Avono Health
49/100Where the value is
- Offers a genuinely rare oral-capsule semaglutide format, not just injectable
- Transparent that pricing is a 3-month bundle rather than hiding the prepay structure
- US-nationwide clinician network claimed
The tradeoffs
- 'Saves $X vs. monthly' claims can't be verified since the standalone monthly price is never disclosed
- No tirzepatide offering at all -- semaglutide only
Regenics
49/100Where the value is
- Hybrid model — a real in-person option near Tarzana, CA plus telehealth, with a published phone number and stated business hours
- The $39/month subscription fee itself is disclosed plainly on the public site with no signup required to see it
- Broad menu beyond GLP-1 (TRT, blood panels, IV infusion, aesthetics) for patients who want one clinic relationship
The tradeoffs
- The one price shown, $39/month, is NOT the GLP-1 medication cost — it's an access subscription; the drug is billed separately through the pharmacy and that price is never published
- No pharmacy partner (503A/503B) is named
