The verdict

Graded #282 · C
Strengths
- Transparent, upfront monthly pricing — intro $149/mo for compounded semaglutide and $249/mo for tirzepatide (regular $229 / $349)
- Clean, modern telehealth experience with a quick eligibility quiz and clinician review before any prescription
- HIPAA-compliant and displays a LegitScript-style verification seal
Where it loses points
- Headline prices are intro first-month fees — the regular monthly cost is higher ($229 semaglutide, $349 tirzepatide)
- Connector model that pairs you with licensed providers; it doesn't name its compounding pharmacy
- Doesn't publish the states it serves, so confirm availability before signing up
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections only — no oral, brand-name, or insurance options
Graded #274 · C
Strengths
- Semaglutide confirmed from page metadata
- Published flat package pricing: semaglutide from $149, tirzepatide $189 for a 7-week supply, no insurance/memberships/contracts
Where it loses points
- Advertised prices are 7-week package prices, not monthly; homepage banner ('$199 for 7 weeks') conflicts with the program page ('Starting $149')
