Wellorithm
72/100Where the value is
- Brand-name prices are on the product pages before any quiz: Wegovy $899, Ozempic and Zepbound $1,199, Mounjaro $1,399 a month
- Sells brand-name pens, compounded semaglutide injections and oral dissolving GLP-1 tablets under one account
- Names three of its partner physicians on the product pages
The tradeoffs
- Compounded semaglutide and the oral tablets have no published price; you see it only after the quiz
- The fine print under each brand price says it applies to a 3-month plan paid upfront, while the same page says 'per month', so confirm the billing before you pay
