Nu Image Medical

+Roughly 18 years of continuous online operation, far longer than most competitors in the category
+Low entry pricing published on-site: semaglutide from $99/mo (12-month supply), ED tablets from $3, enclomiphene from $80/mo
+One of the widest catalogs reviewed, spanning GLP-1s, testosterone, peptides, NAD+, hair loss, and women's sexual health (Addyi, estradiol cream, compounded gel)
−Strict all-sales-final policy with no refunds except for damaged product, plus explicit chargeback-contest language
−Headline GLP-1 price requires buying a 12-month supply; shorter-term pricing isn't shown before enrollment
−Reviewers report provider replies taking 6–8 days and little proactive follow-up

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
