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
Recovery Delivered
72/100Where the value is
- Every dose tier's price is published month-by-month rather than hidden behind a single 'starting at' figure
- Visit, medication, injection kit, and delivery are stated as bundled into each tier with no itemized add-ons found
- Oral (drops/tablets) alternative offered alongside injectable, starting at $249/month
The tradeoffs
- The $219.99/$199.99 headline figures are STARTING-dose prices only — the site's own tiers show cost rising to $299.99/month by month 5 as the dose increases, so the true steady-state cost for most patients is meaningfully higher than the headline
- Explicitly unavailable in at least 19 states including California, Illinois, and Michigan — not a 50-state provider
