Remi Meds vs Gaya Wellness
Two GLP-1 programs on the bench, scored on the same six factors. Here's how their real cost of ownership compares — and which one we'd start with.
Remi Meds
Shoppers who want to see the exact price at every dose tier before booking, with no auto-billing.
Visit Remi MedsGaya Wellness
Cost-first shoppers who want women 40+ wanting GLP-1 weight loss integrated with menopause/HRT care from an OB/GYN-led practice.
Visit Gaya WellnessThe verdict
Remi Meds takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 52 to 51. Remi Meds is a GLP-1 telehealth marketing platform that itself provides no medical or pharmacy services — prescriptions come through partner Beluga Health and medication is dispensed by Strive Pharmacy (Gilbert, AZ). Gaya Wellness still earns a C — Cost-first shoppers who want women 40+ wanting GLP-1 weight loss integrated with menopause/HRT care from an OB/GYN-led practice.
Worth knowing either way: our overall #1 pick is CoreAge Rx (Cost-Efficiency Index 94/100 — the top of the ranking). See how it stacks up: CoreAge Rx vs Remi Meds.

Remi Meds
52/100Where the value is
- Full weekly-dose-to-price ladder is published for both drugs, not just a 'starting at' figure
- Free shipping stated on the same page as the pricing table, not hidden in fine print
- Confirms it will not auto-charge: 'You will not be charged monthly unless you process your payment'
The tradeoffs
- Remi Meds explicitly discloses it 'does not directly provide medical or pharmacy services' — you are being routed to a third-party network (Beluga Health), not treated by Remi Meds itself
- No medical director is named anywhere on the site reached
Gaya Wellness
51/100Where the value is
- Named, credentialed medical founder (board-certified OB/GYN) rather than an anonymous clinical team
- Transparent tiered pricing that discloses both the discounted and full month-to-month rate on the same page
- GLP-1 bundled with hormone/menopause care in one program for women 40+
The tradeoffs
- Licensed in only 5 states (FL, NC, VA, IN, TN), sharply limiting who can actually sign up
- Lowest advertised price requires a quarterly upfront commitment, not simple month-to-month
