Tell Her Doc vs Measured
Two GLP-1 programs on the bench, scored on the same six factors. Here's how their real cost of ownership compares — and which one we'd start with.
Tell Her Doc
Cost-first shoppers who want women seeking a well-documented, LegitScript-verified provider -- but get the real recurring price before trusting the $269 headline.
Visit Tell Her DocMeasured
Cost-first shoppers who want coaching-forward metabolic care with compounded or brand-name GLP-1s.
Visit MeasuredThe verdict
Tell Her Doc takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 69 to 68. TellHerDoc is a women's-health-oriented telehealth platform offering compounded and brand-name semaglutide/tirzepatide, backed by four named physicians (with published NPI numbers), four named compounding pharmacies. Measured still earns a C — Cost-first shoppers who want coaching-forward metabolic care with compounded or brand-name GLP-1s.

Tell Her Doc
69/100Where the value is
- Four named, NPI-verified physicians -- unusually transparent medical leadership for this category
- Four named compounding pharmacy partners (Belmar, Strive, Epiq Scripts, Casa Pharma Rx)
- Claims and displays coverage across all 50 states
The tradeoffs
- Headline '$269 / $140 off' price is a prepaid, first-time-customer, oral-semaglutide-only promo -- not a general or recurring rate
- No standalone tirzepatide price disclosed
Measured
68/100Where the value is
- Membership includes 1:1 nutrition support and board-certified provider care
- Both compounded (from $79/mo microdose, $119 semaglutide, $229 tirzepatide) and brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound
- Insurance or cash-pay options for brand-name medications
The tradeoffs
- The headline $79 'GLP-1 Microdose' is a promotional rate off a $99 list price, is filed by the provider under longevity rather than weight loss, and is not a labeled therapeutic dose of either molecule
- Branded plans are a $49/mo membership with the medication billed separately at $149 to $449/mo
