Cost Plus Drugs vs TrueMe
The verdict
TrueMe takes it — 67.6/100 to 58.5/100.
TrueMe grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. TrueMe is a cash-pay telehealth brand offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with added B vitamins, alongside NAD+, sermorelin and glutathione.
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.

Graded #370 · C
Strengths
- Transparent pricing: wholesale cost + 15% markup + $5 pharmacy fee, the same for everyone
- Around $279/mo for branded Ozempic — well below typical retail list prices
- Mark Cuban's PBM-disrupting pharmacy, praised by Forbes Health, Wired, and KFF Health News
- Ships to all 50 states; genuine FDA-approved Novo Nordisk Ozempic, not compounded
- Partnered with 9amHealth so you can get prescribed and fill at Cost Plus pricing
Where it loses points
- Fulfillment only — no telehealth intake; you need a prescription from an outside clinician
- Ozempic is FDA-indicated for type 2 diabetes, not weight management — weight-loss use is off-label
- Wegovy availability has been spotty — check current stock before assuming it ships
- No compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide — brand only
- No clinical follow-up — side-effect monitoring falls to your prescribing clinician
Graded #163 · C
Strengths
- One price covers consultation, medication, shipping, supplies and provider support, and the site states there are no separate membership fees
- Same price at every dose, so the cost does not climb as a provider titrates the dose upward
- Full pricing is published up front — no intake form is required before you can see what you will pay
- Carries a genuine LegitScript-issued seal (ID 50205625) that resolves on LegitScript's own asset host
- Names its telehealth platform (Telegra) and physician network (Strive), and the returns address names CarePoint Infusion Pharmacy in Stafford, Texas
Where it loses points
- Serves only six states (AZ, CO, MO, PA, TX, WI), far narrower coverage than most national GLP-1 telehealth
- Prices marketed per month are charged every 4 weeks at checkout — 13 charges a year, not 12
- You pay before completing the medical intake, and approval is not guaranteed at the moment you are charged
- The 3-month rates ($119 and $139/mo) are a single upfront charge of $357 or $417, not a lower monthly plan
- A Featured In strip shows CNN, Fox News, Forbes, New York Times and NPR logos with no linked coverage
