GoodLife Health

+Prescribes only FDA-approved branded GLP-1s and hormones, avoiding compounded-drug regulatory exposure
+Four cardiometabolic lab panels per year plus monthly clinician check-ins are included in the membership
+Medication is billed at pharmacy or manufacturer-program cost with no markup, separating care fees from drug sales
−All-in cost is high: $299/mo membership plus branded medication ($349-$499/mo for Zepbound vials via LillyDirect) and a $598 two-month upfront commitment
−Online presence relies on self-published press releases ranking itself first, one of which quotes a $179/mo price not shown on its site
−No independent patient review base on Trustpilot, Reddit or app stores

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
