Graded #150 · C
Strengths
- Annual plan as low as $99/mo for semaglutide or $125/mo for tirzepatide
- Offers both compounded and brand-name GLP-1s (Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound) in one platform
- Includes health coaching, active community, and free expedited shipping on every plan
- LegitScript certified; medications sourced from audited, licensed US compounding pharmacies
- Same-day provider visits, personalized dosing, and 24/7 care team messaging
Where it loses points
- States served not publicly listed; telehealth coverage unconfirmed for all states
- Monthly starting price ($175 sema / $235 tirz) is mid-market without annual commitment
- Labs not disclosed or included in any published plan tier
- Brand-name GLP-1 pricing not published; insurance or coupon required
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved
Graded #282 · C
Strengths
- Transparent, upfront monthly pricing — intro $149/mo for compounded semaglutide and $249/mo for tirzepatide (regular $229 / $349)
- Clean, modern telehealth experience with a quick eligibility quiz and clinician review before any prescription
- HIPAA-compliant and displays a LegitScript-style verification seal
Where it loses points
- Headline prices are intro first-month fees — the regular monthly cost is higher ($229 semaglutide, $349 tirzepatide)
- Connector model that pairs you with licensed providers; it doesn't name its compounding pharmacy
- Doesn't publish the states it serves, so confirm availability before signing up
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections only — no oral, brand-name, or insurance options
