OnlineSemaglutide.org
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
TOM Weight Loss
62/100Where the value is
- Named, credentialed prescriber (Dr. Tran Le, MD, DABOM, NPI 1194212258) rather than an anonymous provider pool
- Flat pricing regardless of dose within a plan — no upcharge as you titrate up to 2.4mg or 15mg/week
- A genuine Medicare-eligible copay path ($50/month) is published, unusual among compounded-GLP-1 telehealth sites
The tradeoffs
- Only available in Texas and Utah — not a national provider despite the polished, generic-looking site
- The site lists a separate 'à la carte' $100/mo price that is medication-only with the doctor visit billed apart — a naive read could mistake this for a $100 all-in equivalent to the $199 Basic plan
