HealthOn
57/100Where the value is
- Both compounded semaglutide ($189/mo) and tirzepatide ($295/mo) are priced on their own dedicated product pages, not gated behind an intake
- Quarterly and 12-month prepay options are disclosed with real dollar savings ($549/quarter and $837/quarter respectively)
- Independent third-party batch testing for potency, sterility, pH, and endotoxins is disclosed as a stated policy
The tradeoffs
- The site's sitewide 'Starting at $155/mo*' nav banner is not specific to either medication and requires a 12-month prepay commitment to actually reach — a shopper skimming only the banner will underestimate the real starting cost by $34-140/mo
- No named prescriber, medical director, or specific compounding pharmacy anywhere on the pages checked
Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Healthon Inc. dba Healthon in September 2025. We still list and link to HealthOn; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
Tuyo Health
57/100Where the value is
- Quarterly lab work is explicitly bundled into the compounded-track price, unlike sites that omit lab monitoring entirely
- Offers both compounded and branded (insurance-eligible) tracks on the same platform
- LegitScript certified
The tradeoffs
- Both headline prices are explicit 'as low as' floors with no dose-tier table published — the real cost for a titrated-up dose is unknown from the site
- No compounding pharmacy or individual prescriber/medical director named anywhere on the page
Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Tuyo Health, Inc. dba Tuyo Health in September 2025. We still list and link to Tuyo Health; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
