Maves
76/100Where the value is
- LegitScript badge displayed on the site
- Publishes the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer
- Low advertised semaglutide entry price ($89-99/mo range)
The tradeoffs
- The homepage shows two different numbers for the same starting semaglutide tier ($89/month vs $99 first month), so confirm the ongoing price before you pay
- Tirzepatide is listed as an offering, but no tirzepatide price is published on the site
ReflexMD
75/100Where the value is
- Both prices are shown on the homepage before any quiz, and the site calls them flat-rate pricing
- The online consultation fee is included in the subscription, and shipping is free and overnight once the pharmacy ships
- Month to month with no long-term contract; 3- and 6-month plans are optional, with 15% off 3-month plans under a current promo code
The tradeoffs
- Outside California you must call to cancel, at least two days before the renewal date; California residents can also cancel by email
- Fees already paid are not refunded once the month is billed
