Weight Loss / GLP-1	$99–$199 Compounded Semaglutide Plan	$650–$1100 Branded GLP-1 Prescription (Wegovy, Saxenda)

Found

+Broadest medication menu among GLP-1 telehealth programs (compounded semaglutide/tirzepatide, branded GLP-1s, metformin, topiramate, Contrave, zonisamide) via a personalized assessment

+Compounded medication cost is bundled into the monthly plan fee rather than billed separately, so the advertised price is closer to the real one

+Multiple insurance partnerships (BCBS, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Anthem) with copays reported around $30

−Reddit/Trustpilot reports of 'misleading pricing' and unexpected charges, particularly around insurance and Medicare coverage representation

−Entry-level $99/mo price requires a 12-month prepay commitment; month-to-month cash pricing runs closer to $289/mo

−Customer service responsiveness reported as inconsistent, especially for shipment problems

PlushCare

+Low $19.99/mo membership with first month free, and insurance-eligible visits as low as a $30 copay

+Accepts major insurance plans (Aetna, Cigna, Humana), broader than most single-purpose GLP-1 telehealth startups

+Physician-led primary care model covers ongoing and chronic care beyond a single weight-loss funnel

−Branded GLP-1 medication (Zepbound, Wegovy) is billed separately at the pharmacy — without insurance coverage this can run roughly $1,000+/month, dwarfing the low membership fee

−No compounded GLP-1 option, so cash-pay patients without drug coverage face full retail brand pricing

−Trustpilot pattern of unexpected recurring membership charges and difficulty cancelling
