Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Flat pricing across doses is promised in the banner: "SAME PRICE EVERY MONTH"
✓Promotional rates published up front - GLP-1 from $89/month and GLP-1 + GIP from $149/month
✓24/7 support advertised, and no insurance required

Cons

✗The FDA has formally told altRx that its labelling and its "clinically proven" claims misrepresented its compounded products - see the warning letter above
✗The medication is compounded and therefore not FDA-approved - the agency has not reviewed it for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
✗Compounded GLP-1 pricing in this tier is cheap partly because the product carries none of the trial programme, patent or distribution costs of the approved drug - and none of its regulatory review either
✗The headline rates are a dated summer promotion ("OFFER ENDS AUGUST 5TH AT MIDNIGHT") against a standing price of $199/month, so the advertised figure is not the ongoing one
✗No phone number, refund policy or pharmacy named on the site

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatideoral semaglutide

Pros

✓Prescribes FDA-approved brand-name semaglutide rather than a compounded copy, which puts it in a small minority of the telehealth providers on this site
✓No membership and no subscription: "You only pay when you need to order your next medication refill", and you can delay a refill without losing access
✓Published entry pricing of $149/month for the oral semaglutide programme, with self-pay from $200 depending on dose for the injection
✓A 15-minute telehealth consultation with a board-certified physician, not an asynchronous form that a clinician rubber-stamps
✓Individual physicians are named on the site with their specialty and medical school, which most competitors do not do
✓LegitScript-certified, and states 250,000+ patients served across all 50 states
✓Publishes clear eligibility criteria: BMI 30+, or BMI 27+ with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol
✓Names the medullary thyroid carcinoma contraindication in its own patient-facing copy instead of burying it
✓Explicit transfer pathway if you are already on a GLP-1 elsewhere - your dose is reviewed and continued rather than restarted
✓Delivery quoted at 24-48 hours after prescription approval, in temperature-controlled packaging

Cons

✗The site advertises "a 4.8 average for Heally reviews", but the public Trustpilot profile for getheally.com showed a 4-star rating from roughly 37 reviews when we checked, and Trustpilot's own category listing showed a lower TrustScore again. The advertised figure is not the one you can verify
✗Pricing is a starting point rather than a fixed rate - "self pay options starts at $200 depending on dose" means your cost rises as you titrate
✗No phone number is published; support runs through careteam@getheally.com
✗Heally is a platform connecting patients to independent providers, so continuity depends on which physician you draw
✗Insurance is not billed directly - coverage is something to "ask about at your free consultation" rather than a service Heally operates
✗The catalogue spans weight loss, hormones, NAD+ and lab testing, so the weight-loss programme is one line among many rather than the whole company
