PCOS Sisters
52/100Where the value is
- Dedicated PCOS specialty model with a metabolic weight-loss program and fitness app bundled into the membership
- Two named pharmacy partners with full addresses published (Strive Pharmacy, Gilbert AZ; Striker Pharmacy, Katy TX)
- LegitScript and BBB verification badges both present on-site
The tradeoffs
- The advertised $150/month does NOT include the GLP-1 medication itself — the site's own FAQ confirms medication is billed separately by the pharmacy, so the real all-in cost is higher and undisclosed
- Only 11 states served (not 12), with no public timeline for expansion beyond 'working to expand our coverage'
Bloom MD
51/100Where the value is
- Rare in this batch: publishes exact dollar pricing for every dose tier, pre-signup
- No hidden membership fee on compounded products -- price shown is the full price
- Offers both compounded AND branded (Wegovy/Zepbound) pathways
The tradeoffs
- No individual medical director named -- only a contracted provider group (MDI Medical Group PC)
- No compounding pharmacy named
