Nurx
50/100Where the value is
- Backed by Thirty Madison, an established telehealth parent company that also runs Keeps and Cove
- Prescribes genuinely FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro, Saxenda, Victoza) rather than a compounded substitute
- Names two Medical Directors on its team page (Dr. Peter Young, Dr. Neil Zlatniski)
The tradeoffs
- Sells NO compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide at any price — a prior dataset's '$179/mo compounded' figure does not describe any product actually on this site
- Nurx's own advertised medication prices ($1,000-$1,300/mo) are Nurx's estimate of what the PHARMACY will charge, not a price Nurx guarantees or collects — actual cost varies by pharmacy and insurance
WePeptideRx
50/100Where the value is
- Full dose-by-dose price ladder published with no signup required — 5 tiers for semaglutide, 6 for tirzepatide, each with exact mg dose and matching monthly cost
- Genuinely all-in pricing — consultation, medication, and shipping in one number, no separate visit fee
- Named Medical Director, Hridyesh Nat, MD — a real correction to the current record, which lists this as undisclosed
The tradeoffs
- The lowest advertised monthly rate ($166-176 effective) is NOT the month-to-month price — it requires prepaying a 3-month, $499-529 lump sum
- Pharmacy partner is not named on the pricing page
