Every review and head-to-head comparison on this site is built on the same repeatable, evidence-first process. Here’s exactly how we evaluate each weight loss provider, where our information comes from, and how we keep it accurate.
Last updated: Aug 16, 2026
We rate every provider on a weighted evaluation across six core categories. The weighting reflects what matters most for a safe, affordable, and effective GLP-1 weight loss program.
Medical Credibility
Licensed provider oversight, quality of the medical evaluation, ongoing monitoring, pharmacy standards, and any third-party certifications (e.g. LegitScript).
Medication Access
Range of GLP-1 options offered (semaglutide, tirzepatide, brand-name), formulations, and dosing flexibility.
Pricing & Value
Total monthly cost including medication, consultations, and delivery - plus pricing transparency and the absence of hidden fees.
Patient Experience
Enrollment speed, interface quality, support responsiveness, delivery reliability, and recent verified customer feedback.
Clinical Support
Follow-up consultations, dose adjustments, side-effect management, and ongoing guidance through treatment.
Flexibility
Contract terms, cancellation and pause policies, ability to switch medications, and payment options.
Every price on this site comes from one verified registry, and every entry records four things: the headline rate, the regular rate behind any promotion, the condition attached (plan length, first-month rate, prepaid term), and the shipping terms. A number is never published without its condition. The rows below are pulled live from that registry - the same data our reviews, comparisons and cost tables render from:
| Provider | Semaglutide, as recorded | Condition on record | Customer record |
|---|---|---|---|
| wellmedr | $59/mo | 12-month plan; locked for life | Trustpilot 4.7 across 1,205 reviews |
| embody | $69/mo | reg. $79; month-to-month | Trustpilot 3.8 across 4,956 reviews |
| altRx | $89/mo | reg. $199; flat at every dose | No published aggregate - we say so rather than invent one |
| Medvi | $99/mo | promo; reg. $199 - all-inclusive | Trustpilot 4.4 across 14,372 reviews |
When a provider changes its published pricing, the registry is updated once and every affected page - reviews, head-to-heads, cost tables, product cards - re-renders from it. The full ranking is on our cheapest-GLP-1 index.
Within the six weighted factors, these are the specific signals that consistently move a provider up or down in our evaluations:
Earns points
Costs points
No invented ratings, ever. If a provider has no published Trustpilot aggregate, our pages say exactly that - we never estimate or fabricate a score. Partner status doesn’t change this: our top-rated partner’s review openly discusses its 3.8 average.
Every promo carries its regular rate. Promotional prices are always published alongside the regular rate and the condition (“first month only”, “12-month plan”, “prepaid at checkout”), and our 12-month cost tables apply those conditions exactly as published.
Community feedback is verified, not scraped. The “What Reddit says” sections on our reviews are built only from real public threads we’ve independently verified - quotes lightly trimmed, vote counts shown only as captured, gripes included alongside praise.
Medical claims cite primary sources. Clinical figures reference the published STEP and SURMOUNT trials (NEJM) and FDA prescribing information, cited at the bottom of every medical page - never blog folklore.
We don’t republish what we can’t verify. Claims circulating about providers - regulatory actions, corporate relationships - appear on our pages only after independent verification, no matter who they help or hurt.
Our evaluations only carry weight if the underlying information is real. We draw on four sources for every provider:
We pull pricing, medications, shipping, and the medical model directly from each provider's official website and landing pages - so what you read here matches what you'll see when you enroll.
We read current Trustpilot reviews to gauge real-world customer experience - communication, delivery, and support - not just marketing claims.
Our editors independently walk enrollment flows, compare pricing side by side, and track how each provider's offering changes over time.
Medical claims reference published trial data (such as STEP and SURMOUNT) and FDA information - not opinion.
We don’t make things up.Prices, medications, shipping times, and medical details are taken from each provider’s own official sources. We don’t invent figures, name medications a provider doesn’t offer, or attach clinical claims that aren’t supported.
We update when providers change.Pricing and offerings in this space move quickly. When a provider changes its plans, we revise the affected reviews and comparisons and refresh their “last updated” date.
We separate fact from experience. Objective details (price, delivery, medications) are reported as fact; customer sentiment is clearly attributed to reviews; and our own take is presented as editorial analysis.
Each provider earns an overall score on a 10-point scale, translated into a plain-English label - from Exceptional at the top through Excellent and Very Good. A score reflects the weighted result across the six factors above. Strong transparent pricing, credible medical oversight, and consistently positive recent customer feedback move a score up; hidden fees, thin medical support, or recurring complaints move it down.
In a head-to-head comparison we score the two providers category by category - pricing, medical support, medication options, speed, and customer experience. The provider that wins the majority of categories takes the matchup, and the advantage meter reflects how decisive that edge is. We always name the runner-up’s genuine strengths, because the “better” provider still depends on what you value most.
We continuously monitor provider pricing and offerings, new clinical data, and recent customer reviews, and revise our rankings, reviews, and comparisons as things change. Each review and comparison shows when it was last updated.
Independent rankings. Our rankings and reviews are determined by the evaluation criteria on this page - not by commercial relationships.
Transparent about affiliates. Some providers compensate us through affiliate partnerships when you click through and sign up. This may affect how providers are displayed, but it does not influence our scores or the content of our reviews. See our full disclaimer.
The independent researchers and editors behind our provider comparisons and reviews. Every ranking and review is produced and checked by this team.
Editorial & Research
Our independent research team compares weight-loss providers across pricing, medications, medical oversight, and real customer experience. We update our analysis regularly and rank providers on the evidence - not on who pays us.
Clinical Content Reviewer
Every provider review and comparison is checked for accuracy and clarity before it publishes, and revisited as programs, pricing, and medications change.
treatmentshub.com is not a medical provider and does not prescribe medications. The information on this site is for educational and comparison purposes only and should not replace professional medical advice. GLP-1 medications are prescription drugs that require evaluation and supervision by a licensed healthcare provider. Always consult a qualified physician before starting any weight loss medication. Individual results vary.
Whenever a provider changes its published rates. All prices live in one verified registry, so a single update re-renders every affected page - reviews, comparisons, cost tables and product cards - and each page displays its last-updated date.
No. Partnerships can affect how providers are displayed, but never scores, review content, or head-to-head winners. Our verdicts regularly favor the cheaper or better-documented provider in a matchup, and our reviews cite real Trustpilot records - including mixed ones - for partners and non-partners alike.
Because they don't publish one, and we never invent or estimate a score. Where no aggregate exists, our pages say so explicitly and rely on the individual reviews we can verify plus the provider's published terms.
From each provider's published rates with promo conditions applied exactly as published: first-month rates roll to the regular price from month two, plan-locked rates are labeled with their commitment, and prepaid plans show the checkout amount. The assumptions are printed under every table.
