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, WeightWatchers Clinic wins on specific dimensions. WeightWatchers acquired Sequence and rebranded it Clinic. The clinical care is well-regarded; the 12-month commitment with no self-serve cancellation is the most punitive lock-in in the chart and the dominant source of negative member sentiment.
