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 '$145/mo' GLP-1 price is not broken out by drug or dose -- classic vague 'starting at' framing
- No compounding pharmacy partner named anywhere on the site
ReadyRx
62/100Where the value is
- States 'No membership or hidden fees! Everything you need is included' on its landing page
- Every plan bundles 'Free shipping & unlimited physician messaging' and 'Personalized protocols, meal plans & coaching' per its own treatment-page copy
- Offers both compounded GLP-1s and a path to FDA-approved brand-name alternatives (Ozempic, Zepbound) through the same funnel
The tradeoffs
- Real per-drug, per-dose pricing is not published anywhere on the public site — the dedicated semaglutide and tirzepatide pages show literal '$XXX' placeholder text instead of numbers
- The only real number found, '$159,' is an unattributed general 'starting' price, not confirmed to apply specifically to semaglutide or specifically to tirzepatide
