WeightRx
69/100Where the value is
- The tirzepatide figure is published up front, and it is genuinely low against the field
- Both molecules are offered
- No membership charge is advertised alongside the medication rate
The tradeoffs
- The $83 monthly rate is advertised as '$83/month ($997/year)', which is twelve months of it — no month-to-month rate is separately published, and the terms state that a rate is locked for its full term
- Both product pages linked from the homepage return 404, so the plan terms cannot be read before intake
Nolu
68/100Where the value is
- Both molecules published up front — $249 semaglutide, $339 tirzepatide — plus an oral semaglutide tablet option
- All-inclusive per-cycle pricing: consultation, medication and shipping bundled, no separate membership fee
- LegitScript verified
The tradeoffs
- Billed every 4 weeks, not per calendar month — 13 charges a year, not 12, so the real annualized cost runs ~8% above the headline figure
- No named medical director, prescriber, or compounding pharmacy disclosed anywhere on the site
