Pros & Cons Compared

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

PeterMD

Pros

+Flat $165/mo at all dose levels — price doesn't increase as you titrate up to maintenance doses
+Semaglutide + B12 formulation helps reduce nausea — the most common GLP-1 side effect
+100,000+ patient base with 4.9/5 Trustpilot rating from 14,000+ reviews — strong social proof
+Video consultations with physicians included — real face-to-face medical oversight

Cons

−Only available in 42 states — excluded from 8 states, limiting nationwide access
−Not BBB accredited, with some documented complaints about delayed medication fulfillment
−Originally a testosterone replacement therapy platform — GLP-1 is an expansion, not the core focus
