Alternatives to SurpassMD

People usually look past SurpassMD because it scores lowest on postpartum & breastfeeding guidance (20/100) in our rubric, and because both advertised prices are promotional — the FAQ says they apply "for eligible patients with a promotion" — and the non-promotional price is published nowhere.

Ro

Metabolic-Fit 84/100 · 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 SurpassMD does not
  • offers FDA-approved brand pens, not just compounded
  • scores 84/100 against SurpassMD's 34

Sesame

Metabolic-Fit 81/100 · 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.

  • publishes a price for both molecules, which SurpassMD does not
  • offers FDA-approved brand pens, not just compounded
  • scores 81/100 against SurpassMD's 34

Form Health

Metabolic-Fit 86/100 · 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 SurpassMD does not
  • offers FDA-approved brand pens, not just compounded
  • scores 86/100 against SurpassMD's 34

Gala Health

Metabolic-Fit 84/100 · Grade B

Semaglutide from $129 and tirzepatide from $179 a month, all doses included — a reasonable option if you can live with a yearly plan, a month-to-month price you only see at checkout, and a pharmacy it doesn't name.

ShedRx

Metabolic-Fit 76/100 · Grade C

The widest menu on our list — injections, sublingual lozenges, daily drops, four brand-name pens and the approved oral GLP-1 — with three compounding pharmacies named, prices published for every plan length, and cancellation terms among the most restrictive we have read.

SynergyRX

Metabolic-Fit 76/100 · Grade C

Injection offers start at $199 for semaglutide or $349 for tirzepatide, with four weekly doses, consultation and shipping shown in the public modals. Maintenance prices and purchase terms need confirmation. Oral and brand supply periods remain unconfirmed.

Found Health

Metabolic-Fit 74/100 · Grade C

The most complete set of routes on our list — a real branded lane through insurance or LillyDirect, a compounded lane priced the same at every dose, and a non-GLP-1 generics lane — undercut by a three-day refund window and a complaint pattern that sits squarely on billing.

Calibrate

Metabolic-Fit 69/100 · Grade C

Calibrate is an insurance-first program, not a cash pharmacy. You pay $199 a month for coaching, a video visit with a clinician, lab review and an app, with a three-month minimum ($597) before you can cancel. The medication is a separate bill. Its clinicians prescribe only brand-name GLP-1s (Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro, the Foundayo pill) through your insurance, and Calibrate says most commercially insured members pay $25 a month or less once the deductible is met. Without coverage or with a high deductible, that number climbs fast. It serves all 50 states and DC, lists PCOS as a qualifying condition, and will not enroll anyone pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy within the year.

Maven Clinic

Metabolic-Fit 69/100 · Grade C

A women's health company with a brand-only GLP-1 program: the membership is $39 the first month, then $150 a month, and the pharmacy bills the medication separately — Wegovy pill or Foundayo from $149, Wegovy pen from $199, Zepbound from $299. That puts the cheapest regular month at about $299 all-in. Clinicians review PCOS, perimenopause and recent pregnancy at intake, nutrition and strength coaches are included, and insurance advocates check whether your plan covers the drug. You can cancel any month with 48 hours' notice. No compounded option, and no state list is published.

  • publishes a price for both molecules, which SurpassMD does not
  • offers FDA-approved brand pens, not just compounded
  • scores 69/100 against SurpassMD's 34
