Graded #168 · C
Strengths
- Price Lock Guarantee — your $299 base rate doesn't rise as your dose escalates
- Fast onboarding: roughly 5-minute intake, 24-hour prescription turnaround, 2–4 day shipping
- 24/7 care team access with unlimited clinician messaging included
- LegitScript certified
- Clear Section 503A compounding disclosure on every landing page
Where it loses points
- Not BBB accredited — C+ rating with 10 complaints, mostly shipping delays and support access
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
- Markets oral tirzepatide, but no FDA-approved oral tirzepatide exists
- Very new company (incorporated May 2024) with a limited track record
- Pharmacy partners not named, so 503A compliance can't be independently verified
Graded #282 · C
Strengths
- Transparent, upfront monthly pricing — intro $149/mo for compounded semaglutide and $249/mo for tirzepatide (regular $229 / $349)
- Clean, modern telehealth experience with a quick eligibility quiz and clinician review before any prescription
- HIPAA-compliant and displays a LegitScript-style verification seal
Where it loses points
- Headline prices are intro first-month fees — the regular monthly cost is higher ($229 semaglutide, $349 tirzepatide)
- Connector model that pairs you with licensed providers; it doesn't name its compounding pharmacy
- Doesn't publish the states it serves, so confirm availability before signing up
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections only — no oral, brand-name, or insurance options
