Telos RX

#51 of 54
4.9/10

Telos RX rebuilt itself between our July and August 2026 checks, from a four-SKU compounded GLP-1 storefront into a multi-category telehealth platform covering weight loss, longevity, recovery and sexual health. On the GLP-1 side it prescribes compounded tirzepatide, semaglutide, oral (under-the-tongue) tirzepatide formulated with ondansetron, and a microdosed tirzepatide tier. It says medication pricing does not rise with clinician-directed titration, a physician typically reviews intake within four hours, and clinical messaging is unlimited and 24/7. But the August 1 terms say consultations and ordered labs may be charged separately, including after a prescription-ineligible decision, so the $99 floor is not a verified all-in total. Prescriptions run through Arora Health Group and named pharmacies; the operating entity is Superior Health Solutions LLC.

Pros & Cons Compared

GoodRx Care

Pros

  • +2026 subscription rewrite, $119/mo standard membership with medication priced among the lowest on the market
  • +Wegovy/Ozempic intro pricing ($199/mo for first 2 fills) is market-leading for brand-name access
  • +Oral Wegovy pill available at $149-199/mo, one of the cheapest oral semaglutide routes
  • +Insurance accepted, GoodRx's integration with savings cards can stack with coverage

Cons

  • Model changed from pay-per-visit to subscription, users expecting à-la-carte pricing should double-check current terms
  • Compounded GLP-1s are de-emphasized on current marketing, may no longer be available
  • Subscription model means ongoing monthly fee even in maintenance months
  • Follow-up clinical care is still basic compared to dedicated GLP-1 platforms

Telos RX

Pros

  • +Flat pricing that does not increase as your dose is titrated, which is the opposite of how most compounded programs bill
  • +A physician typically reviews the intake within four hours, and labs can be ordered when clinically appropriate
  • +24/7 unlimited messaging with the clinical team, published as a standing commitment rather than a business-hours window
  • +Both pharmacies are named with full addresses: VialsRX at 6220 Westpark Dr, Houston TX 77057, and F&F Pharmacies Inc dba Jungle Jim's Pharmacy. Most competitors name none
  • +Oral tirzepatide comes formulated with ondansetron, an anti-nausea medication, built into the same dose rather than sold as a separate add-on
  • +Four GLP-1 formats including a needle-free daily option and a microdose tier, plus free 48-hour shipping and FSA/HSA eligibility on every plan
  • +One care team across metabolic, longevity, recovery and sexual health, so a patient who starts on a GLP-1 does not need a second provider later

Cons

  • 'Cancel anytime, no penalties' on the product pages is contradicted by the terms. Cancel a multi-month plan early and the months you already used are re-rated to the shortest plan that covers them, and you are billed the difference as a one-time charge. Their own worked example: leave a 12-month plan after three months and you are re-rated to the 3-month price
  • The plan pricing that used to be fully public is now behind intake. The page shows 'as low as $99' against a struck-through $299, says your price depends on plan length, and exposes no plan selector. The month-to-month rate is not published anywhere
  • The August 1 terms say consultations and ordered labs may be separately payable. Those charges may remain due even when a clinician decides you are not eligible for a prescription, so the medication floor is not an all-in quote
  • LegitScript certification is claimed 22 times across the site, including in the footer trust bar, but a search of LegitScript's own registry for telosrx returned no matching record on August 12, 2026
  • The homepage advertises 'Trustpilot Rated 4.9'. The actual Trustpilot profile is 4.4 from 11 reviews. The direction of the gap is small but it is the second time we have caught this same overstatement on this site
  • Fees already paid are non-refundable and dispensed medication cannot be returned, exchanged or credited, including an unopened subscription cycle that has already shipped
  • Availability is still unresolved. Marketing implies broad access; the terms say only that 'certain of our Services are currently only available to individuals located in certain states', with no list
  • No individual clinician is named anywhere. 'Board-certified medical team' is as specific as it gets, and prescriptions route through Arora Health Group with no named medical director
  • Shares the Arora Health Group medical group with Trimi Health, a white-label backend relationship neither brand discloses on its own site

Our Verdict

GoodRx Care edges out Telos RX with a score of 6.2/10 vs 4.9/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: GoodRx Care is $119/mo subscription + medication; Telos RX is published $99/mo; total not verified. GoodRx Care accepts insurance, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
