NowPatient vs Roboclinic
The verdict
NowPatient takes it — 65.5/100 to 65.3/100, but only just.
NowPatient grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. NowPatient is a US-UK telehealth platform offering brand-name GLP-1 weight management access including Mounjaro, Wegovy (injection and oral tablet), and Saxenda. Roboclinic is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #217 · C
Strengths
- Free telehealth consultation — you only pay for the medication
- 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
- No compounded options — every drug is FDA-approved brand-name
Where it loses points
- Cash-pay pricing tracks full brand list price (~$1,000–$1,350/mo)
- No compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide (usually the cheaper route)
- State availability determined during intake, not shown upfront
- Does not offer Foundayo (orforglipron)
Graded #223 · C

- 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
