How we compare
The same standard for every provider. No exceptions.
GLP-1 telehealth is full of vague medication lists and pricing you can't pin down. Here is exactly how we sample each provider, what gets ranked, what gets flagged, and what gets left off entirely.
What they actually carry
We sample every provider on the same first question: which medications they truly offer. Semaglutide or tirzepatide? Brand-name or compounded? We document what the provider states and what it leaves vague. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, and we flag that plainly. A provider that won't say what it carries gets noted as exactly that — this filter does more work than everything that follows.
Price transparency
We publish provider-attributed starting prices — what the provider says it charges to begin — and we always tell you to verify the current number at the source, because GLP-1 telehealth pricing changes often. We note when pricing is buried, gated behind a consultation, or bundled in ways that make the real cost hard to compare. We report what the provider documents; we don't invent figures.
How the consultation works
A prescription requires a consultation with a licensed provider, so we sample that path: is it a synchronous visit or an async questionnaire? What does intake ask for? How does follow-up and dose adjustment work? We describe the documented process so you know what to expect before you start — and so you can walk into that clinician conversation informed.
What we could — and couldn't — verify
For every provider we separate what we independently confirmed from what we're taking on the provider's word. We rank on verifiable attributes — medications carried, disclosed pricing, consultation structure, stated credentials — never on weight-loss outcomes, which we don't measure and won't imply. When a claim can't be checked, we say so rather than dress it up.
Ongoing re-review
Providers change formularies, switch pharmacies, and adjust prices constantly. A ranking from last year is a rumor. We re-check what each provider carries and revisit verdicts on a rolling basis, and every guide carries the date it was last reviewed.
What we don't do:no pay-to-play, no sponsored verdicts, no placements for sale. We earn affiliate commissions when you sign up with some providers through our links, but rankings are set before monetization is considered, and an affiliate relationship never reorders a list. Competitors we can't link to are still covered editorially. See the full disclosure.
The honest limits:we sample what providers publish and disclose — we don't sell, ship, or prescribe medication, so our verification is only as good as what providers document (which is exactly why we reward the ones that document more). And nothing here is medical advice. This site is educational and for adults 18 and over; prices are provider-attributed and change often, so verify them at the source; a prescription requires a consultation with a licensed provider; and compounded medications are not FDA-approved.
