SexyMD
68/100Where the value is
- Publishes a full four-rung price table for each molecule on its product pages, before any intake
- States both pharmacy classes it uses and discloses that a prescription may be routed to, and transferred between, any pharmacy in that network
- Names the professional entities its prescribers work through, rather than referring only to licensed providers
The tradeoffs
- Every headline on the site quotes the 48-week rate: "from $199 per month" against a four-week price of $269, and "from $299" against $369, with an asterisk that resolves to no footnote
- The same footer block says both "available in all 50 states" and "available in all states except Arkansas, Mississippi, and New Jersey", on all eleven pages
Factor Health MD
67/100Where the value is
- Every plan includes ALL doses at one flat rate with no per-mg escalation, confirmed explicitly in its own FAQ
- LegitScript certified (badge displayed in the site footer)
- Genuinely no long-term contract required for the flexible monthly tier, per its own FAQ
The tradeoffs
- The widely advertised 'From $99/mo' headline (used in the site's own page title) only applies to the 12-month prepaid Annual plan — the real no-commitment month-to-month price is $189/mo for semaglutide and $289/mo for tirzepatide, 91-94% higher
- No compounding pharmacy is individually named, only a generic 'network of licensed, FDA-regulated pharmacies'
