The better fit depends on what is included in your quote. A lower advertised price can require prepayment, apply to a starting dose or leave out a separate fee.

Vital Edge

Shoppers who want compounded, oral and brand-name GLP-1 options from one practice, with prices listed up front.

Reasons to consider it

  • Every program price is listed on the homepage, and each includes the consultation, medication and shipping
  • Flat monthly fee with no upcharge as your dose rises
  • Unusually wide menu: compounded injections, compounded oral semaglutide ($199) and tirzepatide ($269) capsules, and brand Ozempic ($705), Mounjaro ($835), Wegovy ($990) and Rybelsus ($645)

What to weigh up

  • Its Terms of Service and HIPAA Notice links lead to a page-not-found screen, and no cancellation or refund terms are published
  • If you aren't prescribed medication, you're charged an $80 telehealth consult fee
  • The site calls its GLP-1 medications FDA-approved without separating the compounded versions, which are not FDA-approved

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

AskRx

Patients seeking brand-name prescriptions with monthly physician support who will confirm the full drug and care cost before paying.

Reasons to consider it

  • Prescribes FDA-approved brand-name medications, including oral Wegovy and Foundayo
  • Publishes the care fee as $90 for physician care plus $10 for fulfillment each month
  • Includes physician messaging and monthly titration planning

What to weigh up

  • Medication prices are not published before intake, so the $100 care fee is not the total treatment cost
  • The homepage describes an affiliated pharmacy, while the terms describe independent pharmacies; confirm who dispenses and bills your prescription
  • Its Foundayo description names the wrong ingredient; FDA lists Foundayo as orforglipron
