How We Review GLP-1 Providers

Our goal is to help you understand what a GLP-1 program will really cost and what you get for the money. This page explains exactly how we evaluate providers and collect prices, so you can judge our conclusions for yourself.

What we evaluate

We score telehealth providers and other GLP-1 options across the five categories below. Each category has a weight, and the overall score is the weighted average. Every review shows the full breakdown.

  • Cost and price transparency (30%): the total monthly cost at common doses, including membership, consultation and shipping fees, and how clearly the provider shows this before you pay
  • Medication options and sourcing (20%): whether the provider offers FDA-approved brand-name medication, compounded medication or both, how clearly compounded products are labeled, and what information is given about the dispensing pharmacy
  • Medical care and safety (20%): how eligibility is assessed, whether a licensed clinician reviews your medical history, how dosing and side effects are monitored, and access to follow-up care
  • Ease of use and access (15%): the sign-up process, how quickly treatment can start, which states are served, and insurance support
  • Customer support and policies (15%): responsiveness, cancellation and refund terms, clarity of auto-renewal, and patterns in public customer feedback

How we collect prices

  • We record prices from each provider’s public website and pricing pages and, where possible, confirm them during the sign-up flow.
  • We separate the cost of medication from membership or program fees and show the total you would actually pay each month.
  • GLP-1 doses usually increase over time, so we show prices by dose where the provider publishes them, not just the lowest introductory price.
  • Introductory offers are labeled as such, with the regular price shown alongside.
  • Every price shows the date we last verified it, and we re-check prices before featuring them prominently.

First-hand testing

Where possible, a member of our team goes through a provider’s sign-up process to document the experience, the questions asked, the timelines and the real costs. When a review is based on hands-on testing, we say so and describe what we did. When it is based only on research of public information, we say that too.

Medical accuracy

Medical statements in our reviews and guides are based on FDA labeling and peer-reviewed research, cited on the page. When a page has been reviewed by a licensed healthcare professional, their name and review date appear on the page.

What we never do

  • We do not accept payment for reviews, higher scores or better ranking positions.
  • We do not let providers see or approve reviews before publication.
  • We do not claim to have tested a service unless we actually did.
  • We do not recommend a specific medication or dose for you.

Updates

Scores and prices are updated when providers change their pricing, medication options or policies, and every review shows when it was last updated. Read our Editorial Policy and Affiliate Disclosure for more.

Our scores reflect how well a service performs on the criteria above. They are not a recommendation that any medication is right for you. Always talk to a licensed clinician, and read our Medical Disclaimer.
