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
Fella Health
48/100Where the value is
- LegitScript-verified (badge confirmed live on /reviews)
- 6-month money-back guarantee if a member hasn't lost at least 5% body weight, stated on both /reviews and /join-now
- Free lab work included, either locally or at-home, per the homepage
The tradeoffs
- No exact monthly dollar figure is published anywhere on the public site for either drug — only the vague 'under $10/day' floor claim, confirmed across homepage, /faq/payment, and /faq/medication
- No named medical director found anywhere on the site, only generic 'board-certified clinicians'
