Fitish
69/100Where the value is
- Price genuinely includes consult, medication, and shipping — confirmed in the product page's own text, not just marketing copy
- A real microdose tier exists at a meaningfully lower fixed price for both drugs
- Injectable and oral tablet formats both offered
The tradeoffs
- No stated minimum commitment or cancellation terms found on the product pages
- No named prescriber, medical director, or specific compounding pharmacy
Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to FITISH in June 2026. We still list and link to Fitish; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
Better U Care
69/100Where the value is
- Publishes both compounded and brand-name pricing side by side, letting shoppers compare directly
- Uniform compounded pricing across all doses, with supplies stated as included
- Publishes its actual list of 21 covered states rather than a vague 'most states' claim
The tradeoffs
- Available in 21 states, not nationwide
- It's unclear from the site whether the separately-listed $150 clinical consultation fee is included in or added on top of the $298/$397 compounded prices — needs re-verification
