Found
88/100Where the value is
- Lowest cost-per-month on the board — identical $129 on both molecules
- Nationwide
- Strong behavior-change program adds value
The tradeoffs
- Coaching subscription can't be unbundled, which reduces contract flexibility
- Compounded only
TrueMe
67/100Where the value is
- One price covers consultation, medication, shipping, supplies and provider support, and the site states there are no separate membership fees
- Same price at every dose, so the cost does not climb as a provider titrates the dose upward
- Full pricing is published up front — no intake form is required before you can see what you will pay
The tradeoffs
- Serves only six states (AZ, CO, MO, PA, TX, WI), far narrower coverage than most national GLP-1 telehealth
- Prices marketed per month are charged every 4 weeks at checkout — 13 charges a year, not 12
