Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Trustpilot rating of 4.8 across 5,272 reviews, an unusually strong independent signal for this category
✓Publishes a customer phone number, +1 (888) 979-9580, and a support email rather than hiding behind a portal
✓Full refund available any time before a licensed provider completes your prescription
✓Compounded injectable semaglutide from $199/month and tirzepatide, as tablets or injection, from $299/month, with microdose options (checked July 26, 2026)
✓Carefully separates compounded from brand-name in its own disclosures instead of implying the two are the same
✓Buy-now-pay-later through Affirm with the APR disclosed openly - the site gives a worked example of $800 split into 12 payments of $72.21 at 15% APR
✓A mobile app for meal plans, medication tracking and weight logging, plus unlimited provider messaging and free shipping
✓A substantial clinical content library covering practical issues like GLP-1s with levothyroxine, gallbladder pain and surgery timing

Cons

✗A '90-day money-back guarantee' is advertised in a banner on every page, but the site's own /money-back-guarantee link returns a 404 reading 'Page not found... Probably the link is broken'. We could not find the terms of that guarantee anywhere
✗The hero promises 'FDA-approved Wegovy, Foundayo and other GLP-1s', yet both the Wegovy Pill and Foundayo Pill are marked 'Unavailable' in the product list directly below
✗Pricing is at the higher end for compounded product: $199/month for semaglutide and $299/month for tirzepatide, where several rivals advertise under $150
✗'Lose up to 14.9% of your body weight' takes the figure from the STEP 1 trial of branded semaglutide and applies it to a compounded preparation that has not been trialled
✗The published refund window closes as soon as a provider completes your prescription, which can be the same day you sign up
✗A pop-up offers 'up to 43% off' without stating what plan or commitment unlocks that discount
✗No BBB profile or complaint history to cross-check the Trustpilot score against
✗No published support hours, so the phone line's availability is unknown

Medications

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
