Pros

  • Accepts insurance, which almost nothing else on this site does. Most in-network patients pay a copay of $30 or less for a visit
  • Membership is $19.99/month with the first month free, and there is no minimum commitment
  • Prescribes only FDA-approved medications - Zepbound, Wegovy, Saxenda, Contrave and Xenical - so no compounded product is involved
  • Care comes from board-certified primary care physicians rather than an asynchronous questionnaire review
  • A full refund is offered if the doctor is unable to treat you
  • Membership includes far more than weight care: 24/7 urgent care video visits, mental health support, discounted lab tests and free memberships for family
  • An in-app prescription discount card and HSA/FSA eligibility can reduce medication costs further
  • The site is candid that GLP-1s 'usually cost about $1000 per month out of pocket' and advises checking insurance coverage first, rather than hiding the real figure

Cons

  • The $19.99 membership buys access, not medication. Without insurance coverage the GLP-1 itself can run about $1,000 a month, which PlushCare states openly but which makes the headline price misleading if read as a treatment cost
  • Visits are charged on top of membership - $129 for an initial visit without in-network insurance
  • Trustpilot sits at 3.4 out of 5 across 2,735 reviews, the weakest score of any established provider we have reviewed here
  • Prescriptions are explicitly at the doctor's discretion, so paying for membership and a visit does not guarantee you leave with a GLP-1
  • This is a general telehealth service, so the weight-loss programme has less dedicated structure - no built-in coaching, food tracking or dose-titration support
  • Medication and lab costs are excluded from every advertised price, so your real monthly outlay depends entirely on your insurer
  • Contrave is offered as a $99 cash-pay alternative, but the cash cost of the GLP-1s themselves is not published
  • If you have no insurance and want a GLP-1, this route is likely to cost far more than the compounded providers listed elsewhere on this site

Pros

  • Roughly 4,000 Trustpilot reviews averaging 4.5 - a genuinely strong independent record
  • 'Same price at every dose' - your rate does not climb as you titrate up, which is a real differentiator against providers whose cost doubles between starting and top dose
  • No long-term contracts, and free expedited shipping on all orders
  • FSA and HSA eligible across the plans
  • Same-day doctor visits and prescriptions, with 24/7 provider messaging
  • A wide catalogue under one provider - GLP-1s, sermorelin, NAD+, MIC+B12, glutathione, women's hormone therapy, hair growth and skincare
  • Branded options are available too, with the site referencing access to Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound alongside the compounded line

Cons

  • The advertised '$99/mo' is medication only. An Eden Membership is mandatory - $39 for the first month, then auto-renewing at $99/month - and is billed separately, so the realistic entry cost is about $198/month. Compounded tirzepatide at $199 works out closer to $298
  • The membership terms state it 'does not include or guarantee a prescription', and medication is not available without it - so you can pay the fee and be prescribed nothing
  • The banner headline 'Compounded semaglutide for $99/mo' appears across the site without the membership caveat attached
  • 'FDA-registered labs' is used prominently, but the site does not explain that a registered facility is not an FDA-approved medicine and that compounded preparations are not reviewed for safety, efficacy or quality
  • No published phone number - support runs through email and in-app messaging
  • The '127,000+ members' figure is the company's own with no independent corroboration
  • GLP-1 medications are not suitable for anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, or during pregnancy
