- Single, findable headline price ($249/mo starting) visible without an account
- Explicit disclaimer distinguishing FDA-approved vs. compounded (non-FDA-approved) medications

- 'Starting At' framing with no clarification of whether $249 is promotional or standard
Helix Wellness Rx

- Says pricing is flat-rate with no consultation charge and no surcharge when your dose changes

The tradeoffs
- No price for any specific GLP-1 is published; the only figure is "plans from $149 a month" across all programs, confirmed after provider review
- Cancellations must be made at least 48 hours before the monthly processing date, and a prescription order can only be canceled within 24 hours of placing it
