Mint Medical Clinic
55/100Where the value is
- Real, unhidden starting price published directly on the homepage — '$299/mo' with 'Medical supervision included,' no intake needed to see it
- Physical clinic locations (Sandy and Layton, UT) mean an actual in-person medical relationship is possible, unlike every purely virtual competitor in this batch
- Free consultation offer bundles a complimentary blood-flow ultrasound (stated value ~$650)
The tradeoffs
- Unlike its own 'Telehealth ED Visits' service (explicitly virtual, ships prescriptions), the GLP-1 weight-loss listing carries no telehealth or shipping language — a shopper assuming nationwide telehealth access is very likely wrong
- $299/mo is not split between semaglutide and tirzepatide, and no dose amount or supply duration is published
SkyRx
55/100Where the value is
- Simple, single headline price displayed on the weight-loss page
- Claims LegitScript certification
- Straightforward telehealth intake flow
The tradeoffs
- The '$199/mo' price is a 12-month prepay rate, not a cancel-anytime monthly price -- a major disclosure trap
- Tirzepatide not yet available ('coming soon'), so half the category is unpriced
