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

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Three plan lengths with the price published for each: compounded semaglutide at $215/month on the 6-month plan, $249/month on 3 months and $399/month with no commitment at all
✓Compounded tirzepatide priced the same way - $275, $299 and $499/month across the same three plan lengths
✓The no-commitment monthly option genuinely exists, so you are not forced into a multi-month prepayment to get started
✓Unlimited messaging with your own board-certified physician, rather than a ticket queue
✓In-house dietitians, fitness trainers and health coaches are included alongside the medication
✓The compounding disclosure is stated in capitals on the product page: compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved and the FDA does not evaluate compounded products for safety, effectiveness or quality
✓Medication ships from an accredited pharmacy in temperature-controlled packaging
✓Affirm financing at 0% APR is offered, quoted from $81/month on semaglutide and $103/month on tirzepatide
✓A published FAQ that covers the questions people actually need answered - states served, shipping, FSA/HSA, cancellation and refunds
✓Micro-dose and oral spray variants are offered for people who want them, and they are labelled as separate products rather than sold as the standard programme

Cons

✗The medication is compounded and therefore not FDA-approved or reviewed for safety, effectiveness or quality
✗The attractive per-month prices require locking in: $215 needs a 6-month commitment, and the true no-commitment rate is $399 - nearly double
✗The dispensing pharmacy is described only as "accredited" and is never named
✗No phone number is published; support runs through help@joinweightcare.com and secure messaging
✗Insurance is not billed - this is a cash-pay service
✗The tirzepatide programme is split across separate standard and high-dose products, so the price you researched may not be the one you end up on as you titrate
