 states
- Free, no-obligation online assessment before you pay anything
Where it loses points
- Shows a LegitScript 'approval' but links only a generic directory search, not a verifiable seal — we couldn't independently confirm it
- Promo-driven pricing with a countdown timer and 'price increases' urgency; the standing membership is $129 (sema) / $179 (tirz)
- A technology platform that coordinates care, not the medical provider; individual clinicians and a medical director aren't named on the site
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only — no brand-name (Wegovy/Zepbound) options
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-reviewed or approved — a different evidence and regulatory tier than brand-name
