Our #1 pick for women

More alternatives, in ranking order

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.

  • $301/mo cheaper than Rivas Medical Weight Loss
  • serves all 50 states, where Rivas Medical Weight Loss lists Fifteen locations across Maryland and Virginia
  • has an oral option if you would rather not inject

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.

  • serves all 50 states, where Rivas Medical Weight Loss lists Fifteen locations across Maryland and Virginia
  • has an oral option if you would rather not inject

Breeze Meds

Ranked #11 · Grade C

A clean, all-50-states compounded option with named pharmacies, no membership and the consult included — reasonable and transparent on price, though it's a newer platform with thin public detail beyond the $199 headline.

  • $301/mo cheaper than Rivas Medical Weight Loss
  • serves all 50 states, where Rivas Medical Weight Loss lists Fifteen locations across Maryland and Virginia
  • has an oral option if you would rather not inject

Eden

Ranked #2 · Grade B+

⛔ FDA warning letter #728279 (June 2026), which names tryeden.com. The most oversight-forward compounded program here — visible clinician involvement and lab framing — at $196/mo semaglutide or $296/mo tirzepatide, flat and nationwide.

  • $304/mo cheaper than Rivas Medical Weight Loss
  • serves all 50 states, where Rivas Medical Weight Loss lists Fifteen locations across Maryland and Virginia
  • scores 89/100 against Rivas Medical Weight Loss's 55

Trimi Health

Ranked #10 · Grade B−

The price-first pick: some of the lowest flat, all-inclusive compounded pricing we track, nationwide — strong if the monthly number is your deciding factor and you read the annual-prepay fine print.

  • $325/mo cheaper than Rivas Medical Weight Loss
  • serves all 50 states, where Rivas Medical Weight Loss lists Fifteen locations across Maryland and Virginia
  • scores 80/100 against Rivas Medical Weight Loss's 55

Lemonaid Health

Ranked #85 · Grade C

A $49/mo membership plus medication billed separately — compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide both land around $348/mo all-in, brand-name Ozempic ($1,199/mo) and Wegovy ($1,599/mo) are available at their real cash price if you'd rather skip compounding, and dedicated PAs handle Kansas, New Jersey and Texas while LMND Medical Group covers everyone else — but nothing on-site addresses pregnancy, breastfeeding, or PCOS.

  • $152/mo cheaper than Rivas Medical Weight Loss
  • serves all 50 states, where Rivas Medical Weight Loss lists Fifteen locations across Maryland and Virginia

CareBareRX

Ranked #18 · Grade C

Both molecules have confirmed, tiered pricing, which appears only inside the signup flow — the public site carries no price at all — with a real gotcha: the 3-month plan costs more per month than month-to-month.

  • $301/mo cheaper than Rivas Medical Weight Loss
  • serves all 50 states, where Rivas Medical Weight Loss lists Fifteen locations across Maryland and Virginia
  • scores 71/100 against Rivas Medical Weight Loss's 55

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.

  • serves all 50 states, where Rivas Medical Weight Loss lists Fifteen locations across Maryland and Virginia
  • has an oral option if you would rather not inject
  • scores 81/100 against Rivas Medical Weight Loss's 55

RxSpan MD

Ranked #37 · Grade C

RxSpan MD is a genuinely well-disclosed service wrapped in marketing that undercuts it. The disclosure: four compounding pharmacies named with phone numbers, two lead physicians named with NPI numbers that verify as active MDs, flat pricing posted before any intake, both compounded and real FDA-approved brand GLP-1s on one platform, and oral capsules for anyone who won't inject. Compounded semaglutide is $249 a month and tirzepatide $329, with brand Zepbound at $1,069, Ozempic at $1,299 and Wegovy at $1,349. The marketing is the problem. Its testimonials still name a different company — one patient describes what she 'expected from CareGLP' — and the doctors quoted in them are not the clinicians the same page names as its medical team. The homepage is built around a board-certified plastic surgeon who founded the practice but is licensed in California only and isn't the prescriber. Its compounded prices also sit above the roster median, and the oral capsules cost the same or more than the injections.
