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

Telos RX

Pros

+Flat pricing across all doses, $0 consult fee, free 2-day shipping, FSA/HSA accepted
+Four compounded formats: injectable tirzepatide, injectable semaglutide, sublingual tirzepatide drops, and an explicitly priced microdose tier, format breadth most new storefronts don't offer
+Compounding pharmacy named: VialsRX, a 503A pharmacy in Houston, TX, most competitors don't name theirs
+Cheap committed rates: $169/mo semaglutide and $129/mo sublingual tirzepatide drops on 12-month plans
+A month-to-month option exists ($249/mo semaglutide), the safer way in given the early-cancel clawback on multi-month plans

Cons

−The company is about 10 weeks old, telosrx.com was registered April 20, 2026. There is no operating track record to evaluate
−Homepage claims 'Trustpilot 4.9', the actual Trustpilot page shows 4.0 from only 3 reviews (verified July 2, 2026). That mismatch is a trust problem on its own
−No physical address published anywhere on the site
−LegitScript certification claimed but we could not verify it against LegitScript's registry
−Site testimonials look templated, we could not verify they come from real customers
−Marketing claims all 50 states, but the terms say 'certain states' with no list, we could not confirm where Telos actually operates
−'Cancel anytime, no penalties' product copy is contradicted by the terms: cancelling a multi-month plan early triggers a re-rating clawback, you are re-billed at the higher month-to-month rate for the months already used
−No named clinicians, no labs, no published clinical infrastructure of any kind, prescriptions route through the Arora Health medical group with no individual providers disclosed
−Shares its medical group (Arora Health) and pharmacy (VialsRX) with Trimi Health, a white-label backend relationship neither brand discloses on its own site

Our Verdict

Fridays edges out Telos RX with a score of 8.7/10 vs 4/10. Fridays accepts insurance, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Fridays offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility. Choose Fridays if you want: users who want a holistic program with coaching, nutrition support, and flexible pricing. Choose Telos RX if you want: price-sensitive patients who want flat-dose compounded pricing in multiple formats (injectable, sublingual drops, microdose) and are comfortable betting on a brand-new company with no track record yet.
