Graded #49 · C
Strengths
- Low flat pricing — compounded semaglutide from $99/mo, tirzepatide from $165/mo, no subscription
- Triple Free Promise: free provider visit, free 2-day shipping, and free supplies included
- Available in all 50 states; HSA/FSA plus Afterpay/Klarna/Affirm; full refund if not approved
- Full legal suite published (Terms, Privacy, Refund Policy); board-certified providers
Where it loses points
- Lowest $99 price is the longest-commitment tier (programs range about $99-$199/mo)
- Compounding pharmacy partner not named
- 'LegitScript Certified' is stated prominently but was not independently verified here
- Operating legal entity not clearly named on the site
Graded #276 · C
Strengths
- Publishes plan pricing openly, before any intake or account creation
- Month-to-month with no long-term contract and no multi-month prepayment
- Billing starts only after a licensed provider approves treatment
- LegitScript certification verified against the issued seal, not just the badge
Where it loses points
- Its own pricing page contradicts itself: it claims no separate consultation charges, then states a $25-$60 fee applies per visit
- The consultation fee is charged whether or not a prescription is issued
- Advertised $129 and $199 rates are time-limited founding rates; standard rates are $249 and $299
- No compounding pharmacy is named anywhere on the site
- Shipping claims conflict: a 48-hour figure on the homepage against 1-2 days to ship plus 2-3 days transit in the FAQ
