Novi
69/100Where the value is
- Lowest advertised entry price in this entire batch for both drugs ($99 semaglutide / $133 tirzepatide)
- LegitScript certified, independently verifiable via the linked legitscript.com record
- States one flat price per dose with no separate visit fee and free shipping
The tradeoffs
- No published mg dose, supply duration, state-coverage list, named medical director, or named compounding pharmacy anywhere on the site or its help center — the least transparent operational disclosure of any company researched in this batch
- The advertised $99/$133 rate is displayed against a live countdown timer ('price increases in...') next to a claimed $299 original price, a scarcity tactic that makes it unclear whether this is a genuine standing rate or a recurring promotional one
Prime Doctor RX
69/100Where the value is
- The full ladder for all three weight-loss products and for TRT sits on the homepage before any intake
- Every card's footnote says the starting price is the 52-week prepay, in full
- The four-week shipping cycle is disclosed in that same footnote rather than left to a bank statement
The tradeoffs
- Its own arithmetic proves the 28-day cycle — $3,497 divided by thirteen is exactly $269, and nothing on the page divides cleanly by calendar months
- A year of month-to-month tirzepatide therefore costs $4,407 rather than the $4,068 per-month pricing implies
