Visit ZealthyThe verdict
Zealthy edges out LifeMD on the Mom-Tested Score, 85 to 82 (B vs B). Moms for whom the monthly number is the whole decision, and who want the lowest verified price without a live appointment.
LifeMD is still a genuine option — the most 'real clinic' of the online-first options — there's an actual scheduled visit with a provider, which I liked for the reassurance and disliked for the calendar tetris it created around my kids. Weigh the six mom factors below against your own priorities.

LifeMD
Ranked #7 · Grade B
What we like
- A scheduled visit with a licensed provider — more oversight than a pure questionnaire
- Nationwide, established platform with a broad primary-care backbone
- Membership model bundles the ongoing check-ins, so follow-up is baked in
The caveats
- Requires a live video visit — harder to slot in around nap and daycare schedules
- Tirzepatide pricing isn't clearly disclosed up front, and there's a membership layer to factor in
- Compounded only, injection only
Zealthy
Ranked #5 · Grade B
What we like
- Cheapest verified monthly semaglutide on our shortlist — real budget relief
- Fast, mostly-async signup with the price visible before you commit
- Both molecules available, and a broad general-telehealth platform if you need other care too
The caveats
- It's a broad platform, not a GLP-1 specialty clinic — support can feel less personal
- Coverage is wide but not all 50 — confirm your state
- Compounded only, injection only
