Graded #145 · 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
- 10 states only (WA, NM, AZ, UT, FL, DC, KS, OK, VA, GA) — limited vs 50-state platforms
- Membership required to access wholesale pricing — $89/mo adds ~$1,068/yr in fixed cost
- 503A pharmacy partners not named
- LegitScript certification not mentioned on the site
- Medical director and corporate legal entity not disclosed
Graded #59 · C
Strengths
- Broad GLP-1 menu — branded injectables (Wegovy, Zepbound, Saxenda) plus a compounded sublingual option
- LegitScript certified with named board-certified providers (Dr. Shannon Chatham DO, Andrea Sleeth WHNP-BC)
- Unusually candid about the sublingual option's limits, noting effectiveness in patients may vary
Where it loses points
- Sublingual compounded semaglutide hasn't been tested in humans, per Wisp's own page — only the injectables have FDA efficacy data
- Pharmacy partners not named
- States served not listed publicly
