Graded #149 · C
Strengths

- Semaglutide from $145/mo on the 12-month plan ($165/mo month-to-month) - among the lowest in the dataset
Where it loses points

Graded #222 · C

- Brand-name Mounjaro, Wegovy injection, Wegovy oral tablet, and Saxenda all available
- One of the few platforms offering Wegovy in both injection and oral pill form
