The honest comparison
The gray market skips the clinician. The big brands charge $299–$500 a month. We built the honest middle: licensed-clinician care, published prices, and $0 until you're actually prescribed.
| “Research use” sellersthe gray market | Big-brand telehealthlegitimate, premium-priced | TelePepthe honest middle | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prescription required | No — "research use only" labeling sidesteps it | Yes — licensed prescriber | Yes — a licensed clinician reviews every intake individually, and can decline |
| Who dispenses it | Unverifiable sellers; no pharmacy accountable to a state board | Licensed US pharmacies | Licensed US pharmacies (503A compounding, verifiable with your state board) |
| What you pay before a clinical decision | Full price up front, no evaluation at all | Often a consult or membership fee | $0 — nothing is charged unless a clinician actually prescribes |
| Typical monthly cost | "Cheap" — with no oversight of what is actually in the vial | Typically $299–$500/mo for GLP-1 programs once introductory rates end | Microdose GLP-1 $149/mo ($134/mo annual) · Semaglutide $199/mo ($169/mo annual) · full chart below |
| Pricing transparency | Prices visible, accountability invisible | Frequently quote-based, tiered, or revealed inside the funnel | Every price public, with its billing term, on one page — before you give us anything |
| Clinical follow-up | None. You are the clinician. | Included at higher tiers, varies | Included in every plan — online follow-ups with licensed clinicians |
| The honest disclosure | Rarely made | Sometimes in fine print | Compounded medications are not FDA-approved — we say it everywhere, unprompted |
