Why trust GLP Chart.
The full credibility ledger: what we measure, who measures it, what we won't take money for, and how we handle being wrong.
How we score
Every program is scored on five pillars: pricing, cancellation, onboarding, medication options, and member feedback. Each pillar is a 0 to 10 sub-score; the overall score is the mean. The scoring rubric, the data we pull, and the verification steps for each pillar are documented on the methodology page. The rubric has not changed since 2026-04-01.
The scoring team
John Samaras, Editor (LinkedIn). Solely responsible for the editorial pillars: which programs enter the chart, which leave, and how each pillar is weighted. Based in Austin, Texas. Full-time on the GLP-1 telehealth category since 2026.
Medical reviewer: actively recruiting. Until contracted, every clinical claim on the site is sourced to a published registration trial or FDA label. The first credentialed MD or DO reviewer with no relationship to any program in the chart joins the team as a named byline on every program and condition page.
Pharmacy verification: manual purchase walkthroughs are done by the editor monthly. Each program's actual checkout flow is completed (and refunded) to verify the price + the fulfillment-pharmacy chain.
Paid placements: zero
No program has ever paid to be ranked. No program ever will. Some Visit links are affiliate (marked sponsored per FTC and Google rules). Whether a program is an affiliate partner has zero weight in the score. Rank order is locked before any commercial relationship exists. See the full GLP Chart Pledge for the seven editorial commitments.
What programs actually charge
Every monthly maintenance price on the chart was confirmed in the last 30 days by completing the program's actual checkout. No advertised number, no marketing claim. The number on the chart is the number a real card was charged. When a price moves, the change appears in the weekly What changed this week callout on /latest/ and gets a row in the corrections log.
Corrections log
When we get something wrong, we say so publicly with a date. We do not silently edit a published score or claim. The full corrections log is published with each weekly re-score. Recent corrections:
- 2026-05-12: Mochi pricing breakdown previously omitted the $20 first-month consult fee. Total monthly numbers updated; no rank change.
- 2026-05-04: Calibrate monthly fee was listed at $299 after a $100 price cut. Updated to $199. Score moved up 0.3.
- 2026-04-22: Hims compounded program incorrectly listed as “open to new patients” for 18 hours. Corrected with timestamp once we received the program's clarification.
Independence policy
GLP Chart is an independent editorial site. We do not let any program in the chart approve or preview our content before publication. We do not accept gifts, free samples, sponsored trips, consulting fees, or speaking honoraria from any program in the chart or any GLP-1 pharmaceutical manufacturer. The full policy is on the editorial independence page.
How we make money
Affiliate commissions on outbound Visit links when a reader subscribes to a program. Some programs in the chart are affiliate partners; some are not. The chart shows all of them, ranked by the same rubric. No paid placements, no sponsored content, no email-list rentals, no program-paid posts.
