RX Bella
67/100Where the value is
- Four routes carry a figure on one page before any intake: microdose, oral, semaglutide injection and tirzepatide injection
- Nothing in the catalog is struck through — no invented "was" price and no expiring offer
- "$0 if you're not approved" is stated plainly and repeatedly
The tradeoffs
- The hero's "from $199/mo" is the microdose, not either injection
- Every figure is a floor with no dose ladder, and the eight-screen intake reaches an email gate without showing a price
DrMedHealth
66/100Where the value is
- Flat pricing regardless of dose -- no hidden dose-escalation cost
- Both injectable and oral forms offered for each drug
- LegitScript certified with nationwide (50 states + DC) coverage
The tradeoffs
- No single named medical director, just a list of prescribing providers
- Site is a JS-heavy SPA that renders nothing to basic fetchers, complicating independent verification
