Quick verdict
GoodRx for Weight Loss is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. 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.
That said, PlushCare wins on specific dimensions. PlushCare is a primary-care telehealth platform that happens to prescribe GLP-1s, not a GLP-1 specialist. That distinction makes it the strongest pick for the insured and the most expensive for everyone else.

When to choose PlushCare
Best for insurance-covered branded
Patients with commercial insurance that covers Wegovy or Zepbound. PlushCare's PCPs handle prior authorization paperwork well.
PlushCare wins on onboarding experience on the dimensional scoring. The caveat: Cash-pay patients comparing on monthly cost. The membership + visit fees + cash medication math is rarely competitive against specialists.
When to choose GoodRx for Weight Loss
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.
GoodRx for Weight Loss wins on pricing transparency, cancellation terms, member reviews and runs $130/mo cheaper than PlushCare at the entry tier ($418 vs $548). Over a year that's $1,560 you keep. The caveat: Anyone wanting a compounded option, an all-in single price, or a long member-review track record.
If cost is your main filter
GoodRx for Weight Loss is the cheaper monthly: $418 all-in vs $548 for PlushCare. That's $130 a month or $1,560a 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 $390 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
PlushCare (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.
