Willow
49/100Where the value is
- Oral tablet formulations of both semaglutide and tirzepatide, priced identically to the injectable versions ($299/mo and $399/mo respectively) — a genuine format choice most compounded-drug competitors don't offer
- Month-to-month billing with no prepay or annual term required to get the advertised rate
- Named physician team publicly listed, including Chief Medical Officer Dr. Michael Green, MD, plus 11+ other credentialed MDs/DOs
The tradeoffs
- Only 34 states served — notably narrower than WeightlessRx's 49-state footprint; residents of the other 16 states plus DC are excluded
- Site states medication cost 'varies by dosage and prescription' but never discloses what a higher maintenance dose actually costs beyond the $299/$399 starting figures
Dr. Arevitalize
48/100Where the value is
- LegitScript certification badge displayed on the homepage
- A 30-day return policy is explicitly published for unopened items, with typical delivery stated as 3-5 business days
- Offers both injectable and oral-capsule GLP-1 formats per the site's Weight Loss category structure
The tradeoffs
- No dollar figure for semaglutide or tirzepatide appears anywhere in the accessible public site — pricing is disclosed only after completing the BMI-calculator/intake flow
- No compounding pharmacy, medical director, or individual prescriber is named on any accessible page
