Telos Rx
Ranked #12 · Grade B−
What we like
- Fully asynchronous, five-minute intake with prescriptions often reviewed within hours
- Needle-free sublingual tirzepatide plus a microdosed 'gentlest start' tier — an unusually flexible menu
- Quarterly labs, free 2-day shipping, and cancel-anytime from the portal
The caveats
- The '$49/$99' prices are first-month 'from' rates — the ongoing monthly isn't published, and some rates reference a 12-month plan
- States served aren't disclosed anywhere on the site
- Fees are non-refundable, no compounding pharmacy is named, and the independent review footprint is thin
Strut Health
Ranked #11 · Grade B−
What we like
- Fully asynchronous — no video visit or phone call, ~3 days to a first prescription
- Both molecules in oral OR injectable form, from a low starting price with a cancel-anytime, month-to-month plan
- Free shipping and the medication, consult, and physician access rolled into one cash price
The caveats
- February 2026 FDA warning letter (misbranding) — read it before starting
- Maintenance-dose pricing isn't published, so the low 'starting' rate isn't the ongoing cost
- Not available in Louisiana or Mississippi, cash-pay only (no HSA/FSA), and no named pharmacy
