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

Monthly Price
$219
Medications
semaglutide

Pros

  • One number, everything in it: $219 for a monthly supply including the provider consult, the medication if approved, and shipping, with no separate consult or membership fees
  • A cheaper, honestly-labelled microdose lane at $179 a month for people who want a gentler approach - and it says outright that the microdose "does not titrate up"
  • It draws the distinction between the two lanes plainly rather than upselling: full dose for "serious, sustained weight management", microdose for a "gentle, mindful, cosmetic approach"
  • The compounding disclosure is unusually complete - it names the FDA-approved alternatives (Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus) and states they are commercially available
  • A licensed provider reviews every intake, and the care team stays reachable through the patient portal for dose questions at no added cost
  • Medication ships monthly from a state-licensed sterile compounding pharmacy
  • Payment plans are offered (five payments of $43.80 shown on the product page)
  • Free standard shipping on orders over $100

Cons

  • Compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved and does not undergo FDA review for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
  • The microdosing lane is marketed for cosmetic weight loss, which is not an evidence-based clinical indication - no trial has tested fixed sub-therapeutic semaglutide dosing for that purpose
  • Only semaglutide. There is no tirzepatide option, so if semaglutide does not suit you there is nowhere to go inside the service
  • No phone number is published
  • The dispensing pharmacy is described only as "a state licensed sterile compounding pharmacy" and is never named
  • No refund, cancellation or money-back policy is published on the product page
  • No insurance billing and no HSA/FSA guidance
  • Marketed specifically to women, which is a positioning choice rather than a clinical one
