Alternatives to The Virtual NP

FDA warning letter #728279 (Jun. 2026), which names tryeden.com. Read live on 2026-08-26, the GLP-1 page prices compounded semaglutide at $99 a month and compounded tirzepatide at $199 — and the asterisk under both figures is the part that changes the math. It reads: price includes medication only, an active Eden Membership is required at $39 for the first month and $99 a month thereafter, and medication is not available without a membership. So this is two line items, not one, and the second one is not next to the number on the page. What Eden does give you is range: brand Zepbound, Ozempic and Mounjaro at $1,399 a month and Wegovy at $1,695, each on its own product page marked In Stock, alongside the compounded lane. It says it serves GLP-1 programs in all fifty states, and its "same price at every dose" policy means titrating up does not raise the medication line. Cancellation is self-serve in the portal, though the Terms want 48 hours' notice before a renewal and make charges non-refundable once an order is fulfilled.

The brand-access marketplace: real FDA-approved pens and oral options with insurance-style navigation — but a required video visit, a 28-day billing cycle, and prices that sit well above the compounded field.

From $133/mo semaglutide, $209/mo tirzepatide, all 50 states, and an explicit pregnancy/breastfeeding exclusion most competitors don't bother disclosing — the price just isn't flat, it's tiered by how many months you prepay.

Pallas Health removes the two things that usually cost a working parent the most time: it publishes every price before intake, and it runs care asynchronously in 43 of 50 states, so there's no video appointment to wedge into a workday. Compounded semaglutide averages about $199 a month and tirzepatide $299, and unusually the genuine FDA-approved pens sit alongside them — Zepbound $1,069, Ozempic $1,299, Wegovy and Mounjaro $1,349 — all cash-pay from the same clinician. The price is flat at every dose, so a titration never produces a surprise bill, and the plan figure already contains the clinician, dose adjustments, check-ins and messaging with no membership fee. Its cancellation terms are unusually concrete: cancel free through the portal, keep access to the end of the paid period, full refund if a clinician declines you, and a $5 processing fee on a qualifying refund. The trade-offs are that billing lands every 12 weeks in $597 and $897 blocks rather than monthly, the compounding pharmacy is never named, and insurance is never billed.

The insurance-and-brand heavyweight: a WeightWatchers-run membership that routes you toward FDA-approved product and insurance coverage, with a video visit required in some states — the membership fee and the medication bill are two separate charges.

AskRx solves the pricing question most of this page leaves open, and creates a different one. Its care fee is itemized in its own footnote — $90/month physician visit, $10/month fulfilment, $100 total — and the medication is billed separately through its own pharmacy, at cost, with both halves shown at checkout. If you have ever wondered how much of a blended monthly price is the drug and how much is margin, this is the provider that answers it. It is FDA-approved only ('No compounded meds'), so the options are the Wegovy pen, the Wegovy pill, Zepbound in pen or KwikPen form, and Foundayo, the oral tirzepatide. All 50 states, board-certified physicians with obesity-medicine training, unlimited messaging, monthly titration, cancel anytime. Two logistics notes that matter on a workday. First, $100 is a floor: no medication price is published, so your real monthly total is unknown until checkout and depends on coverage. Second — and read this one if scheduling is your constraint — 'video visits available in select states' means the async route is not universal here, so confirm your own state before assuming you can do this without a call.

A no-membership-fee, quarterly-billed program — $167/mo semaglutide, $267/mo tirzepatide — bundling a GLP-1 fitness app, meal plans, and 1-on-1 nutrition coaching that most compounded-only competitors don't offer. It also publishes its own named comparison against Ro, Mochi Health, TrimRx, and Hims, an unusually direct move for this category.

A major, highly recognizable brand — Amazon's own One Medical plus Amazon Pharmacy channel — offering FDA-approved Wegovy from $149/mo with a manufacturer coupon, plus the new oral Foundayo pill, though the $149 price depends on coupon eligibility.

A 3-month starter-bundle model — $99/mo semaglutide, $133/mo tirzepatide, medication plus shipping, consult and an injection kit included — serving all 50 states with no membership fees.
