ElitePhysiqMD
62/100Where the value is
- Named, credentialed medical director (25+ years, board-certified internist)
- LegitScript certified
- Nationwide coverage (all 50 states)
The tradeoffs
- Advertised '$145/mo' GLP-1 price is not broken out by drug or dose -- classic vague 'starting at' framing
- No compounding pharmacy partner named anywhere on the site
OnlineSemaglutide.org
62/100Where the value is
- Flat 'all doses, one price' model — no upcharge as the patient titrates to a higher dose
- Four named 503A compounding pharmacies rather than one anonymous partner
- Provider consultation, dose adjustments, and free overnight shipping stated as bundled with no itemized add-ons found
The tradeoffs
- The lowest advertised per-month figures ($150 semaglutide / $241 tirzepatide) require a $900-$1,450 lump-sum 6-month prepayment — the real month-to-month price without any prepay is $219 / $299, 46-24% higher than the commonly-cited low figure
- No named individual prescriber or medical director found
