SkinnyRx
71/100Where the value is
- A complete four-term ladder for both molecules is published rather than gated, so the cost of not committing is knowable before signup
- Both compounded molecules are offered, with the same term structure on each
- The twelve-month rate is genuinely low for the category if a year is a commitment you were going to make anyway
The tradeoffs
- The '$199/month' it advertises everywhere is the TWELVE-MONTH rung. The rate you can stop after a month is $349 — 75% higher — and the figure appears without that term attached
- An FDA warning letter is on public record against Lean Rx, Inc. dba SkinnyRx, issued 20 February 2026. We disclose it and we do not treat it as disqualifying
Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Lean Rx, Inc. dba SkinnyRx in February 2026. We still list and link to SkinnyRx; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
Ozari Health
73/100Where the value is
- Very low entry pricing — compounded semaglutide from $86/month
- LegitScript certified and operated by a named entity (Ozari LLC)
- Board-certified physicians; meds compounded in 503A and 503B facilities
The tradeoffs
- The advertised rates are three-month starter plans for first-time GLP-1 users, billed $257 and $375 up front; month-to-month is $175 and $235
- Canceling an annual or semi-annual plan early re-prices the installments already shipped at the standard monthly rate and charges the difference
