Fresh Day Meds
70/100Where the value is
- No membership fees and free expedited shipping stated on-site
- LegitScript seal displayed
- Transparent quarterly-renewal totals shown next to the monthly-equivalent price, so the prepay isn't hidden
The tradeoffs
- The 'from $99/mo' headline is a new-patient-only, low-dose, 3-month-prepay price ($299 upfront) — the flat month-to-month rate is $140/mo
- No named compounding pharmacy or medical director/prescriber disclosed
Andrew Meds
70/100Where the value is
- Full month-to-month and prepay ladders for both molecules are printed on the product pages, before any intake
- States which pharmacy class fills a prescription — "a 503(A) compounding pharmacy or 503(B) outsourcing facility" — which most sellers at this price leave unsaid
- Names the prescribing practice, with a street address and a direct phone line, in the footer of every page
The tradeoffs
- Three live semaglutide prices disagree: $199 a month on the product page, $99 a month in the intake that page links to, and $149 for a four-week supply in a second funnel
- The tirzepatide page's own funnel offers only semaglutide, so the $299 tirzepatide price cannot be bought through the route the page provides
