Medications

ethinyl estradiolnorethindrone acetatelevonorgestreldoxycyclineeflornithineboric acid

Pros

✓This is not a compounded-medication business. Wisp prescribes FDA-approved generics, so you get medicines that have been reviewed for safety, efficacy and quality - a genuine difference from most telehealth brands we cover
✓Prices are low and published: most generic birth control pills from $15/month, the patch from $12, the vaginal ring from $22, levonorgestrel (generic Plan B) from $12.50, DoxyPEP from $22 and boric acid suppositories at $27 (checked July 28, 2026)
✓The provider consult fee is included in the product price rather than charged separately
✓You can have prescriptions sent to a local pharmacy for same-day pickup and apply your insurance there, or take free delivery to all 50 states. Very few telehealth brands let you use insurance at all
✓Wisp also issues a GoodRx discount card for lower out-of-pocket pharmacy costs, which works against its own delivery revenue
✓The formulary page lists the brand-name equivalent for every generic - Cyred EQ alongside Desogen, Apri and Reclipsen, for instance - so you can verify what you are getting
✓Roughly 11,000 Trustpilot reviews with 99% of negative ones answered, usually within a day
✓Broad, genuinely useful catalogue: BV, yeast infection, UTI, herpes, chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, at-home STI testing, birth control, emergency contraception, menopause, PCOS, fertility and migraine
✓DoxyPEP is offered for post-exposure bacterial STI prevention, which reflects current CDC guidance rather than a novelty product
✓Menopause care is a flat $99 online consult covering estrogen and progesterone hormone replacement, with the price stated up front
✓FSA and HSA accepted across most of the range, and orders are processed within 24 hours including weekends

Cons

✗A 4.0 Trustpilot average is the lowest of the well-reviewed brands we cover. Across 11,000 reviews that reflects a real spread of experiences rather than a small-sample fluke
✗Every price is a 'starting at' figure, so the final cost depends on the specific product and supply length you are prescribed
✗The claim that levonorgestrel is '60% cheaper at Wisp than when buying PLAN B at the pharmacy' is not sourced to any price survey or date
✗'Our Doors Are Always Open' sits alongside stated support hours of 9:30am-6:30pm EST Monday to Friday, so the messaging oversells availability
✗Boric acid suppositories are sold for vaginal health but are not FDA-approved for that use, and the evidence base is thinner than for the prescription products alongside them
✗The '1.8 million people' figure is the company's own with no independent verification
✗Hormonal contraception is not suitable for everyone - smokers over 35 and people with a history of blood clots, stroke, certain migraines with aura or oestrogen-sensitive cancers need a clinician's assessment before starting
✗Because prescriptions can be routed to a retail pharmacy, your final cost there may differ from the price shown on the Wisp site

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓The compounding explanation is genuinely educational, citing USP 795 and USP 797 and identifying the pharmacy as a 503A facility rather than hand-waving about 'FDA-registered' status
✓Trustpilot rating of 4.6 from 12,750 reviews, a large and credible independent sample
✓The FAQ states flat monthly prices with no membership layered on: $297/month for semaglutide and $399/month for tirzepatide (checked July 27, 2026)
✓That price is stated to include the medication, doctor visits normally billed at $99 each, next-day FedEx or UPS shipping, and all injection supplies
✓Same price at every dose, so titrating up does not increase the bill
✓A full refund is given if your prescription is not approved
✓A published customer phone number, 888-696-7176, which most competitors do not offer
✓This offer is restricted in only one state, Arkansas

Cons

✗The headline price and the real price do not match. The landing page leads with 'Starting at $147' while the FAQ on the same site states 'For Semaglutide we charge $297/month. For Tirzepatide we charge $399/month' - roughly double
✗Discounts are advertised in three different sizes on one page: '$150 Off Today', 'Up to $200 OFF' and 'Get $150 OFF your prescription instantly', with no terms attached to any of them
✗The 'patient satisfaction guarantee' is undefined - 'If you are unhappy with your results, let us know and we'll make it right' commits to nothing specific
✗The landing page uses the same template as several other compounded GLP-1 funnels, down to the identical headline 'The proven way to lose 15% of your body weight fast!'
✗'We've been featured all over' appears with no named publications or links
✗The '15% of your body weight' figure comes from trials of the branded drugs, not from Direct Meds' compounded product or its own patients
✗No BBB profile could be found to set against the Trustpilot score
✗Support hours are not published, only the phone number and an email address
