What Hello Alpha does well

- Broad medication menu includes newer options like oral orforglipron (Foundayo)

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
