Kova
What we like
- Publishes the full price ladder for all three plan terms — intro month and renewal rate — directly in its FAQ
- Medication is included in the plan price, with no separate pharmacy charge
- States plainly that its compounded GLP-1s are 'not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality'
- Companion app tracks weight, protein and side effects, with medication schedule reminders
- You are not charged unless a provider approves treatment
- Names its legal entity (LifeTech Apps Inc, a Delaware corporation) in its terms
Watch-outs
- At $449 per 4 weeks, the standing 1-month plan is among the most expensive compounded GLP-1 options we track
- The advertised $129 is the 6-month plan's intro month only — that plan then renews at $1,794 every 24 weeks
- Billed every 4 weeks rather than monthly, which is 13 charges a year instead of 12
- Never names which GLP-1 molecule is dispensed — only 'compounded, non-FDA-approved GLP-1 medications'
- No pharmacy or prescribing medical group is named anywhere on the site
- No public list of states served — 'availability varies by state'
- Terms impose binding arbitration and a class-action waiver; cancelling stops future charges but does not guarantee a refund
- The operator states it is not a healthcare provider or pharmacy — it routes to independent third parties
EverSlim
What we like
- Transparent flat pricing from 127 dollars a month for compounded semaglutide; medication, provider visit, and shipping included with no insurance.
- Names its pharmacy partners (EPIQ Scripts, Foothills, Emerald) and DrTelx medical group; LegitScript-approved and NABP-accredited.
- Available in all 50 states and DC, with asynchronous care in 44 states and live-visit access in the rest.
- Offers both semaglutide and tirzepatide, plus care-team messaging between visits.
Watch-outs
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, and no brand-name Wegovy, Ozempic, or Zepbound options are offered.
- Site discloses that some imagery and content may be AI-generated and some ad figures are actors, not real clinicians.
- Newer brand with limited independent, third-party review history.
