Pros & Cons Compared

Hone Health

Pros

  • +50+ 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
  • +Free shipping on every medication order, and the Premium membership includes retesting and physician follow-ups every 90 days
  • +You can pause the membership for up to 3 months instead of cancelling, and the cancellation and refund terms are published in full

Cons

  • Costs stack: $65 for the initial biomarker test and consult, then $155 a month for the Premium membership that GLP-1 prescriptions require, plus $160 a month for compounded liraglutide, so about $315 a month once you are on treatment
  • Select state availability, not available nationwide, and coverage varies by specific treatment program
  • A membership is required before you can buy any medication, and every product page prices the drug separately as a monthly cost plus membership

MEDVi

Pros

  • +One of the few compounded providers offering both oral tablets and injectable semaglutide
  • +The landing page says the program is HSA and FSA eligible and includes dietician visits and care coaching, with a footnote making that subject to insurance and copay eligibility
  • +Sleek onboarding experience with clear progress tracking through their patient portal
  • +$179 covers the first month of compounded semaglutide on MEDVi's landing page, including physician review, the personalized plan, medication and free shipping

Cons

  • FDA warning letter #721455, issued February 20, 2026, cites misleading labeling and marketing that implied MEDVi compounded the drugs and that compounded products were equivalent to or FDA-evaluated like approved brands. The letter does not allege unsafe medication
  • Its third-party records conflict: 4.3 out of 5 across 14,680 Trustpilot reviews with 12 percent of them at one star, against an F and no accreditation at the BBB
  • The $179 semaglutide price covers month one only; the FAQ on MEDVi's own landing page says refills are locked in at $299 a month, making the first year $3,468 rather than $2,148
  • Brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound paths add a $99 membership plus a medication cost the page does not publish, and the same page's hero says "No membership or hidden fees!" directly above those cards; availability is subject to change
  • No insurance accepted, and oral compounded semaglutide has less clinical data than injectable forms

Our Verdict

Hone Health edges out MEDVi with a score of 7.3/10 vs 5.7/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Hone Health is $155/mo membership + medication; MEDVi is $179 first month, then $299/mo. MEDVi offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.

Cheapest complete recurring price in our index

Eden Health GLP-1

$99/mo month-to-month, from $34 on a plan · 6.9/10 · Both

Both Hone Health and MEDVi start above the cheapest complete recurring program we track. Across all 54 providers in our index, the lowest price with affirmative medication, consultation, and shipping inclusion is Eden Health GLP-1 at $99/mo, price checked August 28, 2026. It scores 6.9/10 and is not the highest-scored provider in our full rankings, so this is a cost floor rather than a recommendation. Worth knowing before you decide.
