Graded #258 · C
Strengths
- Vertically integrated: the prescribing practice and the compounding pharmacy are the same company, so the supply chain is short and named
- Same-day provider review and 1-3 day discreet shipping
- The full commitment ladder is published, so the month-to-month rate and the six-month rate can be compared directly
Where it loses points
- The advertised $2.63-a-day and $79 first-month figures do not correspond to any purchasable plan; the cheapest real rates are $129/mo semaglutide and $199/mo tirzepatide, both on six-month commitments, and month-to-month is $179 and $279
- The terms disclose a separate Weight Management Program Membership Fee, charged periodically on top of the plan and revealed only during checkout — it appears on no product page
- The terms also state recurring fees are charged in advance without seeking any additional authorisation
- Service is Texas-only, so nothing here is available to a reader outside that state
- The site's terms link out to lifemd.com's terms — the legal text is another company's
Graded #62 · C
Strengths
- Transparent flat-rate pricing including medication and shipping with no hidden fees
- Low $50 initial one-hour consultation
- Offers both injectable and oral tirzepatide options
- No membership fees and pricing decreases as treatment progresses
- Care from a board-certified family nurse practitioner
Where it loses points
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved
- Available in only six states (NE, IA, SD, KS, CO, AZ)
- Cash-pay only; no insurance noted
- No named compounding pharmacy partner disclosed
- No LegitScript certification shown on site
