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
MyDrHank
65/100Where the value is
- The price does not change as your dose is titrated up — its FAQ states it plainly ("The price stays the same at every dose — no surprise price increases"), and dose-indexed pricing is the single most common way a cheap first month becomes an expensive fourth one
- A genuine oral route on semaglutide: a daily tablet, including one compounded with low-dose ondansetron specifically to blunt the nausea that ends most GLP-1 courses early
- The entire price ladder is public — monthly, quarterly, 6-month and yearly, with the total for each term printed beside the per-month figure — before any quiz, intake or email capture
The tradeoffs
- EVERY price the site advertises is a twelve-month prepay rate, and not by accident: the price display is coded to return the cheapest term in the ladder, so "From $X/mo" is always the yearly figure. No page shows a month-to-month rate beside it
- What the twelve months actually cost, up front: oral semaglutide $2,057 to reach the advertised $171/mo, injectable semaglutide $2,140 to reach $178/mo, and tirzepatide $2,883 to reach $240/mo
