OurView Health
62/100Where the value is
- Low starting prices via the Savings Club — compounded semaglutide from $75, tirzepatide from $135
- Clear product pricing with no contracts; medication shipped to your door (30-day supply)
- Full legal suite published (Terms, Privacy, HIPAA Notice, Returns & Refunds)
The tradeoffs
- A comparison table on the site quotes $90 'without membership' against $75 'with membership' while the product cards say 'No membership' and the cart charges $75 without one — the provider contradicts itself on whether a membership exists
- Both figures are starting-dose rates; the cost of a titrated dose is published as a ladder rather than a single price
Somi Health
62/100Where the value is
- Offers an oral semaglutide tablet option in addition to injections, a differentiator versus most peers
- Displays a LegitScript 'Approved' seal
- Discloses it uses 503A state-licensed pharmacies (category-level transparency)
The tradeoffs
- 'Starting at' injection prices are 3-month prepay rates, not real monthly cash prices
- The correct domain (joinsomi.com) is easy to confuse with the abandoned somihealth.com, a parked/for-sale domain
