Pros & Cons Compared

bmiMD

Pros

+Same-day physician consults, one of the few platforms offering telehealth appointments the same day you apply
+80,000+ customer base with 4.9-star Trustpilot rating provides strong social proof of reliability
+100% money-back guarantee if your consultation determines you don't qualify for GLP-1 treatment
+HSA/FSA accepted for all programs

Cons

−Standard semaglutide pricing is $289/mo, above competitors at $99-199/mo; the TAKEOFF 3-month entry (about $99/mo first month) and annual plans from $99/mo bring the effective rate down
−$29.99 shipping fee per order where most competitors ship free; factor it into your monthly total
−A $50 non-refundable cancellation fee applies after intake approval; decide before the consult, and cancel at least 48 hours ahead of your monthly processing date

MyStart Health

Pros

+Price Lock Guarantee ensures your monthly rate never increases even as your GLP-1 dose escalates, a genuine differentiator
+Competitive pricing at $149-$179/mo for compounded semaglutide with free shipping included
+Access to 600+ board-certified doctors with unlimited clinician messaging at no additional cost
+HSA/FSA eligible, can use pre-tax health savings to pay for treatment

Cons

−Cash-pay only, no insurance accepted. If your plan covers GLP-1s, price that route first; HSA/FSA cards do work here
−Select states only, not all 50, and the exact list isn't published. Confirm your state during the intake quiz before paying
−Compounded medications only, no brand-name GLP-1 option on the menu
