boostAGErx
69/100Where the value is
- Compounded GLP-1 starting around $95/mo (12-month plan paid upfront)
- Free shipping and clinical evaluation included
- Membership fee refunded in full if you're not approved
The tradeoffs
- Billing runs on a 28-day cycle rather than a calendar month — thirteen charges a year, so the $145 tirzepatide rate is $1,885 a year, an effective $157/mo
- The terms call the charge a 'membership fee' while the marketing carousel says 'No Membership Fees Ever'
eMI Aesthetics
69/100Where the value is
- Available to eligible patients in all 50 U.S. states per the site's own GLP-1 program page
- Offers semaglutide in both injectable and oral form, plus tirzepatide, on one platform
- Full program cost is bundled — evaluation, medication, delivery, coaching, and follow-up with no separate fees itemized
The tradeoffs
- The advertised '$179/month' is the FLOOR of a $179-$249 range for the injection alone; oral semaglutide runs $209-$279 and tirzepatide $269-$339 — the actual price a patient pays isn't disclosed before intake
- No specific dispensing pharmacy is named
