62/100Where the value is
- Flat 'all doses, one price' model — no upcharge as the patient titrates to a higher dose
- Four named 503A compounding pharmacies rather than one anonymous partner
- Provider consultation, dose adjustments, and free overnight shipping stated as bundled with no itemized add-ons found
The tradeoffs
- The lowest advertised per-month figures ($150 semaglutide / $241 tirzepatide) require a $900-$1,450 lump-sum 6-month prepayment — the real month-to-month price without any prepay is $219 / $299, 46-24% higher than the commonly-cited low figure
- No named individual prescriber or medical director found
TideMedix
62/100Where the value is
- Repeated, prominent LegitScript certification claims
- Low advertised entry price ($99) for the first month
- Standard FDA compounding disclaimer present, suggesting legitimate compounded-drug awareness
The tradeoffs
- Headline $99 price is explicitly first-month-only; the ongoing monthly cost is never disclosed on the site
- No named medical director anywhere in the accessible content
