The verdict

Citizen Meds takes it — 63.7/100 to 63.4/100, but only just.

Citizen Meds grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Citizen Meds is a GLP-1/weight-loss injection provider offering semaglutide. StackMD is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.

Citizen Meds

Graded #254 · C

Strengths

  • Semaglutide confirmed from product listings
  • New-patient discount available (code NEWPATIENT10)

Where it loses points

  • State availability not disclosed
  • About page returns a 404
  • Limited overall transparency
StackMD

Graded #258 · C

Strengths

  • Publishes an exact price for every dose strength rather than a single 'from' figure — semaglutide $125-$225, tirzepatide $199-$449
  • Names both its legal entity (Medical 360 HC PLLC) and its prescribing telehealth partner, SamaritanMD
  • No membership or platform fee — the medication price is the whole price
  • States plainly that its compounded medications are 'not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy, or quality'
  • Telehealth offered in all 50 states per its terms, with free discreet shipping and FSA/HSA eligibility

Where it loses points

  • All sales are final — 'No refunds are issued except as described below', and dispensed medication cannot be returned
  • Compounding pharmacies are never named, only 'a licensed third-party pharmacy'
  • Price rises steeply with dose: tirzepatide runs $199 at 5mg to $449 at 30mg
  • Billing and refunds are handled by SamaritanMD — StackMD 'has no authority to issue refunds' on its behalf
  • Terms impose binding arbitration in New York and waive jury trial and class-action participation
