DudeMeds beats MEDGm overall, scoring 7.8/10 vs 2.7/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: DudeMeds is from $149/mo; MEDGm is from $179/mo. Choose DudeMeds for patients (men and women, despite the name) who want dead-simple all-in pricing at $199/mo with 48-hour shipping.

MEDGm

#53 of 53
2.7/10

MEDGm is a telehealth company selling compounded GLP-1 injections from $179/mo and dissolvable tablets from $249/mo, with brand-name Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic offered as a membership plus an unpublished medication cost. The compounded prices are readable before intake and the not-FDA-approved disclosure is prominent, which is more than several better-known programs manage. The gap is verification: no clinician, no pharmacy and no accreditation is named anywhere on the site or in its terms.

Pros & Cons Compared

DudeMeds

Pros

  • +Simplest all-in pricing: $199/mo flat covering medication, consultation, and free shipping, zero hidden fees
  • +48-hour medication shipping, among the fastest fulfillment times in the industry
  • +No doctor visit required in most states, maximally convenient for patients who don't want appointments
  • +Serves both men and women despite the brand name

Cons

  • No video or phone consultation in most states; providers review your intake asynchronously. Maximum convenience, but pick a platform with regular check-ins if you want closer clinical oversight.
  • Headquarters, founding date, and pharmacy partners aren't publicly disclosed. Ask support which pharmacy fills your prescription before ordering.
  • The independent review footprint is still thin, which makes patient satisfaction claims hard to verify. Treat month one as your own trial run.

MEDGm

Pros

  • +Compounded prices visible on the landing page without starting an intake
  • +Prominent, correctly-worded disclosure that compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved
  • +Cancel any time, with a published refund policy rather than a buried one
  • +Claims no accreditation it cannot support, which is rarer than it should be
  • +HSA/FSA accepted; free shipping stated

Cons

  • No medical director, prescribing clinician or medical group is named anywhere
  • No compounding pharmacy is named; the terms promise a partner list that the terms do not contain
  • Brand-name Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic are priced as a membership plus an unpublished medication cost, so no brand total can be compared
  • No lab panel is offered or required at any tier
  • The homepage claims 120,000+ patients on a domain registered 2026-04-08; we could not reconcile the two
  • A prepaid contracted term is non-refundable, and dispensed medication is never refundable
  • No third-party rating exists that we could locate and verify

Our Verdict

DudeMeds edges out MEDGm with a score of 7.8/10 vs 2.7/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: DudeMeds is from $149/mo; MEDGm is from $179/mo. MEDGm offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.

Cheapest complete recurring price in our index

Eden Health GLP-1

$99/mo month-to-month, from $34 on a plan · 6.9/10 · Both

Both DudeMeds and MEDGm start above the cheapest complete recurring program we track. Across all 53 providers in our index, the lowest price with affirmative medication, consultation, and shipping inclusion is Eden Health GLP-1 at $99/mo, price checked August 28, 2026. It scores 6.9/10 and is not the highest-scored provider in our full rankings, so this is a cost floor rather than a recommendation. Worth knowing before you decide.
