Neo Soma Healthcare
58/100Where the value is
- LegitScript verification badge present on the homepage
- Publishes the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer clearly
- Unusually transparent about the semaglutide step-up — the site itself states '$99 for your first month, $199/month thereafter' rather than burying it
The tradeoffs
- The $99 semaglutide headline is a one-time first-month price; $199/month is the real ongoing cost
- Tirzepatide's $330 'Initial Purchase' has no disclosed reorder/thereafter price anywhere on the site — unclear if it recurs at $330 or steps up like semaglutide does
Tuyo Health
57/100Where the value is
- Quarterly lab work is explicitly bundled into the compounded-track price, unlike sites that omit lab monitoring entirely
- Offers both compounded and branded (insurance-eligible) tracks on the same platform
- LegitScript certified
The tradeoffs
- Both headline prices are explicit 'as low as' floors with no dose-tier table published — the real cost for a titrated-up dose is unknown from the site
- No compounding pharmacy or individual prescriber/medical director named anywhere on the page
