PreventiveMD
77/100Where the value is
- Compounded semaglutide from $83/mo and tirzepatide from $97/mo, billed as one all-in monthly price
- Brand Wegovy, Zepbound, and Foundayo (oral GLP-1) available on the same platform
- US-licensed provider reviews requests within 24 hours — no video visit required
The tradeoffs
- Both figures are 'as low as' rates and the qualifying term is not published anywhere — the checkout is gated, so whether $97 is month-to-month or a multi-month prepay cannot be established before signing up
- Brand-name routes are priced separately and do carry a fee: $49/mo membership plus medication from $149/mo for Foundayo and Wegovy, from $299/mo for Zepbound
EverSlim
76/100Where the value is
- Transparent flat pricing from 127 dollars a month for compounded semaglutide; medication, provider visit, and shipping included with no insurance.
- Names its pharmacy partners (EPIQ Scripts, Foothills, Emerald) and DrTelx medical group; LegitScript-approved and NABP-accredited.
- Available in all 50 states and DC, with asynchronous care in 44 states and live-visit access in the rest.
The tradeoffs
- No price tiers are published anywhere: /pricing is a 404, the footer pricing link is a same-page anchor, and the checkout is behind a login, so what a titrated dose costs is unknowable before signing up
- Cancellation requires at least 72 hours' notice before the next billing date, or the subscription renews for another cycle
