Heally
72/100Where the value is
- No membership or subscription — pay only when you order, with flexible refills
- Broad GLP-1 menu: compounded semaglutide/tirzepatide plus a brand-Wegovy self-pay route
- LegitScript verified; care delivered by a named medical entity, HLY Medical Group PA
The tradeoffs
- No compounding pharmacy is named on either drug's page
- No per-dose price ladder published — only a single 'starting at' figure before consultation
Goldspan Health
71/100Where the value is
- Prices ten separate GLP-1 products openly — injection and sublingual, standard and low dose, with a B12 or a glycine base — before any account
- Each plan card itemizes what the figure buys: the clinician evaluation, the medication, injection supplies, two-day shipping and clinical-team access
- States the billing cycle honestly on the plan card and the order timeline as 28 days and four weeks
The tradeoffs
- The hero prints "/month" over a plan billed every 28 days, which is 13 charges a year rather than 12
- "Pause, delay, or cancel at any time" sits against a refund policy reading "all sales are final" and storefront terms saying an order cannot be canceled once placed
