Our #1 pick for women

More alternatives, in ranking order

Ro

Ranked #5 · Grade B

The most polished route to on-label Wegovy or Zepbound, with a dedicated insurance concierge — powerful if the branded product is the goal, though the membership fee and the medication cost are always two separate charges.

  • publishes a price for both molecules, which LillyDirect Foundayo does not
  • offers FDA-approved brand pens, not just compounded
  • scores 84/100 against LillyDirect Foundayo's 43

Form Health

Ranked #3 · Grade B

The closest thing here to a real obesity-medicine clinic online — board-certified physicians and registered dietitians, monthly video visits, and a real effort to work brand-name drugs through insurance. The $299 self-pay fee is for that clinical team, not the medication.

  • publishes a price for both molecules, which LillyDirect Foundayo does not
  • offers FDA-approved brand pens, not just compounded
  • scores 86/100 against LillyDirect Foundayo's 43

Gala Health

Ranked #4 · Grade B

A flat $179 for either molecule with a genuinely gentle microdosing tier — a reasonable, all-doses-included option if you can live with a yearly plan and a pharmacy it doesn't name.

  • publishes a price for both molecules, which LillyDirect Foundayo does not
  • offers FDA-approved brand pens, not just compounded
  • scores 84/100 against LillyDirect Foundayo's 43

ShedRx

Ranked #13 · Grade C

The widest menu on our roster — injections, sublingual lozenges, daily drops, four brand-name pens and the approved oral GLP-1 — with three compounding pharmacies named, a flat price at any dose, and cancellation terms among the most restrictive we have read.

  • publishes a price for both molecules, which LillyDirect Foundayo does not
  • offers FDA-approved brand pens, not just compounded
  • scores 76/100 against LillyDirect Foundayo's 43

SynergyRX

Ranked #14 · Grade C

Now confirmed to publish real GLP-1 prices — compounded semaglutide from $199, tirzepatide from $349, plus brand options — right on its products page, no consult required, contrary to what an earlier check found.

  • publishes a price for both molecules, which LillyDirect Foundayo does not
  • offers FDA-approved brand pens, not just compounded
  • scores 76/100 against LillyDirect Foundayo's 43

Found Health

Ranked #17 · Grade C

The most complete set of routes on this roster — a real branded lane through insurance or LillyDirect, a compounded lane that charges the same for tirzepatide as for semaglutide, and a non-GLP-1 generics lane — undercut by a three-day refund window and a complaint pattern that sits squarely on billing.

  • publishes a price for both molecules, which LillyDirect Foundayo does not
  • offers FDA-approved brand pens, not just compounded
  • scores 74/100 against LillyDirect Foundayo's 43

Eden

Ranked #2 · Grade B+

The most oversight-forward compounded program on this list — visible clinician involvement and lab framing, which is exactly what you want when thyroid and hormones are already in flux, at $196/mo semaglutide or $296/mo tirzepatide, both priced flat and available nationwide.

  • publishes a price for both molecules, which LillyDirect Foundayo does not
  • scores 89/100 against LillyDirect Foundayo's 43

Sesame

Ranked #8 · Grade B−

A real telehealth marketplace with a video visit and a clinician you pick — now brand-first, so you get on-label Wegovy or Zepbound with the manufacturer's own pregnancy labeling, if you can absorb a membership fee stacked on the drug price.

  • offers FDA-approved brand pens, not just compounded
  • scores 81/100 against LillyDirect Foundayo's 43

Strut Health

Ranked #9 · Grade B−

Physician-founded and genuinely cheap, with both molecules in a lozenge or a shot and a free MD visit — but a February 2026 FDA misbranding letter is a caveat a mother should read before signing up.

  • publishes a price for both molecules, which LillyDirect Foundayo does not
  • scores 80/100 against LillyDirect Foundayo's 43
