VivioMD
53/100Where the value is
- Offers both compounded AND FDA-approved branded GLP-1s (Ozempic, Zepbound) -- more flexibility than compounded-only competitors
- Four named pharmacy partners disclosed by name, more transparency than most peers
- Broad state coverage -- 49 states, only Louisiana excluded
The tradeoffs
- No pricing whatsoever is published -- every price is gated behind a full intake assessment
- No medical director name disclosed anywhere on the accessible pages
Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to VivioMD Group LLC dba VivioMD in June 2026. We still list and link to VivioMD; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
Freya Meds
53/100Where the value is
- GLP-1 specialist, not a multi-category telehealth platform
- Both quarterly ($250/$332) and monthly ($297/$390) rates are transparently published on the product pages themselves, cancel-anytime with no lock-in
- Bundle includes unlimited doctor consultations, monthly group calls, and a dietitian consultation at no extra charge
The tradeoffs
- The homepage's headline '$150/mo' and '$249/mo' figures do not match either selectable plan on the actual product pages ($250-$390/mo) — they appear to be an annual-prepay rate surfaced by a customer testimonial rather than a plan a shopper can actually select on the pages checked
- No LegitScript certification or equivalent third-party accreditation found on any page checked
