Pros & Cons

PrescrYbe

What we like

  • Five GLP-1 tiers including an oral semaglutide option and $179 microdosing for both drugs
  • Billing cadence is printed on the product card — most sites hide the 4-week cycle
  • Price shown before you start intake, not after
  • Consultation, medication and shipping bundled into one cash-pay price
  • Full refund if a provider finds you ineligible: "If you don't qualify, you don't pay"

Watch-outs

  • Charged every 4 weeks, so a year costs 13 payments, not 12 — $3,237/yr on semaglutide, not $2,988
  • Neither the prescribing medical group nor the pharmacy partner is named anywhere in the terms
  • No published state list — terms say only that some services may not be available in all states
  • Cancellation is by email to care@prescrybe.health; no self-serve cancel is documented
  • No support phone number published
  • Compounded only, and the terms confirm compounded drugs are not FDA approved

NewSelf

What we like

  • Semaglutide+ from $99.97/mo — among the lowest prices in the dataset
  • All dosages at the same price — no price escalation as dose increases
  • LegitScript certified with 503A licensed pharmacies
  • Third-party potency, sterility, and endotoxicity testing
  • 48 states + Puerto Rico coverage
  • B12/B6 + Glycine enhanced formulations
  • No membership fees

Watch-outs

  • Not available in Mississippi and Louisiana
  • Compounded only — no brand-name options
  • Site also promotes AI health optimization and longevity (broader platform)
