Elara MD

Graded #467 · C

Strengths

  • Dose-banded monthly pricing published on-site ($249–$649/mo across tiers)
  • Both a semaglutide-range and a tirzepatide-range (GLP-1/GIP) option, plus microdosing
  • Medication included in the monthly price with free fast shipping when prescribed
  • Broad reach claimed (over 40 states)

Where it loses points

  • Molecules not named on-site (only 'Personalized GLP-1') — compounded status is inferred
  • No FDA compounded-medication disclaimer published
  • No named compounding pharmacy partner — prescriptions are patient-directed
  • LegitScript certification, medical director, and full state list not disclosed
  • Pricier than several compounded competitors
FuturHealth

Graded #219 · C

Strengths

  • LegitScript Certified and HITRUST Certified
  • Brand-name and oral GLP-1s on one platform: Wegovy injection and pill, Zepbound, Mounjaro, Ozempic, and Foundayo
  • Early direct-to-consumer access to Foundayo (orforglipron), the new oral non-peptide GLP-1
  • Bundled registered-dietitian nutrition guidance — uncommon among pure-Rx telehealths

Where it loses points

  • Active lawsuit (Wilson v. FuturHealth) alleging unauthorized access to G-Plans subscriber data
  • BBB complaints describe recurring charges without medication received — confirm cancellation flow first
  • Pharmacy partners described only as 'licensed, U.S.-based' with no specific 503A/503B names
  • Pricing not shown until after the qualification questionnaire or portal login
  • Front-end brand built on SteadyMD and OpenLoop infrastructure, not a first-party prescriber

Also worth a look

Across all 499 providers, CoreAge Rx grades highest at 91.8/100 (A−). Top of the scorecard: flat transparent pricing, both molecules, nationwide — no teaser-rate games.
