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

Sprout Health

Pros

+Operating since 2022 with a consistent track record — no sudden pricing changes or service disruptions
+Published average weight loss outcomes: 12-15% body weight at 6 months across their patient base
+Dedicated care coordinator assigned to each patient — not a rotating pool of providers
+Transparent pricing: $250/mo covers medication, shipping, and all consultations

Cons

−$250/mo puts it in the upper-mid range — $90 more than Willow for a similar all-inclusive model
−No insurance accepted, and no superbill provided for FSA/HSA reimbursement
