9amHealth
44/100Where the value is
- Confirmed genuine direct-to-individual GLP-1 weight-loss prescribing (Wegovy, Zepbound), not just diabetes management
- Publishes its own outcomes data rather than only marketing copy: 17.6% weight loss with GLP-1s vs 9.3% without over 12 months
- Named clinical team (Dr. Reilly, Dr. Goodwin, Dr. Mansour, Dr. Waring) plus pharmacists and a dietitian on staff
The tradeoffs
- No membership or medication price is published anywhere on the accessible public pages, and both a /pricing and a /weight-loss URL 404'd
- States served are not listed on any accessible page
Ilant Health
44/100Where the value is

The tradeoffs

- No published price for semaglutide or tirzepatide at all
