Graded #276 · C
Strengths
- Publishes plan pricing openly, before any intake or account creation
- Month-to-month with no long-term contract and no multi-month prepayment
- Billing starts only after a licensed provider approves treatment
- LegitScript certification verified against the issued seal, not just the badge
Where it loses points
- Its own pricing page contradicts itself: it claims no separate consultation charges, then states a $25-$60 fee applies per visit
- The consultation fee is charged whether or not a prescription is issued
- Advertised $129 and $199 rates are time-limited founding rates; standard rates are $249 and $299
- No compounding pharmacy is named anywhere on the site
- Shipping claims conflict: a 48-hour figure on the homepage against 1-2 days to ship plus 2-3 days transit in the FAQ
Graded #64 · C
Strengths
- LegitScript certified — passes accreditation standards recognized by Google and Visa for online telehealth
- Compounded all-in pricing: semaglutide $199/mo and tirzepatide $299/mo includes medication, provider care, and shipping
- Brand-name options (Wegovy pill, injectable sema, Zepbound) available for eligible patients, potentially $0-$25/mo with insurance
- Nationwide (49 states + DC); no appointment required, licensed provider reviews intake within 12 hours
- 0% financing through Credee from $79/month (12-24 months) plus Affirm and Klarna with ~97% approval rate
Where it loses points
- No labs or clinical monitoring disclosed — blood work requirements not mentioned anywhere on site
- Leadership team and medical director not identified on site — no named prescribers or company founders published
- Brand-name prescriptions add a $44/month provider fee on top of medication cost, raising total price to $193-$343/mo
- No coaching, dietitian, or behavioral support at any tier — medication and async provider access only
- 30-day satisfaction guarantee covers evaluation fee only; medication costs explicitly non-refundable
