Trinity Meds
58/100Where the value is
- LegitScript Certified with a displayed seal
- Transparent tiered pricing table (month-to-month through 12-month prepay) all shown up front
- Four named, identifiable compounding pharmacy partners
The tradeoffs
- Headline $99/$149 pricing sits under a manufactured-urgency 'Was $299' countdown-timer promo with an unverifiable anchor price
- Cheapest per-month rates require 12-month prepayment, not simple monthly billing
24hrDOC
57/100Where the value is
- Full struck-through pricing (promo vs. regular) is published on-site before intake, so the true ongoing cost is verifiable rather than hidden
- Both standard and lower-cost microdose options published for each drug
- Fast intake model: '10-minute assessment' with no office visit required
The tradeoffs
- The widely-advertised $149/$239 price is a ONE-TIME first-month discount ('$100 off'); the standing ongoing price is $249/mo semaglutide and $339/mo tirzepatide — about 40% higher
- No compounding pharmacy or medical director named on the site
