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-coverage counter literally reads 'Coverage 0 States,' a broken/placeholder metric that leaves real coverage unverifiable from the site itself
Medical Health Institute
68/100Where the value is
- Advertises a competitively low $100/mo entry price for GLP-1 weight loss
- Offers multiple service lines (weight loss, TRT, peptide therapy) under one provider
- LegitScript and HIPAA-compliance badges both displayed on the homepage
The tradeoffs
- The $100/mo headline price carries the company's own asterisk — '*Based on pharmacy availability' — meaning it is explicitly not a guaranteed rate before intake
- No dose tier or even which drug (semaglutide vs. tirzepatide) the $100 figure applies to is disclosed anywhere public
