Medications

liraglutide

Pros

✓Every medication is priced individually and published up front: compounded liraglutide $160/mo, naltrexone and bupropion $60/mo, phentermine and topiramate $65/mo, sermorelin $130/mo, each plus membership (checked July 26, 2026)
✓Care is built around actual bloodwork rather than a questionnaire alone, with lab testing included in the membership
✓Two clear membership tiers with no lock-in: Basic at $25/mo and Premium at $155/mo, cancel anytime
✓LegitScript certified, and the affiliated medical practice (Broad Health) is named rather than hidden
✓Trustpilot score of 4.8 from over 12,000 reviews
✓Also treats testosterone, thyroid, menopause and sexual health, so it suits someone wanting hormone care and weight care from one provider
✓Hone states plainly that it does not sell, manufacture or dispense medications and that third-party pharmacies set their own prices

Cons

✗The only GLP-1 offered is compounded liraglutide, a daily injection. In the SCALE trial liraglutide 3.0 mg produced about 8% mean weight loss over 56 weeks, against roughly 15% for semaglutide and 21% for tirzepatide in their trials. If you want the stronger drugs, Hone is not where to get them
✗Compounded liraglutide is not FDA-approved and has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality
✗Costs stack: $160/mo for the medication plus $25/mo Basic or $155/mo Premium membership, so the realistic all-in is roughly $185 to $315 a month for the weakest GLP-1 on the market
✗Full access to medications is described as a Premium feature, so the cheap Basic tier may not be enough for a GLP-1 plan
✗You can pay for lab work and still not qualify for treatment. The terms state neither Hone nor Broad Health controls whether the lab refunds you 'even if you do not qualify for any treatment'
✗The Terms of Use require binding arbitration and waive class action rights
✗No customer phone number; support is by email and portal only, and slow responses are a recurring complaint theme
✗This offer is not available in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah or Vermont

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Offers FDA-approved Zepbound pens and vials alongside its compounded range, so the branded route is available without leaving the platform
✓The compounded disclosure names both 503A and 503B pathways and explains why compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, rather than reciting boilerplate
✓Trademark ownership is acknowledged explicitly - Zepbound and Mounjaro attributed to Eli Lilly - instead of presenting compounds as the brands
✓Same price regardless of prescribed dose, so titrating up does not raise the bill
✓Microdosing versions of both semaglutide and tirzepatide are offered for people wanting a lower-intensity option
✓A full refund is given if you are not approved for treatment
✓Trustpilot rating of 4.8 across 906 reviews
✓Treatments are prescribed and monitored by board-certified US-licensed physicians, and the price includes medication, the online consult and ongoing support

Cons

✗The semaglutide page quotes two different starting prices in the same view: 'Get started for $183' in one block and 'Starting at $189/first month' in another, with no explanation of the difference
✗The introductory price rises sharply at renewal - $189 for the first month becomes $289/month thereafter, so the headline is a first-month figure rather than what you will pay ongoing
✗The affiliate link for this offer lands on Brightmeds' sermorelin funnel rather than its GLP-1 pages, so anyone following it for weight loss arrives at a growth-hormone peptide product
✗Basic copy errors appear on the purchase page, including '$289/mo therafter' and 'Save $50 on our First Order'
✗A 'Weight Loss Guarantee' is linked in the footer but its terms are not surfaced anywhere on the product pages
✗No BBB profile or complaint history exists to set against the Trustpilot score
✗No published customer phone number or support hours
✗As with all compounded GLP-1s, the products have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality - Brightmeds says so clearly, but it remains the core caveat
