Defy Medical

+15 years in operation (founded 2011) — one of the longest-running cash-pay hormone-therapy telehealth brands, with a named Medical Director (Dr. Justin Saya)

+Trustpilot rating of 4.8/5 across 4,144 reviews, and the company responds to 94% of negative reviews, typically within 24 hours

+Broad treatment range from a single provider — TRT, women's HRT, peptides, GLP-1s, sexual dysfunction, and hair loss — dispensed through its own 503B-registered pharmacy with labs required before prescribing

−Pricing is not published on the website; patients must complete a roughly $250 consult before learning treatment costs, a transparency gap versus competitors that post pricing upfront

−Some patients report delays of a week or more between consult and medication fulfillment

−Mobile app quality lags the web experience, per patient feedback

Everlywell

+Per-test pricing is published openly without requiring an account or completed intake form

+Visby rapid PCR option ($149) offers faster at-home result turnaround than standard mail-in lab tests

+Broad diagnostic catalog beyond sexual health (thyroid, food sensitivity, hormone panels) supports repeat testing relationships

−Trustpilot rating is weak and polarized for the category (2.9/5 on 535 reviews: 47% five-star vs. 34% one-star)

−Recurring complaints about kits expiring before patients can use them, with the company declining replacements

−No-returns policy once a kit ships, plus non-refundable shipping fees, add financial friction if a kit is unusable
