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
Revel Health
69/100Where the value is
- All-in pricing confirmed on-site — consultation, medication, supplies, and shipping in one number, no add-on fees disclosed
- LegitScript verification seal is live and checkable for myrevelhealth.com
- Explicit, specific 45-state coverage list published rather than a vague claim
The tradeoffs
- The prominently displayed $99/$149 figures are first-month-only promotional prices — the standing rate from month two on is $199/$249, and the page's side-by-side display makes the promo easy to mistake for the ongoing price
- Not available in AK, AR, NC, NJ, or MS
