Lavender Sky Health

+Every consult fee and pharmacy-specific plan price is published before booking, across 13 named compounding pharmacies the patient chooses between
+Among the lowest effective compounded GLP-1 costs we track: tier plans from about $195–219 for an 8–10 week supply, with price set by total mg rather than a membership
+Pay-per-consult model ($65 new, $40 follow-up every 6 months) with no recurring platform fee
−13% of Trustpilot reviews are one-star, citing inconsistent vial fill levels, heat-damaged shipments and slow refunds
−Support reportedly deflects quality and shipping problems to the chosen pharmacy
−Slower path to medication: e-consult review within 3 business days, then 2–10 business days for pharmacy shipping

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
