Pricing Where They Compete

Prices shown are based on our most recent research and may not reflect current pricing. Telehealth providers update their pricing frequently. Always verify pricing directly with the provider before purchasing.

Weight Loss / GLP-1$650–$1100
Branded GLP-1 Prescription (Wegovy, Saxenda)
$269
Compounded Semaglutide (injectable)

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

TruForma Health

+Names its prescribing group (Lion MD, with physician NPIs) and all five dispensing 503A pharmacies, with phone numbers
+Each plan has one published all-inclusive monthly price covering the provider review, medication and shipping
+Physician review promised within 24 hours of a roughly 2-minute intake
−Prices ($269 semaglutide / $359 tirzepatide) are above many compounded competitors that include the same services
−Restrictive refund terms: intake is non-refundable, cancellation fees apply before fulfillment, and an $80 default telemedicine fee is kept after a provider decision
−Homepage testimonials reuse the same names and weight-loss figures seen on other network storefronts (e.g. 'Sandra K., 48 lbs'), and the refund policy lists a support address on an unrelated domain
