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. Membership is $75 the first month then $149/mo ongoing. The Wegovy pill is $149/mo at starter doses and $299/mo at full doses. Steady-state total runs about $448/mo (starter months about $298, first month $224). Wegovy injection runs higher and Zepbound vials from $349. Insurance navigation included. Opt-in money-back guarantee: stay enrolled 12 months and lose at least 10% body weight, or you're eligible for a refund per posted terms.
That said, GoodRx for Weight Loss wins on specific dimensions. GoodRx turned its drug-pricing reach into a real telehealth program, with branded GLP-1 priced separately and published upfront. The subscription is $119/mo at the standard rate (it opened at a $39/mo introductory rate through January 2026). Medication runs separately: the injection is $199/mo for the first two fills then $349/mo ongoing, and the oral Wegovy pill is from $149/mo. Ongoing all-in about $468/mo. Branded only, billed in two parts, with no member outcome record yet.

Best for published two-part pricing
Buyers who want transparent, published cash pricing on both care and branded medication, from a familiar drug-pricing brand.

If cost is your main filter
LifeMD is the cheaper monthly: $298 all-in vs $418 for GoodRx for Weight Loss. That's $120 a month or $1,440a year. The 12-month math matters most if you're planning to maintain on GLP-1 long-term. If you're running a 3-month trial, the $360 delta is small against the cost of stopping early on the wrong dose. Insurance changes the picture: if either program runs prior auth and your plan covers Wegovy or Zepbound, branded with copay can beat both cash-pay totals.
If lock-in is your main filter
LifeMD (month-to-month) and GoodRx for Weight Loss (month-to-month) sit at the same cancellation tier. Read both cancellation policies directly before signing; the on-page summary covers the headline but not the deletion-of-account or refund-window edge cases.
