Zappy Health
69/100Where the value is
- Both compounded semaglutide/tirzepatide and brand Wegovy/Zepbound pathways offered on one platform
- No insurance or membership required; cash-pay pricing displayed before intake
- LegitScript badge displayed on the site
The tradeoffs
- Does not name its dispensing pharmacy
- No named medical director or prescriber found
Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Kare Solutions, LLC dba Zappy in February 2026. We still list and link to Zappy Health; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
Big Easy Weight Loss
69/100Where the value is
- Consultations are with a live physician, not an NP/PA — CMO Dr. Gabriel Lasala is named
- Six named compounding pharmacy partners with 2-3 day stated turnaround
- Serves all 50 states with free shipping in discreet packaging
The tradeoffs
- Priced as a 12-week package, not a simple monthly fee — the $133/$166-per-month figures widely quoted (including in this network's own prior data) are the ONE-TIME new-patient rate; the regular renewal-package rate works out to $165/mo semaglutide and $200/mo tirzepatide
- The pricing page never confirms whether the new-patient discount applies again on a second package, so the true ongoing cost after month 3 is unclear
