Pros & Cons Compared

Fridays

Pros

+One of the few platforms that bills insurance directly — can reduce out-of-pocket to $25-50/mo with coverage
+Includes 1-on-1 nutrition coaching and weekly check-ins, not just medication prescriptions
+Offers brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound and compounded options — switches based on insurance formulary
+Flexible plans: medication-only ($249/mo) or full coaching program ($299/mo)

Cons

−The coaching-heavy model adds complexity — three different plan tiers with different inclusions
−Without insurance, $249/mo for medication-only is above average for what you get clinically

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
+Video consultations with physicians included — real face-to-face medical oversight

Cons

−Only available in 42 states — excluded from 8 states, limiting nationwide access
−Not BBB accredited, with some documented complaints about delayed medication fulfillment
−Originally a testosterone replacement therapy platform — GLP-1 is an expansion, not the core focus
