Dr. B

+Flat $19 consult price with no membership is a genuine low-cost outlier versus most direct-to-consumer telehealth
+Founder credibility from Cyrus Massoumi's Zocdoc track record, plus national press coverage (NYT, TIME)
+Broad 30+ condition list spanning hair loss, dermatology, and everyday primary care from a single intake
−Shorter operating history (founded 2021) means less accumulated patient-review volume than established competitors
−Consult is async only — no live video option for patients who prefer to speak with a clinician directly
−Prescriptions route to a local pharmacy for pickup by default rather than home delivery, an extra step some competitors skip

TeleDirectMD

+One all-in $79 cash price per visit, published up front and HSA/FSA eligible
+Every visit is a live video consult with a named, board-certified physician, never a mid-level provider or a questionnaire-only review
+Fast access: visits typically start within 1–2 hours of booking, 7 days a week, and prescriptions go to the patient's own pharmacy
−A single physician handles all visits, which limits capacity and continuity of care
−No GLP-1, weight-loss or controlled-substance prescribing
−Not available in AR, MA, NM, NY, OR or RI
