Graded #284 · 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 #40 · C+
Strengths
- Publishes standing per-dose self-pay prices for compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, oral and injectable
- Compounded semaglutide from $109/mo (oral) or $149/mo (injectable); brand Wegovy/Zepbound offered when appropriate
- Telehealth across seven states plus an in-person option at its Frisco, TX office
Where it loses points
- $149 initial evaluation and $75 follow-up visits are billed separately from medication
- Filled through your 'preferred pharmacy' — no single named compounding pharmacy partner
- No LegitScript certification displayed
