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

✓Both price ladders are published in full and the arithmetic is correct at every tier. Semaglutide runs $249 for one month, $217/mo over three ($650), $175/mo over six ($1,050) and $158/mo over twelve ($1,900), checked July 27, 2026
✓Tirzepatide is laid out the same way: $297 monthly, $267/mo over three ($800), $217/mo over six ($1,299) and $167/mo over twelve ($1,999)
✓Every advertised saving checks out - the 13%, 30%, 37%, 10%, 27% and 44% figures all match the underlying numbers
✓One price across all doses, from 0.25mg to 2.4mg semaglutide and 2.5mg to 15mg tirzepatide, so titrating up never costs more
✓Possible side effects are listed openly on the product page - nausea, injection site reactions, decreased appetite and gastrointestinal discomfort - with a note that most are mild and temporary
✓Both injectable and oral formats are offered at the same published prices
✓Medication, provider review, personalised dosing and ongoing support are all included in the price, with free shipping and cancel-anytime terms

Cons

✗We could not find an explicit statement that the compounded medications are not FDA-approved. The site explains what compounding is but omits the disclosure nearly every competitor makes
✗Trustpilot has exactly one review of this domain, so there is effectively no independent evidence about the service against a claim of 2,400+ patients
✗Tirzepatide is billed as the 'Most powerful GLP-1 medication available' - a superiority claim made about a compounded preparation that has not been trialled against anything
✗The 'up to 15% of their body weight in a year' figure is presented as what TMates has seen in its own patients, with no published data behind it
✗The lowest advertised rates require paying for a full year upfront - $1,900 for semaglutide or $1,999 for tirzepatide
✗The site is behind bot protection and will not load without JavaScript, so pricing is invisible to anyone browsing with scripts disabled
✗No published customer phone number, support email or support hours
✗No BBB profile or complaint record to check
