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
Wellorithm
72/100Where the value is
- Brand-name prices are on the product pages before any quiz: Wegovy $899, Ozempic and Zepbound $1,199, Mounjaro $1,399 a month
- Sells brand-name pens, compounded semaglutide injections and oral dissolving GLP-1 tablets under one account
- Names three of its partner physicians on the product pages
The tradeoffs
- Compounded semaglutide and the oral tablets have no published price; you see it only after the quiz
- The fine print under each brand price says it applies to a 3-month plan paid upfront, while the same page says 'per month', so confirm the billing before you pay
