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
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
