Graded #498 · C
Strengths
- Publishes the full price ladder for all three plan terms — intro month and renewal rate — directly in its FAQ
- Medication is included in the plan price, with no separate pharmacy charge
- States plainly that its compounded GLP-1s are 'not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality'
- Companion app tracks weight, protein and side effects, with medication schedule reminders
- You are not charged unless a provider approves treatment
Where it loses points
- At $449 per 4 weeks, the standing 1-month plan is among the most expensive compounded GLP-1 options we track
- The advertised $129 is the 6-month plan's intro month only — that plan then renews at $1,794 every 24 weeks
- Billed every 4 weeks rather than monthly, which is 13 charges a year instead of 12
- Never names which GLP-1 molecule is dispensed — only 'compounded, non-FDA-approved GLP-1 medications'
- No pharmacy or prescribing medical group is named anywhere on the site
Graded #314 · C
Strengths
- Names its pharmacy partner — Rush Pharmacy, a licensed 503A compounder — which many compounded-GLP-1 telehealths won't disclose
- LegitScript certified with flat, published monthly pricing, free shipping, and no insurance required
- Broad access: 47 states with US-licensed physicians and transparent cash-pay pricing
Where it loses points
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only — no brand-name GLP-1 (Wegovy or Zepbound) option
- Headline $139/$219 rates are first-quarter intro prices billed quarterly; ongoing month-to-month is $199/$299
- Not available in California, South Carolina, or New Jersey
