Pros & Cons Compared

Hone Health

Pros

+40+ biomarker lab panel included — the most comprehensive baseline testing of any GLP-1 telehealth provider
+Full health optimization platform covering hormones, longevity, and metabolic health beyond just weight loss
+Starts patients on gentler liraglutide before escalating — reduces first-week side effect severity
+Both compounded and potentially brand-name GLP-1 options available depending on clinical assessment

Cons

−Layered pricing: $65 initial consult + $149/mo membership + medication cost = $300-650/mo total — one of the most expensive options
−Select state availability — not available nationwide, and coverage varies by specific treatment program
−The $149/mo membership fee is required even before you can purchase any medication

Lemonaid Health

Pros

+2026 restructure — $49/mo Weight Loss Membership (replaces the old $25/visit model)
+6-month plan discount — compounded tirzepatide drops to $229/mo on a 6-month commitment
+Wide medication menu: compounded sema, compounded tirz, compounded microdoses ($199), brand-name Zepbound via LillyDirect ($299-449), and metformin
+Established since 2013 with physician-only prescribing and rigorous intake

Cons

−Membership and medication billed separately — the $49/mo number is just the membership, not all-in
−Brand-name Wegovy ($1,599) and Ozempic ($1,199) cash prices are high — read as access, not value
−Best compounded pricing requires a 6-month commitment
−The 23andMe acquisition created some uncertainty about the platform's long-term focus
