LunaRx
63/100Where the value is
- Advertises simple, flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees
- '$0 if not approved' removes financial risk from a declined consult
- Founder is publicly named (Anamaria Galvan, RN) rather than fully anonymous leadership
The tradeoffs
- No named physician medical director -- only an RN founder is identified
- No named compounding pharmacy partner
Hone Health
63/100Where the value is
- Every plan starts with a 50-plus biomarker lab panel and a live video consultation with a licensed physician
- Medication prices are listed on the weight-loss page: compounded liraglutide at $160 a month, with naltrexone, bupropion, phentermine and topiramate at $60 to $65
- Memberships carry no commitment and can be canceled at any time
The tradeoffs
- It doesn't offer semaglutide or tirzepatide; its only GLP-1 is compounded liraglutide, a daily injection
- The $160 liraglutide price comes on top of a membership: $25 a month for Basic or $155 a month for Premium, which includes full access to medications
