Shape Vantage
52/100Where the value is
- Low all-in sticker price: $399 flat for a full 3-month tirzepatide program, with no separate monthly billing
- Simple single-price structure with no dose-tier hedging or 'starting at' language
- At least one verifiable legal anchor: Terms page confirms the entity name and California governing law
The tradeoffs
- No physician, nurse practitioner, medical director, or individually named prescriber is disclosed anywhere on the site — every informational sub-page (about, how-it-works, FAQ, refund policy) 404s
- No compounding pharmacy is named, and the site never uses the words 'compounded,' 'prescription,' or 'pharmacy' — marketing language ('formulation kit,' 'product') reads closer to a supplement than a physician-prescribed medication
Loozy
52/100Where the value is
- Names both its medical group, Elite Care Health, and its dispensing pharmacy, Rx Ave Health, with contact details for each
- The membership covers the provider review, dose titration, unlimited messaging and a week-12 check-in, with medication shipped from a U.S. pharmacy
- If you cancel before a provider has reviewed your intake, you get a full refund
The tradeoffs
- The only public price is semaglutide "starting" at $199 a month, billed as a three-month plan; the tirzepatide price appears only inside the intake
- Membership fees become non-refundable once your intake is submitted for review, and canceling keeps access only through the end of the paid three months
