Graded #219 · C
Strengths
- Direct Primary Care model integrates GLP-1 with continuous primary care — unlike most direct-to-consumer platforms
- GLP-1 at wholesale cost with no markup — semaglutide from $65/mo, tirzepatide from $110/mo (members only)
- Unlimited primary care visits, direct text access, and same-day care bundled in the $89/mo membership
- Routine labs and thousands of medications included in membership — no surprise bills
- Per-dose pricing shown publicly for all 8 dose tiers of both semaglutide and tirzepatide
Where it loses points
- The medication price is on top of an $89/mo direct-primary-care membership, which the FAQ states does not include the drug — all-in is about $174/mo for semaglutide and $222/mo for tirzepatide
- Prices are published as dose BANDS rather than per dose, and the cheapest tirzepatide band starts at 1.25 mg, below the 2.5 mg labelled starting dose
- The pricing is rendered entirely in JavaScript, so nothing on the page is readable without running the site's bundle
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
Graded #124 · C
Strengths
- LegitScript certified with an active seal; serves all 50 states plus Puerto Rico with no geographic restrictions
- All-inclusive pricing covers medication, provider consultation, and shipping with no hidden fees or add-ons
- Two pharmacy options (BPI Labs with B6, ProRx) and three plan structures: 1-month, 3-month fixed, or 3-month titrated
- Small owner-operated; founder personally handles customer support outside business hours for direct, responsive service
- Klarna and Affirm financing available; pause anytime with no long-term commitment required
Where it loses points
- No labs, coaching, or clinical monitoring included — telehealth Rx and pharmacy fulfillment only
- Small single-operator platform may limit capacity and support consistency as patient volume grows
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved; newer platform with limited long-term public track record
- Tirzepatide from $199/mo (3-mo plan) is mid-market; sema from $119/mo competitive but not lowest available
- No live video consult disclosed; async intake-form-based provider review by external licensed provider network
