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 #160 · C
Strengths
- Flat, all-inclusive monthly pricing with no hidden fees — compounded semaglutide $299/month and tirzepatide $399/month, all doses included

- Multiple options: compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide, oral tirzepatide, and phentermine
- DNA-calibrated dosing option that tailors the GLP-1 dose to how you metabolize it
- Broad coverage in 47 states and DC, with free shipping and cancel-anytime plans
Where it loses points
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved — not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
- Not available in Alaska, Mississippi, or New Jersey
- The compounding pharmacy partner is not named
- A separate weight-loss consultation fee applies (credited toward your medication package if approved)
- Trustpilot rating and review counts (4.9, 14,000+) are self-stated on the site
