Graded #267 · C
Strengths
- Branded, FDA-approved GLP-1s — Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro and Saxenda — rather than compounded copies
- The membership band is published before intake and is banded openly by level of coach support
- Medical visits, daily monitoring and 1-on-1 coaching are included in the membership at every tier
- Led by CMO Dr. Henry Legere (UC Berkeley, Columbia medicine, Harvard fellowship)
- Members with commercial insurance may pay around $25 a month for the medication after any deductible
Where it loses points
- The membership is overhead, not a medication price: it covers visits, monitoring and coaching, and the FAQ says medication pricing is confirmed only after a provider consultation
- No self-pay drug price is published anywhere, so the cost of a month cannot be worked out before signing up
- The best case depends on commercial insurance coverage; without it the medication cost is unknown
- No compounded option is disclosed — the programme is brand-focused, and brand list prices are the dearest route to a GLP-1
- The states it can prescribe in are not published
Graded #78 · C
Strengths
- The starter rate and the standing rate are both published, so the step-up is visible before signing up
- No membership fees and no hidden costs, stated as such
- The dose ladder is published: four weeks at 0.25 mg then four weeks at 0.5 mg
- Brand-name routes are priced openly, at retail
Where it loses points
- The $74 rate is a two-month starter plan billed as $149 up front, and it is open only to patients new to GLP-1 medication; the standing monthly rate is $149
- Tirzepatide has no equivalent standing discount — $299/mo is the ongoing rate
- Brand-name routes are priced at retail: Wegovy $1,839 and Zepbound $1,498
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
