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

Yucca Health

Pros

+Two named board-certified doctors (Dr. Michael Wasef MD and Dr. Andrew Sakla DO) — most compounded GLP-1 providers don't publicly name their prescribers.
+4.6 stars across 1,065 verified Trustpilot reviews — 84% give 5 stars. Top complimented theme: customer service.
+Cheap if you commit: $146/mo for compounded semaglutide on the 6-month plan.
+Buy-now-pay-later through Klarna, Affirm, and Afterpay — unusual flexibility in this category, useful for spreading the 6-month upfront cost.
+24-hour async approval — no live video visit required. Faster onboarding than competitors that need a scheduled call.
+UPS 2-Day Air shipping included. Onboarding call from a real human (multiple Trustpilot reviewers name 'Hazel' and 'Johann' from the team).
+Replies to 100% of negative Trustpilot reviews, usually within 48 hours.

Cons

−Compounded-only — no FDA-approved Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, or Mounjaro.
−The $146/mo price requires a 6-month upfront commitment. Month-to-month is meaningfully more expensive.
−No live tele-visit option — only async review. Faster, but less depth if you have a complex health history.
−Pharmacy partner not named publicly. Yucca says 'U.S. licensed pharmacies' but doesn't disclose which one.
−Founders and detailed company history not on the site.
−Refund policy is mentioned but not detailed publicly — verify the cancellation terms before paying for the 6-month plan.
