Weight Loss / GLP-1$650–$1100
Branded GLP-1 Prescription (Wegovy, Saxenda)
$247
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

Wellorithm

+First-month pricing is competitive: compounded semaglutide $147 and tirzepatide $249, with no membership fee and free shipping
+Written weight-loss guarantee: refund of up to four months of fees if a new patient loses less than 10% after 16 adherent weeks (terms apply)
+Broad catalog spanning compounded injectables and tablets, branded GLP-1s, NAD+, sermorelin and tadalafil
−Ongoing prices rise $100 after month one ($247 / $349), and 28-day billing means 13 charges a year
−Medical group and dispensing pharmacy are not named, and the About page shows placeholder 'specialist' profiles with no credentials
−The site advertises a 4.5 Trustpilot score that doesn't match its thin actual Trustpilot profile, which includes a report of an unauthorized $899 charge and a delayed refund
