MangoRx beats MEDGm overall, scoring 7.5/10 vs 2.7/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: MangoRx is from $299/mo; MEDGm is from $179/mo. Choose MangoRx for needle-phobic users who want oral-only glp-1 tablets from a publicly traded company.

Multi-service telehealth platform offering compounded GLP-1 alongside other health services.

MEDGm

#53 of 53

2.7/10

MEDGm is a telehealth company selling compounded GLP-1 injections from $179/mo and dissolvable tablets from $249/mo, with brand-name Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic offered as a membership plus an unpublished medication cost. The compounded prices are readable before intake and the not-FDA-approved disclosure is prominent, which is more than several better-known programs manage. The gap is verification: no clinician, no pharmacy and no accreditation is named anywhere on the site or in its terms.

Pros & Cons Compared

MangoRx

Pros

+Oral dissolving tablets exclusively, zero injections for any GLP-1 option
+Publicly traded on NASDAQ (MGRX), SEC-required financial transparency that private competitors can't match
+Semaglutide tablet includes Vitamin B6 to help reduce nausea during treatment
+Free 100% online consultation with no video call required

Cons

−Oral semaglutide at $299/mo runs 2-3x injectable alternatives ($99-149/mo). The premium only makes sense if needles are a hard no for you.
−Early-stage public company with limited revenue; the same SEC filings that provide transparency also show the financial uncertainty reflected in the stock.
−Oral tablets are the only format, with no injectable option if you want higher bioavailability. If you may switch to injections later, pick a platform that carries both.

MEDGm

Pros

+Compounded prices visible on the landing page without starting an intake
+Prominent, correctly-worded disclosure that compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved
+Cancel any time, with a published refund policy rather than a buried one
+Claims no accreditation it cannot support, which is rarer than it should be
+HSA/FSA accepted; free shipping stated

Cons

−No medical director, prescribing clinician or medical group is named anywhere
−No compounding pharmacy is named; the terms promise a partner list that the terms do not contain
−Brand-name Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic are priced as a membership plus an unpublished medication cost, so no brand total can be compared
−No lab panel is offered or required at any tier
−The homepage claims 120,000+ patients on a domain registered 2026-04-08; we could not reconcile the two
−A prepaid contracted term is non-refundable, and dispensed medication is never refundable
−No third-party rating exists that we could locate and verify

Our Verdict

MangoRx edges out MEDGm with a score of 7.5/10 vs 2.7/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: MangoRx is from $299/mo; MEDGm is from $179/mo. MEDGm 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 MangoRx and MEDGm start above the cheapest complete recurring program we track. Across all 53 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.
