April 2026 editorial picks

Three providers, three reasons to pick them

Our editors' top recommendations for different patient priorities. Scores are calculated using our published 5-criteria methodology — never adjusted for revenue.

Best for no-commitment
Henry Meds
Async telehealth at a flat $149/mo with no subscription lock-in. Easiest path for patients who want to try compounded semaglutide without long-term commitment.

Our differentiator · introduced April 2026

Every provider gets a Risk Score

A 0-100 measure of how transparent and safe a provider is on the things that actually matter: pharmacy disclosure, prescriber credentials, pricing transparency, titration support, and cancellation terms. Calculated from public data only. No subjective opinions.

80-100 · LOW RISK
Pharmacy named, prescriber visible, all-in pricing
Provider names their 503A/503B compounding pharmacy, lists prescriber credentials, publishes flat pricing including titration, and has a clear cancellation policy.
60-79 · MEDIUM RISK
Some opacity, but mainstream and traceable
Provider has at least one missing transparency factor — often an undisclosed pharmacy partner or a price that escalates with dose increases — but is otherwise in line with industry norms.
0-59 · HIGH RISK
Multiple red flags, exercise caution
Pharmacy not disclosed, prescriber credentials hidden, pricing requires consultation to reveal, or active patient complaints about cancellation difficulty.

How the Risk Score is calculated

Pharmacy transparency (503A/503B disclosure, license verifiable)
30%
Prescriber credentials (MD/DO/NP listed, state license shown)
25%
Pricing transparency (all-in cost shown pre-checkout)
20%
Titration support (documented dosing schedule)
15%
Cancellation terms (no hidden lock-in, cancel pre-paid plans)
10%
How to read the Risk Score: a higher score means we found fewer red flags using our standardized 5-factor audit. It is not a measure of clinical efficacy or weight loss results — for that, see our clinical research and editorial scores. Risk Scores are recalculated weekly from public data.
How we're different

We work for patients, not providers

Most comparison sites are paid affiliate networks dressed up as editorial. We disclose our model and isolate it from our scoring — every step.

No paid placements
Rankings are 100% editorial. No provider — including NexLife — pays for position or favorable treatment. Scores are calculated using a fixed published formula.
Full transparency
Every data point is sourced from public information. Our methodology is published, our weights are fixed, and corrections are republished within 7 days.
Updated weekly
Pricing and provider details are verified through live checkout audits — not by reading marketing pages. If a provider changes their pricing, we notice within 7 days.
Patient-first
Built for patients comparing options — not for providers marketing services. We disclose our affiliate relationship, but it never determines what we recommend.
Simple process

Find the right provider in three steps

Compare providers in minutes. No sign-ups, no affiliate funnel, no spam.

1
Search by what you need
Tell us your medication, your state, and whether you have insurance. We filter the provider list down to what actually applies — no generic results, no ads.
2
Compare side by side
See real pricing, dosing protocols, prescriber credentials, and Risk Scores in one place. Every data point is sourced directly from the provider — not their marketing team.
3
Decide with the full picture
Read what patients at month 3, month 6, and beyond have to say. Then choose a provider knowing exactly what you're signing up for and what it will cost.
Patient safety

Not all GLP-1 providers are equal

The telehealth boom has made GLP-1 access faster and cheaper. It has also made it easier to end up with a provider who cuts corners on the things that matter. Here are the red flags we audit for.

Unlicensed or unverified compounding pharmacies
Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide can only be legally dispensed by a licensed 503A or 503B compounding pharmacy. If a provider won't name their pharmacy or let you verify its license, that is a problem.
No prescriber consultation before dispensing
A GLP-1 prescription requires a licensed prescriber to evaluate your health history. Any provider that skips a real consultation — not a checkbox intake form — is not practicing within accepted standards.
Hidden cancellation fees or lock-in terms
Some providers bury cancellation requirements in fine print. Before you sign up, check: what happens if you want to stop? How much notice do they require, and what are you charged?
No titration guidance or dosing support
GLP-1 medications are typically started at a low dose and increased over weeks or months. A provider that ships medication without a titration schedule is leaving you without support.
"Peptides" marketed without FDA context
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are FDA-approved medications. Compounded versions are permitted under specific conditions. Providers that obscure their regulatory status are often doing so to create distance from that context.
No upfront pricing
You should be able to see the full monthly cost — including medication, prescriber fee, and shipping — before entering your credit card. If pricing requires a "consultation" to reveal, that is a sales funnel, not a care model.
