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

Lavender Sky Health

+Every consult fee and pharmacy-specific plan price is published before booking, across 13 named compounding pharmacies the patient chooses between

+Among the lowest effective compounded GLP-1 costs we track: tier plans from about $195–219 for an 8–10 week supply, with price set by total mg rather than a membership

+Pay-per-consult model ($65 new, $40 follow-up every 6 months) with no recurring platform fee

−13% of Trustpilot reviews are one-star, citing inconsistent vial fill levels, heat-damaged shipments and slow refunds

−Support reportedly deflects quality and shipping problems to the chosen pharmacy

−Slower path to medication: e-consult review within 3 business days, then 2–10 business days for pharmacy shipping
