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
Vytora Health
76/100Where the value is
- Semaglutide pricing is genuinely flat across all doses, not a 'starting at' floor
- 50 states plus DC covered, with per-state video-vs-audio requirements disclosed rather than hidden
- Both compounded and retail brand-name (Mounjaro, Zepbound) options on one platform
The tradeoffs
- The site's own FAQ and pricing page disagree on the 1-month tirzepatide price ($199 vs $249) — get the number confirmed at checkout before assuming either figure
- Brand-name Mounjaro/Zepbound at $1,399/mo is essentially full retail
