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

LIV Body

+Low entry pricing on the monthly plan: compounded semaglutide from $99/mo and tirzepatide from $149/mo, with no membership fee

+Names its four dispensing pharmacies, with addresses, on the program page

+Clinical care comes from OpenLoop Health, an established telehealth clinician network, with unlimited clinician messaging included

−No independent review record for the telehealth program: zero Trustpilot reviews, and member counts are not separated from supplement customers

−'Starting at' prices only; the site does not publish dose-level or renewal pricing

−GLP-1 page carries supplement-style disclaimers and pushes a $150 supplement bundle, which blurs the line between prescription care and product upsell
