CallonDoc

+Posted flat-rate pricing (roughly $40-$60) visible before starting a consult, no insurance needed

+Broad condition coverage spanning primary care, STD, dermatology, mental health, and men's/women's health

+Fast prescription turnaround, typically within about two hours to a local pharmacy

−Most visits are async/form-based rather than live video, which may not suit patients who want to speak with a clinician directly

−A meaningful minority of reviewers report prescription delivery delays or friction resolving billing/admin issues

−Condition list is broad enough that depth of care for complex or chronic issues may lag specialist telehealth brands

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
