Fidelity Medical Clinic
61/100Where the value is
- Full itemized pricing table published on-site for both semaglutide and tirzepatide, covering initial, step-up, and maintenance order tiers
- Flat pricing includes consultation and shipping with 'no hidden fees' at each tier
- Real physical Tampa, FL clinic (400 N Ashley Dr Ste 1900) alongside the telehealth program, not a telehealth-only shell
The tradeoffs
- The '$99 a month' and '$349 for a 2-Month Supply' headlines are one-time starter-order prices, not recurring rates — the real ongoing monthly cost is $199 (semaglutide) and $349 (tirzepatide)
- No state-coverage list published anywhere on the site; whether telehealth reaches all 50 states or only a handful beyond Florida is unverifiable from the live pages
NuDay Rx
61/100Where the value is
- Named compounding pharmacy (Belmar Pharmacy) and named prescriber network (Beluga Health) — both independently verifiable
- LegitScript verification badge displayed on-site
- Both injectable and oral-tablet forms available for semaglutide and tirzepatide, plus a full brand-name menu on the same account
The tradeoffs
- Compounded semaglutide ($249) and tirzepatide ($329) are priced above several budget competitors in this comparison set
- Oral tirzepatide tablets ($399/mo) cost more than the injectable compound form ($329/mo) — a naive assumption that oral is cheaper or equivalent would be wrong here
