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.

CategoryPlushCareYucca Health
Weight Loss / GLP-1$650–$1100
Branded GLP-1 Prescription (Wegovy, Saxenda)
$125–$146
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

−Dispensing pharmacies are not named on the public site; they appear only in the patient portal and on the label after ordering
−BBB rating of C+ (not accredited) with five closed complaints; one Trustpilot reviewer reports prepaying six months and receiving three
−About 6% of roughly 1,230 Trustpilot reviews are 1-star, citing lack of results after months of treatment and refund disputes
