Mondae
79/100Where the value is
- A low all-in figure on both molecules, with the medication, the injection supplies, unlimited clinician messaging and discreet shipping all inside it
- No membership fee and no consultation fee are charged on top of the medication price
- The three-month rate for each molecule is shown by a control on the same page, so the commitment and the monthly rate can be compared directly
The tradeoffs
- "From $75/mo" and "From $124/mo" on the homepage are the three-month prepay rates; the month-to-month rates are $87 and $126
- Billing is every 28 days rather than monthly, so a year costs 13 charges rather than 12
PreventiveMD
77/100Where the value is
- Compounded semaglutide from $83/mo and tirzepatide from $97/mo, billed as one all-in monthly price
- Brand Wegovy, Zepbound, and Foundayo (oral GLP-1) available on the same platform
- US-licensed provider reviews requests within 24 hours — no video visit required
The tradeoffs
- Both figures are 'as low as' rates and the qualifying term is not published anywhere — the checkout is gated, so whether $97 is month-to-month or a multi-month prepay cannot be established before signing up
- Brand-name routes are priced separately and do carry a fee: $49/mo membership plus medication from $149/mo for Foundayo and Wegovy, from $299/mo for Zepbound
