TeleClinic

Shoppers outside California, New Jersey and South Carolina who want a cheap first month and a rate that's locked as the dose goes up.

Reasons to consider it

  • Names its pharmacy (Rush Pharmacy, a 503A compounder) and its physician network (LocumTele)
  • Price-lock: the monthly rate stays the same as your dose increases, for as long as you're a member
  • Publishes a full list of the 47 states it serves

What to weigh up

  • The $79 and $149 headline prices cover only the first month; after that it's $199 and $299, or $139 and $219 a month for the first quarter if you pay quarterly
  • Not available in California, New Jersey or South Carolina
  • Refills renew automatically every 30 days until you cancel

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.

PreventiveMD

Cost-first shoppers who want compounded GLP-1s from $83/mo all-in, with brand upgrade paths.

Reasons to consider it

  • Compounded semaglutide from $83/mo and tirzepatide from $97/mo, billed as one all-in monthly price
  • Brand Wegovy, Zepbound, and Foundayo (oral GLP-1) available on the same platform
  • US-licensed provider reviews requests within 24 hours — no video visit required

What to weigh up

  • Both figures are 'as low as' rates and the qualifying term is not published anywhere — the checkout is gated, so whether $97 is month-to-month or a multi-month prepay cannot be established before signing up
  • Brand-name routes are priced separately and do carry a fee: $49/mo membership plus medication from $149/mo for Foundayo and Wegovy, from $299/mo for Zepbound
  • No state count is published, and a state-variant waitlist implies some states are unserved

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.
