Mixx Health & Wellness
68/100Where the value is
- Names its medical director (Dr. James David Lawrence III, MD) and its compounding pharmacy (Promise Pharmacy, Palm Harbor, FL), which most programs we track don't
- Free ($0) consultation and 'Unlimited Check-ins' with no extra charge stated
- Licensed in a genuinely large footprint — 44 states per the site's own count
The tradeoffs
- The only published price, 'Plans starting at $120/mo,' is not broken out by drug — there is no separate tirzepatide/GIP price anywhere on the site even though tirzepatide is clearly offered through the same pharmacy
- A $125 cancellation/prescription-change fee applies if requested within 24 hours of payment, and all payments are stated to be final with non-refundable prescriptions
MadeMed
68/100Where the value is
- One flat price at every dose, printed dose by dose on each product page
- Offers sublingual semaglutide tablets ($219 a month quarterly) and oral tirzepatide alongside the injections
- You can cancel or pause in one click from your dashboard, and it emails you 7 days before every charge
The tradeoffs
- There is no monthly plan; the shortest commitment is three months, billed up front
- Injectable semaglutide is offered in only 23 states, fewer than the 40 the service lists overall, so check your state on the product page
