+Longer-commitment discount structure rewards 6-12 month plans with the lowest per-month price ($135)

PlushCare

+Low $19.99/mo membership with first month free, and insurance-eligible visits as low as a $30 copay

+Accepts major insurance plans (Aetna, Cigna, Humana), broader than most single-purpose GLP-1 telehealth startups

+Physician-led primary care model covers ongoing and chronic care beyond a single weight-loss funnel

−Branded GLP-1 medication (Zepbound, Wegovy) is billed separately at the pharmacy — without insurance coverage this can run roughly $1,000+/month, dwarfing the low membership fee

−No compounded GLP-1 option, so cash-pay patients without drug coverage face full retail brand pricing

−Trustpilot pattern of unexpected recurring membership charges and difficulty cancelling
