Compare providers
| Provider | Best fit | Pricing signal | Watch-out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fridays | Cash-pay shoppers comfortable asking hard questions about compounded medication. | Promoted prices change often. Verify the actual dose price, visit fees, and refill terms. | Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved. Confirm pharmacy, formulation, and refund terms first. |
| Ro | People who want a polished telehealth path and brand-name medication options. | Medication and membership are often billed separately. Check the renewal price, not just month one. | Dose, eligibility, and insurance status can change your real monthly cost. |
| Hers | People who already prefer the Hers telehealth experience. | Membership and medication may be billed separately. Confirm the current product and monthly total. | The offer mix changes over time. Verify what is actually prescribed before paying. |
| Eden | People comparing low cash prices who will verify compounded-drug risk themselves. | Starter prices can differ sharply from refill prices. Confirm dose, shipping, and follow-up costs. | Ask exactly which pharmacy, ingredient form, and legal basis applies. |
| Walgreens Weight Management | People who want a pharmacy-linked, no-subscription path and already plan to pay cash. | Expect separate visit and medication costs. Check whether savings-card terms apply. | Insurance prior authorization may not be handled through this path. |
| PlushCare | People who want physician visits and insurance support. | Cash-pay brand-name medication can still be expensive once visits and labs are added. | Separate fees can push the total higher than the headline visit price. |
How to choose
Use three filters: medication path, total monthly cost, and clinical support.
Ask before paying
- Is the medication FDA-approved or compounded?
- What is the total cost after starter pricing?
- Who handles side effects, dose changes, and refills?
