Pros & Cons Compared

Calibrate

Pros

+2026 pricing rewrite, flat $199/mo with 3-month commitment ($597 upfront), then month-to-month. The old $1,649 one-time enrollment fee was removed.
+Board-certified physicians with metabolic health specialization lead treatment
+10%+ body-weight-loss guarantee with 50% money-back if not met
+Includes labs, nutrition coaching, personalized smart scale, and sleep/exercise support

Cons

−$597 upfront (3-month commitment) is a meaningful barrier vs. month-to-month competitors
−Medication cost is separate and varies significantly by payer route
−Fewer medications in the menu than larger marketplaces like Ro or Found
−Onboarding still takes 2-3 weeks to complete baseline labs and treatment plan

PeterMD

Pros

+Flat $165/mo at all dose levels, price doesn't increase as you titrate up to maintenance doses
+100,000+ patient base with 4.9/5 Trustpilot rating from 14,000+ reviews, strong social proof
+Semaglutide + B12 formulation helps reduce nausea, the most common GLP-1 side effect
+Video consultations with physicians included, real face-to-face medical oversight

Cons

−Available in 42 states, not all 50 (8 states are excluded). Check your state during signup before planning around PeterMD.
−Not BBB accredited, and some documented complaints cite delayed medication fulfillment. Order refills ahead of your last dose rather than at the last minute.
−PeterMD began as a testosterone replacement therapy platform; GLP-1 is an expansion, not the original core. The included video consultations give you a direct read on the clinical team.
