TeleHealth Med
48/100Where the value is
- Publishes the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer and displays a LegitScript verification badge with a working verification link
- Offers both injectable and sublingual (oral) forms of compounded GLP-1 — a real formulation choice most competitors don't have
- Georgia corporate entity (TeleHealth Med, Inc.) is named, giving clearer legal accountability
The tradeoffs
- No dollar figure appears anywhere on the public homepage or any subpage reached — pricing is generated only after completing an in-funnel medication/state selector
- The site returns HTTP 403 to plain automated requests, making it unusually hard to verify pricing
UR Meds
48/100Where the value is
- GLP-1 weight-loss care from $179/mo with the same price at every dose
- No monthly membership; cancel anytime; no insurance required
- Multi-pillar: also peptides, men's/women's health, hair, and longevity
The tradeoffs
- Specific GLP-1 molecule (semaglutide vs tirzepatide) not named on the marketing site
- Compounding pharmacy partner not named
