Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Prescribes FDA-approved branded GLP-1s - Zepbound and Wegovy - rather than compounded preparations, so you get the exact product the trials studied
✓Accepts insurance including Medicare, and advertises as low as $0 copay for branded GLP-1s where coverage applies
✓Publishes cash prices too: Wegovy Pen from $199/month and Zepbound Vial from $349/month (checked July 28, 2026)
✓Offers an outcome-based guarantee: 'lose 10% of your weight or your money back', which ties the promise to a result rather than a satisfaction survey
✓HSA and FSA eligible
✓Weight care sits inside a full telehealth service, so urgent care, labs and other specialties are available under the same account

Cons

✗The rotating banner on the weight-management page shows the Wegovy Pen at both '$199' and '$499' in the same carousel, which makes the real starting price unclear before you sign up
✗The money-back guarantee carries a footnote marker on site, so read the qualifying conditions before relying on it
✗Insurance coverage for obesity medication is patchy, so the '$0 copay' outcome will not apply to many people and the cash prices are what you should plan around
✗A 4.0 Trustpilot average is mid-range for this category
✗Branded GLP-1s at $199-$349/month are more expensive than compounded alternatives, which is the trade-off for using an FDA-approved product
✗GLP-1 medications are not suitable for anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, or during pregnancy

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
