Graded #190 · C
Strengths
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on a flat program price, not tiered by dose
- Transparent pricing: $149 first month, then $199/mo (or $165/mo on the 3-month plan)
- 90-day money-back guarantee on GLP-1 treatment
- Dose adjustments at weeks 2, 4, and 8 included at no extra cost
- Named board-certified physicians (Dr. Amber Patel, Dr. Scott Sanderson, Dr. Scott Nass)
Where it loses points
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved finished products
- Specific 503A pharmacy partner is not named publicly
- State coverage is stated inconsistently on the site (claims both 50 and 46 states)
- No insurance billing — cash-pay only
Graded #42 · C
Strengths
- Lowest published prices here — semaglutide from $119/mo, tirzepatide from $185/mo
- One price across every dosage, so titrating up costs no more
- No membership or subscription fee, and free shipping
- All 50 states, offered in Spanish as well as English
Where it loses points
- Same-day approval with no video call means very little clinical contact before a prescription
- No published lab or monitoring programme
- Injection only, and no brand-name lane
- Sold as packages, so re-ordering is on you
