Amazon One Medical
What we like
- As low as $1/day ($25/month) for brand-name Foundayo with insurance and the auto-applied Lilly coupon
- Same-day delivery in nearly 3,000 US cities at launch, expanding to 4,500 by end of 2026
- In-office pharmacist kiosks at select One Medical clinics let you walk out with Foundayo in hand
- Cash-pay $5/day ($149/month) is competitive for the same FDA-approved brand-name product
- Real-time availability, transparent pricing, and automatic manufacturer coupon at checkout
- Delivering GLP-1 medications since 2021 — track record on cold-chain logistics
Watch-outs
- Headline $25/month needs both insurance and the Lilly Savings Card — uninsured pay $149/month
- Same-day delivery is geographically gated; outside major cities it drops to next-day or slower
- Pricing is set by manufacturer savings programs and can change at any time
- No compounded options — brand-name only (Foundayo, Wegovy, Zepbound)
- Wegovy/Zepbound pricing isn't shown upfront — depends on insurance at the prescribing visit
- Copays and deductibles still apply to the clinical visit
Nova
What we like
- Every price is all-in — medication, shipping and the required Nova Care fee are in the number you see, with no separate membership line at checkout
- Three formats per molecule: weekly injection, weekly needle-free sublingual tablet, and a daily sublingual microdose
- Six compounded GLP-1 options priced $156 to $210 a month, all shown before you pay
- States its service area plainly in the footer — Texas and Florida
- iOS and Android apps for messaging your care team and tracking orders
- Free refrigerated shipping on every order and no separate consultation fee
- Discloses clearly that the FDA does not approve compounded medications
- Tells you plainly that sublingual mg are not interchangeable with injectable mg — a real safety point most sellers skip
Watch-outs
- Only available in Texas and Florida — most readers cannot buy here at all
- The two RDT tablets bundle their first months into one upfront charge: $269 for 3 months of semaglutide, $319 for 2 months of tirzepatide
- Its pricing page splits a $99 membership from medication, but checkout charges a single all-in figure, so the two do not reconcile
- The pricing page promises you are only charged if a provider prescribes, but the refund policy says membership fees are not refunded if they decline
- The refund policy still refers to patients 'located outside Texas', so it has not been updated since Florida was added
- The compounding pharmacy is described only as a state-licensed 503A facility and is never named
- Oral daily strengths are provider-selected (36 or 145 mcg) and the site does not say which you will get
