Quick verdict
LifeMD is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. Mature publicly-traded telehealth with rare direct-supply deals from both Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly. Reasonable $79/mo membership floor, intro Wegovy/Ozempic at $199 for first two fills, and Zepbound vials from $349. Insurance navigation included. Money-back guarantee if member doesn't lose 10%+ in a year.
That said, Henry Meds wins on specific dimensions. Henry built the cash-pay compounded GLP-1 category and still runs the cleanest version of it. Flat monthly pricing, no labs theater, true month-to-month. Pivoted hard after the FDA shortage delisting and now leans on personalization-claim 503A pharmacies.
