Prime Doctor RX vs RedBox Rx
The verdict
Prime Doctor RX takes it — 73/100 to 70.2/100.
Prime Doctor RX grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Publishes its whole ladder and honors its own asterisk — then bills every 28 days and labels every price per month.
We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.

Graded #84 · C
Strengths
- The full ladder for all three weight-loss products and for TRT sits on the homepage before any intake
- The asterisk is honored: every card's footnote says the starting price is the 52-week prepay, in full
- The four-week shipping cycle is disclosed in that same footnote rather than left to a bank statement
- Names OpenLoop Health as the group providing telehealth evaluation and prescribing
- Hormone-care initial labs are priced at $50 rather than left unstated
Where it loses points
- Its own arithmetic proves the 28-day cycle — $3,497 divided by thirteen is exactly $269, and nothing on the page divides cleanly by calendar months
- A year of month-to-month tirzepatide therefore costs $4,407, not the $4,068 that per-month pricing implies
- The $269 and $179 headlines are 52-week prepays; month to month they are $339 and $249
- The Terms of Service name no company, no LLC and no address, and state availability is confirmed only during the intake
- The $50 lab fee sits in a "how it works" step rather than in the pricing table
Graded #122 · C
Strengths
- Flat, dose-independent pricing on both semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Offers both weekly injections and daily oral tablets
- Includes unlimited provider follow-ups, a metabolic panel and a dietitian session
- Backed by grocery-pharmacy parent company Hy-Vee
Where it loses points
- Does not serve every state (for example Mississippi is excluded)
- Does not publicly name its compounding pharmacy
