Medications

semaglutidetirzepatideliraglutide

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

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatidemetformin

Pros

✓One of the cheapest published entry prices in the category: "GLP-1's As Low as $118"
✓Both a GLP-1 with B12 and a GLP-1 + GIP with B12 injectable are offered, so semaglutide-class and tirzepatide-class options are both available
✓A free assessment before you pay anything
✓It is explicit that medication only follows a real consultation: "Before receiving any medication, patients are required to complete an online assessment and have a consultation with one of our healthcare providers"
✓Metformin is offered from $69.98, which is a legitimate lower-cost option for some patients rather than an upsell
✓A wider catalogue including B-12, lipotropic injections and peptides for people who want them
✓Prices for every product line are published on the collection pages rather than gated behind signup

Cons

✗The medication is compounded and not FDA-approved
✗"Tested in FDA approved labs" is a phrase that does not mean anything specific. The FDA does not approve labs in this sense, and the claim implies a regulatory blessing the product does not have
✗"As low as $118" is a floor price with no dose ladder published, so it is unclear what happens to the price as you titrate
✗Adding B12 to a compounded GLP-1 is a common way to make a product "personalised" enough to justify compounding it. There is no evidence B12 improves weight-loss outcomes
✗No phone number, support email or business address is published
✗No refund, cancellation, HSA/FSA or insurance information is published
✗No pharmacy is named
✗No states-served list
