0 of the 8 programs below list semaglutide for less than Hello Alpha's $79 a month. 0 of the 8 list tirzepatide for less than its $79 a month.

Hello Alpha is a well-established women's telehealth brand that also genuinely prescribes FDA-approved branded GLP-1s (Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, Zepbound, and orforglipron/Foundayo) rather than compounded versions.

Best for: Women who are already Hello Alpha patients, or plan to be, and want brand-name GLP-1 prescribing on the same platform.

What Hello Alpha does well

  • Only prescribes FDA-approved branded GLP-1s (no compounding risk/variability)
  • Established, well-known women's telehealth brand with a named Chief Medical Officer (Dr. Loni Belyea)
  • Broad medication menu includes newer options like oral orforglipron (Foundayo)
  • LegitScript badge displayed

Why readers look for an alternative

  • The $79/mo on the weight-loss page is the Plus+ membership fee, not the drug price, and the $29 Basic membership does not cover weight loss
  • Site explicitly states a prescription is not guaranteed by membership
  • No compounded/lower-cost generic-equivalent option for patients without insurance coverage
  • No state list: weight-loss care is offered to adults 18 and over 'subject to state law'
  • Medicare, Medicaid and other government plans cannot be used for any prescription it writes, so those patients pay cash for the drug
