Yucca Health beats Telos RX overall, scoring 7.7/10 vs 4.9/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Telos RX is published $99/mo; total not verified; Yucca Health is from $146/mo. Choose Telos RX for people who want one care team across weight loss, longevity and recovery and will verify plan, consultation, lab and early-cancellation charges before paying. Choose Yucca Health for people who'll commit to a 6-month plan for $146/mo, want named doctors on record, and like buy-now-pay-later flexibility (klarna/affirm/afterpay).

Telos RX

#51 of 54

4.9/10

Telos RX rebuilt itself between our July and August 2026 checks, from a four-SKU compounded GLP-1 storefront into a multi-category telehealth platform covering weight loss, longevity, recovery and sexual health. On the GLP-1 side it prescribes compounded tirzepatide, semaglutide, oral (under-the-tongue) tirzepatide formulated with ondansetron, and a microdosed tirzepatide tier. It says medication pricing does not rise with clinician-directed titration, a physician typically reviews intake within four hours, and clinical messaging is unlimited and 24/7. But the August 1 terms say consultations and ordered labs may be charged separately, including after a prescription-ineligible decision, so the $99 floor is not a verified all-in total. Prescriptions run through Arora Health Group and named pharmacies; the operating entity is Superior Health Solutions LLC.

7.7/10

Online weight-loss program by Yucca Health, Inc. (Beverly Hills, CA).

Pros & Cons Compared

Telos RX

Pros

+Flat pricing that does not increase as your dose is titrated, which is the opposite of how most compounded programs bill
+A physician typically reviews the intake within four hours, and labs can be ordered when clinically appropriate
+24/7 unlimited messaging with the clinical team, published as a standing commitment rather than a business-hours window
+Both pharmacies are named with full addresses: VialsRX at 6220 Westpark Dr, Houston TX 77057, and F&F Pharmacies Inc dba Jungle Jim's Pharmacy. Most competitors name none
+Oral tirzepatide comes formulated with ondansetron, an anti-nausea medication, built into the same dose rather than sold as a separate add-on
+Four GLP-1 formats including a needle-free daily option and a microdose tier, plus free 48-hour shipping and FSA/HSA eligibility on every plan
+One care team across metabolic, longevity, recovery and sexual health, so a patient who starts on a GLP-1 does not need a second provider later

Cons

−'Cancel anytime, no penalties' on the product pages is contradicted by the terms. Cancel a multi-month plan early and the months you already used are re-rated to the shortest plan that covers them, and you are billed the difference as a one-time charge. Their own worked example: leave a 12-month plan after three months and you are re-rated to the 3-month price
−The plan pricing that used to be fully public is now behind intake. The page shows 'as low as $99' against a struck-through $299, says your price depends on plan length, and exposes no plan selector. The month-to-month rate is not published anywhere
−The August 1 terms say consultations and ordered labs may be separately payable. Those charges may remain due even when a clinician decides you are not eligible for a prescription, so the medication floor is not an all-in quote
−LegitScript certification is claimed 22 times across the site, including in the footer trust bar, but a search of LegitScript's own registry for telosrx returned no matching record on August 12, 2026
−The homepage advertises 'Trustpilot Rated 4.9'. The actual Trustpilot profile is 4.4 from 11 reviews. The direction of the gap is small but it is the second time we have caught this same overstatement on this site
−Fees already paid are non-refundable and dispensed medication cannot be returned, exchanged or credited, including an unopened subscription cycle that has already shipped
−Availability is still unresolved. Marketing implies broad access; the terms say only that 'certain of our Services are currently only available to individuals located in certain states', with no list
−No individual clinician is named anywhere. 'Board-certified medical team' is as specific as it gets, and prescriptions route through Arora Health Group with no named medical director
−Shares the Arora Health Group medical group with Trimi Health, a white-label backend relationship neither brand discloses on its own site

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). The Klarna/Affirm/Afterpay financing exists to spread exactly that upfront cost.
−No live tele-visit option, only async review. Faster, but less depth if you have a complex health history and want a provider you can talk to.
−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, get the cancellation terms in writing before paying for the 6-month plan.
