Direct Meds

+Transparent cash-pay pricing with no hidden fees
+Integrated pharmacy for fast fulfillment
+Competitive GLP-1 pricing
−GLP-1 tiers carry a three-month billing commitment while the same pages display a Cancel Anytime badge
−Marketing site publishes only two of sixteen-plus prices, one of them only inside invisible schema markup; the real prices sit on a storefront the marketing pages never link to
−FDA warning letter (Sept 2025, ref 716822) — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide cited as misbranded over claims that they contain the same active ingredient as the branded drugs

Elite HRT

+Names its telehealth medical group (Beluga Health) and compounding pharmacy (Epiq Scripts) in the site footer
+Promises lot-level third-party testing (HPLC purity, endotoxin) with a certificate of analysis published for each order
+Price is visible without an intake form
−The catalog is a single product (NAD+ at $325 per vial), and its 'Stacks' and 'Science' pages return 404 errors
−$325 per vial is well above NAD+ programs elsewhere (about $150-$230/mo), and the site does not say how long a vial lasts
−Testimonials look templated: the same reviewer name appears twice, and the only clinician quote comes from an unverifiable 'Dr. Amara Okonwo'
