Youth & Soul
61/100Where the value is
- Named, verifiable compounding pharmacy partner (Procompounding Pharmacy) plus a named fulfillment partner (The Pharmacy Hub)
- Claims all-50-state shipping
- LegitScript seal displayed
The tradeoffs
- Its main web address forwards to a differently spelled site, so make sure you're on the right one before entering details
- 'From $149/mo' headline price isn't broken out by exact dose, and the referenced 'Level 1-3' tier structure isn't fully published
Docberry
61/100Where the value is
- Every GLP-1 bundle is priced on the weight-loss page before you book: semaglutide $796 for four months or $2,028 for twelve, tirzepatide $1,745 for three months
- Names its pharmacy, Olympia Pharmaceuticals, a registered 503B outsourcing facility and 503A pharmacy
- Starts with an online consultation with a doctor, followed by regular check-ins to adjust the plan
The tradeoffs
- There is no month-to-month option: the shortest semaglutide plan is a four-month prepay and the only tirzepatide plan is three months up front
- The "Starting at $169/mo" headline is the monthly average of the 12-month, $2,028 bundle
