Graded #191 · C
Strengths
- Flat monthly membership bundles the medication, telehealth visits, a 1:1 care coach and a licensed registered dietitian — one price, no hidden fees
- Same price every dose, no auto-renewal, cancel anytime; free shipping and no insurance needed (FSA eligible)
- Names a compounding pharmacy partner (Foothills Pharmacy) and states it services all 50 states
- Free, no-obligation online assessment before you pay anything
Where it loses points
- Shows a LegitScript 'approval' but links only a generic directory search, not a verifiable seal — we couldn't independently confirm it
- Promo-driven pricing with a countdown timer and 'price increases' urgency; the standing membership is $129 (sema) / $179 (tirz)
- A technology platform that coordinates care, not the medical provider; individual clinicians and a medical director aren't named on the site
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only — no brand-name (Wegovy/Zepbound) options
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-reviewed or approved — a different evidence and regulatory tier than brand-name
Graded #122 · C
Strengths
- No membership and no consultation fee — the site states 'No Membership required' and 'Transparent pricing, no hidden fees'
- The semaglutide price sits in the product page's own static HTML, so it can be read before any intake
- Shipping is included: 'shipped discreetly to your door at no extra cost'
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide are offered
Where it loses points
- The tirzepatide price is not on the public site at all — it exists only inside the in-app pricing portal, and there is no standalone tirzepatide product page to read it from
- Both published figures are floors, a 'Starts @' and a Starter tier, and no price is published for the dose you titrate up to
- The states it can prescribe in are not disclosed anywhere; the dataset's own note records that semaglutide was unavailable in CA, IA and WI
- Klarna, Afterpay and Affirm are offered at checkout, so any monthly figure seen in a financing widget is an instalment and not the medication price
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
