Medro
60/100Where the value is
- Live pricing tiers for both semaglutide and tirzepatide are transparent and fully disclosed (month-to-month through 12-month) without needing to enter the intake flow
- LegitScript-certified (seal #50716646, verified against legitscript.com) and available in all 50 states
- Named clinical partner (Arora Health & Aesthetics, LLC — Dr. Sean Arora, NPI 1841729449, Seattle, WA) and named compounding pharmacy (The Pharmacy Hub, Miami, FL) — both real, both verifiable, though neither is surfaced in the site's marketing copy
The tradeoffs
- The lowest advertised rate ($149 semaglutide / $224 tirzepatide) requires a full 12-month prepaid commitment; the no-commitment month-to-month rate is 33% higher ($199/$299)
- No mg dose is disclosed for any pricing tier — the plans are priced by commitment length only, so it's unclear what dose a given monthly price actually delivers
YourHealthRx
60/100Where the value is
- Available in all 50 states and DC through a multi-state (IMLC) licensed clinician network
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in two formats - weekly injectable (with B12) or daily oral dissolving tablet
- Flat subscription price that doesn't change as your dose increases (no titration penalty)
The tradeoffs
- Eligibility and prescribing run through partner clinical workflows - YourHealthRx is the platform, not the prescriber or pharmacy
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved - not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
