YOURx Health
68/100Where the value is
- Real per-product pricing published on individual treatment pages, not just a vague 'starting at' banner: $169/mo semaglutide injection, $189/mo tirzepatide injection, $159/mo and $179/mo oral-tablet equivalents
- Listed price is genuinely all-in — physician consultation, supplies, and shipping are bundled with no separate visit or shipping fee shown
- Both injectable and oral (RDT tablet) formulations offered for each drug, a needle-free option many peer sites lack
The tradeoffs
- Every price is explicitly labeled 'New Patient' with no disclosure of what it becomes afterward — the true ongoing cost is unknown
- The homepage's state counter reads 'Coverage 0 States,' so ask whether your state is covered before you start
MadeMed
68/100Where the value is
- One flat price at every dose, printed dose by dose on each product page
- Offers sublingual semaglutide tablets ($219 a month quarterly) and oral tirzepatide alongside the injections
- You can cancel or pause in one click from your dashboard, and it emails you 7 days before every charge
The tradeoffs
- There is no monthly plan; the shortest commitment is three months, billed up front
- Injectable semaglutide is offered in only 23 states, fewer than the 40 the service lists overall, so check your state on the product page
