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.

Category	PlushCare	Tuyo Health
Primary Care	$20–$129 PlushCare Membership + Weight-Loss Visit	$9.99 Primary Care Membership
Weight Loss / GLP-1	$650–$1100 Branded GLP-1 Prescription (Wegovy, Saxenda)	$99 Metformin (weight program)

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
