TeleDirectMD

+One all-in $79 cash price per visit, published up front and HSA/FSA eligible
+Every visit is a live video consult with a named, board-certified physician, never a mid-level provider or a questionnaire-only review
+Fast access: visits typically start within 1–2 hours of booking, 7 days a week, and prescriptions go to the patient's own pharmacy
−A single physician handles all visits, which limits capacity and continuity of care
−No GLP-1, weight-loss or controlled-substance prescribing
−Not available in AR, MA, NM, NY, OR or RI

Winona

+Vertically integrated: in-house compounding pharmacies, proprietary EHR, employed physicians
+Strong patient satisfaction: 4.6/5 Trustpilot with 6,000+ reviews, 80% report symptom relief in 3 months
+Accessible pricing: $54-$149/mo for core HRT with free consultations and shipping
−Billing runs every 28 days on monthly supplies, which is 13 charges a year rather than 12
−Six of the hormone products and DHEA are advertised as a 'from' price, with dose-level pricing visible only after an intake, so the figures here are floors rather than what most patients pay
−No insurance billing — entirely out-of-pocket (though HSA/FSA accepted)
