What we like
- Flat, all-in monthly price with no intro-rate step-ups after month one
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account

The caveats

- No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
- Does not yet publicly name its 503A/B pharmacy partner
Lean Rx
What we like
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide offered
- Three formulations: injectable, sublingual, and tablet
- Upfront pricing with no hidden fees advertised
- Semaglutide starts at a low $266/month
- Telehealth call with a licensed provider before prescribing
The caveats

- No published state availability list
- Platform is technology only, not a healthcare provider itself
- Provider credentials not detailed on site
