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
Whoosh Wellness
48/100Where the value is
- Wide range of delivery formats (microdose injection, standard injection, tablets for tirzepatide)
- "Not charged unless prescribed" -- no upfront charge before physician review
- LegitScript badge displayed on the site
The tradeoffs
- Headline 'starting at' prices ($149/$199) are the cheapest of 6-8 tiers and not representative of likely maintenance-dose cost (up to $1,499/mo for tirzepatide)
- Pricing tiers aren't clearly labeled by mg dose, making true cost comparison difficult before signing up
