Clume Health
73/100Where the value is
- Names all four dispensing pharmacies with street addresses, phone numbers and websites, so a buyer can look up who actually compounds the prescription
- The price is published before the intake and covers the consultation, ongoing oversight, the medication and delivery
- One figure covers semaglutide, tirzepatide, oral and injectable, so switching molecule or route does not change the bill
The tradeoffs
- Both headline prices on the homepage match nothing on sale: "*$199/month" against real floors of $259 and $219, and "*$159/month" against $216 — and neither asterisk resolves to a footnote
- The cheaper monthly figures are commitments rather than rates: $186 a month requires a 52-week plan and $200 a month a 12-week one
Freeley
73/100Where the value is
- The full plan ladder for semaglutide is printed on the weight-loss page before any quiz: $299 for one month, $259 on 3 months, $229 on 6, $199 on 12 and $179 on 24
- The monthly price is flat at every dose, and it includes the physician consultation, the medication and shipping with no membership fee
- Names Strive Pharmacy, a 503A compounding pharmacy, as its dispensing partner and lists the pharmacy's contact details
The tradeoffs
- The homepage and pricing page lead with $199 and $179 a month, which are 12- and 24-month plan rates; month to month costs $299 for semaglutide and $399 for tirzepatide
- The pricing page says its $179 figure is on the 24-month plan while the footnote beside it says the 12-month plan, so check which plan you are being quoted at checkout
