Recovery Delivered
72/100Where the value is
- Every dose tier's price is published month-by-month rather than hidden behind a single 'starting at' figure
- Visit, medication, injection kit and delivery are stated as bundled into each tier, with no itemized add-ons
- Oral (drops/tablets) alternative offered alongside injectable, starting at $249/month
The tradeoffs
- The $219.99/$199.99 headline figures are STARTING-dose prices only — the site's own tiers show cost rising to $299.99/month by month 5 as the dose increases, so the true steady-state cost for most patients is meaningfully higher than the headline
- Explicitly unavailable in at least 19 states including California, Illinois, and Michigan — not a 50-state provider
Liv Body
72/100Where the value is
- Semaglutide starts at $99 and tirzepatide at $149 a month, with no membership fee and free expedited shipping
- No long-term contract and no cancellation fee; you cancel from the patient portal
- Names its four dispensing pharmacies, with addresses and phone numbers, and says OpenLoop Health clinicians make the prescribing decision
The tradeoffs
- Both prices are "starting at" figures, and the page says the actual price depends on the product and plan prescribed, so confirm your dose's price before you pay
- No list of the states it serves
