The verdict

Roboclinic takes it — 65.3/100 to 58.8/100.

Roboclinic grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Roboclinic is an AI-first telehealth platform, operated by BrickFi, Inc., that starts you with an AI health assistant and then routes you to a board-certified provider for GLP-1 weight-loss care.

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.

Roboclinic

Graded #223 · C

Strengths

  • Compounded semaglutide from $179/mo and tirzepatide from $299/mo on 12-month plans
  • One all-in price bundles the provider consult, prescription, and delivery
  • Offers both injectable and oral (tablet) compounded semaglutide
  • 'Same price, every dose' means your cost does not rise as the dose increases
  • AI-first intake with board-certified provider review; no insurance necessary

Where it loses points

  • Lowest rates require a 12-month plan; month-to-month runs $299/mo (semaglutide) to $399/mo (tirzepatide)
  • Individual compounding pharmacies are not named; fulfillment is routed through OpenLoop Health
  • No published per-state list; site claims 'all 50 states, restrictions apply' and gates doctor review by region
  • Refunds limited to your most recent billing cycle; none for used or partially used periods
  • Operated by BrickFi, Inc., a newer brand with limited independent track record
