Women's Health—$20–$45
UTI Treatment

Inner Balance

+Single all-in monthly price covering the prescription, shipping and clinician messaging, with no separate consult fee
+Physician-founded (Dr. Sarah Daccarett, board-certified) with online intake and no mandatory lab draw to start
+HSA/FSA payment accepted at checkout
−Front-loaded pricing: $199/mo for the first six months before dropping to $99.50/mo, about $1,791 in year one
−Only product is a compounded cream (not FDA-approved), and the site contradicts itself on whether it comes from a 503A or 503B pharmacy
−State coverage claims conflict across the brand's own pages (43 + DC, 48, and all 50)

ZipHealth

+Large scale for a generalist telehealth pharmacy platform: 560,000+ customers claimed and one of the higher Trustpilot review volumes in the category (3,700+ reviews, 4.2 average).
+Broad prescription menu spanning hair loss (finasteride), ED, migraine, antiviral, UTI, and other common conditions through a single flat consultation fee.
+Fast, self-service intake flow praised by many reviewers as easy to navigate.
−Reviewers describe automatic subscription renewals with insufficient warning and difficulty canceling — a billing-friction issue distinct from having a subscription model at all.
−Individual medication pricing (including finasteride) is not shown until after intake is completed, limiting upfront price transparency.
−Multiple reviewers report multi-day waits for provider consultations despite marketing an 'express' service.
