The verdict

LifeRx.md takes it — 69.3/100 to 63.4/100.

LifeRx.md grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. LifeRx.md is a LegitScript-certified US telehealth provider offering customized weight loss with GLP-1s.

We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.

LifeRx.md

Graded #134 · C

Strengths

  • Flat pricing that does not rise with dose: semaglutide ~$200, tirzepatide ~$275 per 5-week supply
  • LegitScript certified; prescriptions filled by state-licensed 503A pharmacies
  • Available in all 50 states
  • HSA and FSA payments accepted
  • Required video telehealth consult ensures clinician oversight

Where it loses points

  • Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved for safety, efficacy or quality
  • Extra fees stack up: ~$30 shipping, $49.95 initial consult, $25 follow-ups
  • True monthly cost (~$255) is higher than the headline medication price
  • Specific list of supported states not enumerated on site
StackMD

Graded #259 · C

Strengths

  • Publishes an exact price for every dose strength rather than a single 'from' figure — semaglutide $125-$225, tirzepatide $199-$449
  • Names both its legal entity (Medical 360 HC PLLC) and its prescribing telehealth partner, SamaritanMD
  • No membership or platform fee — the medication price is the whole price
  • States plainly that its compounded medications are 'not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy, or quality'
  • Telehealth offered in all 50 states per its terms, with free discreet shipping and FSA/HSA eligibility

Where it loses points

  • All sales are final — 'No refunds are issued except as described below', and dispensed medication cannot be returned
  • Compounding pharmacies are never named, only 'a licensed third-party pharmacy'
  • Price rises steeply with dose: tirzepatide runs $199 at 5mg to $449 at 30mg
  • Billing and refunds are handled by SamaritanMD — StackMD 'has no authority to issue refunds' on its behalf
  • Terms impose binding arbitration in New York and waive jury trial and class-action participation

Also worth a look
