FlyteHealth
44/100Where the value is
- Backed by named enterprise broker partners (Mercer, Aon, WTW, Gallagher)
- Publishes clinical outcome data (avg. 15% weight loss at 24 months)
- Combines GLP-1 and non-GLP-1 treatment pathways
The tradeoffs
- No direct-to-consumer signup or individual pricing -- access requires an employer sponsor
- No named medical director, pharmacy partner, or LegitScript badge found
FuturHealth
44/100Where the value is
- Advertised starting price of $99/month is one of the lowest headline figures in the category
- Bundles clinician guidance and a personalized nutrition plan into the membership rather than selling medication alone
- Weight-loss guarantee: refunds the initial program fee if you follow the program and see no weight loss
The tradeoffs
- The $99/month figure's scope is undisclosed — the site never states whether it includes the medication itself or is a platform fee with medication billed on top
- No dosing tiers or per-medication (semaglutide vs. tirzepatide vs. brand-name) pricing is published anywhere on the public site
