DudeMeds
61/100Where the value is
- Plan prices are shown on its order pages before any questionnaire, including the total you'll be billed
- No membership or doctor fee, and shipping is free; follow-up consultations and dose adjustments are included
- Offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide plus brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound and Mounjaro, and a separate path for patients switching from another clinic
The tradeoffs
- No month-to-month plan is shown: semaglutide is a 4-month kit billed $716 and tirzepatide a 3-month kit billed $747, and the kits renew automatically
- Its consent terms say the first three months of medication are due and non-refundable even if you stop treatment
Docberry
61/100Where the value is
- Every GLP-1 bundle is priced on the weight-loss page before you book: semaglutide $796 for four months or $2,028 for twelve, tirzepatide $1,745 for three months
- Names its pharmacy, Olympia Pharmaceuticals, a registered 503B outsourcing facility and 503A pharmacy
- Starts with an online consultation with a doctor, followed by regular check-ins to adjust the plan
The tradeoffs
- There is no month-to-month option: the shortest semaglutide plan is a four-month prepay and the only tirzepatide plan is three months up front
- The "Starting at $169/mo" headline is the monthly average of the 12-month, $2,028 bundle
