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
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
