Alternatives to LifeMD

A real membership clinic that prescribes actual brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound and will fight your insurance for you — as long as you understand that the $149 everyone quotes is the membership, and the medicine is billed on top of it.

Read our full LifeMD review

LifeMD at a glance

  • LifeMD offers semaglutide and tirzepatide, including brand-name options.
  • We couldn't find a recurring medication price to quote for LifeMD, so ask for the full charge and supply length before you pay.
  • LifeMD lets you start without a live video visit.
  • Where it serves: All 50 states.

Why you might look past LifeMD

  • The $149 monthly program fee excludes medication; initial advertised medication floors are not guaranteed later-fill prices
  • Membership fees already charged are non-refundable, and the money-back guarantee needs 12 continuous months, weekly weigh-ins and every consultation attended
  • In NY, NJ and RI, LifeMD says it can't cover lab costs and doesn't sell at-home kits — so labs stop being included

Who LifeMD suits

Moms who want the FDA-approved brand product with someone else handling the insurance paperwork, and who are budgeting for a membership plus a medication bill rather than one all-in number.

Providers that work most like LifeMD

No recurring price we could quote

Hello Alpha’s $79/month Plus+ membership covers four online visits per month and provider messaging. Medication is billed separately through insurance or cash pay, so the membership price is not the full treatment cost.

  • Like LifeMD, Hello Alpha offers brand-name GLP-1 medication as well.
  • Neither Hello Alpha nor LifeMD requires a live video visit to get started.
