Top weight loss programs compared

About Top weight loss programs compared

The weight loss programs category holds 38 brands, and the profiles below narrow that field to the ones that hold up on what readers weigh most: the price of a plan, what the plan actually includes, and which market it can legally ship to. Price splits into two pieces here. The monthly plan figure is the recurring number, while a consultation fee is charged on top at some brands and folded in at others, so a service that looks free at entry can still add a cost per visit. That gap is the main trade-off in the list, and it is why plan price and consultation price are scored as separate inputs. Reach matters just as much: DE, GB and BR each serve a single market outside the US, while US and PR covers two, so a US price says nothing to a reader in Germany or Brazil. Every price below sits next to the plan it belongs to, and every limit is given the way the brand states it.

How we picked

Cost carries a score weight of 40%, offer carries 40% and trust carries 20%, so the monthly money and the contents of the plan decide the order, and the trust signals settle close calls. Cost was read as two separate inputs, the monthly plan price and the consultation fee, because a free plan with a paid visit each time is a different offer from a monthly fee with the consultation inside it. Offer was scored on the services a brand lists for weight loss, whether a clinician can prescribe, and how quickly a first appointment can happen. Trust was scored on the legal entity behind the site, the money back window, the support channels on offer, and whether insurance is accepted. Figures come from what each brand publishes: offer pages, terms and conditions, refund policies and app store listings, taken as published. Partners are listed first, and everything after them follows on score alone. The category itself covers 38 brands.

Our top picks

1. 1. FeelGood GLP-1

   FeelGood GLP-1 holds its place in this ranking on the same commercial terms as the entry above: a $89 monthly plan, 72 days of money back cover, free delivery and 24 7 access to doctor and nurse practitioner. Weight loss is one of four listed services, and support runs on email, phone and help centre, so a repeat prescription is handled in the same place as the consultation. Insurance accepted is a no, which leaves the monthly figure as a direct cost. DocMorris, ranked next, inverts that balance: a free plan price, a €38.87 consultation, chat in the support mix and insurance accepted in DE.

   • Plan price per month: $89
   • Insurance accepted: No
   • Fastest appointment: 24 7

   Pros

   • A mobile app, which 94.6% of the brands on site also offer, keeps intake and repeat prescriptions on a phone.
   • Free delivery, shared by 79.1% of the brands compared here, so the monthly figure carries no shipping charge.
   • 72 days to change your mind, well beyond the site median return window, 30 days.
   • Support runs on email, phone and help centre, and phone lines appear on 67.5% of the brands on site, so a direct call is a normal option.
   • A tighter service list than DocMorris, whose cover runs to online gp, prescriptions and pharmacy, keeps the plan aimed at weight loss and general prescribing.

   Cons

   • Insurance is not accepted, so the FeelGood GLP-1 plan at $89 a month is paid in full by the member.
   • The service runs in US only, so anyone based outside the US cannot use it.
   • Cover stops at online gp, prescriptions and weight loss, with no pharmacy, skin, hair loss or menopause care, where Pague Menos covers online gp, pharmacy and prescriptions.
   • The clinical team is doctor and nurse practitioner, so medication and diet questions go to the same prescribers rather than a dedicated pharmacist.

2. 2. FeelGood ED: best for top-pick

   FeelGood ED earns the top pick in this ranking by pairing a $89 monthly plan with a money back window of 72 days, free delivery and 24 7 access to a doctor or nurse practitioner. Weight loss sits alongside online GP appointments, prescriptions and sexual health in online gp, prescriptions and weight loss, so repeat check ins and repeat prescriptions happen in the same place, and support runs on email, phone and help centre. The figure to budget is the monthly one, because insurance accepted is a no and the plan is paid directly. FeelGood GLP-1, ranked next, carries the identical plan price, refund window and clinician mix, so the choice between them comes down to which programme you actually want rather than price.

   • Plan price per month: $89
   • Insurance accepted: No
   • Fastest appointment: 24 7

   Pros

   • A money-back window of 72 days lowers the risk of joining a membership you do not want.
   • Consultations come from doctor and nurse practitioner, so weight loss and sexual health requests are not limited to general physicians.
   • Availability of 24 7 lets you ask for a consultation outside normal office hours.
   • Free delivery, a mobile app and online gp, prescriptions and weight loss under one recurring plan keep the everyday side simple.
   • Support on email, phone and help centre means a phone line and email rather than a form only.

   Cons

   • Insurance accepted is listed as no, so anyone in US pays for consultations and prescriptions without claiming anything back.
   • DocMorris covers a longer list, online gp, prescriptions and pharmacy, so a need that runs past weight loss and sexual health is better served there.
   • WeightWatchers adds a pharmacy service and menopause cover to the same medical and weight loss mix online gp, prescriptions and pharmacy, while this service list stops at online gp, prescriptions and weight loss.
   • At $89 a month the plan sits at position 25 of 37 on monthly plan price, so it is a mid-priced membership rather than a low-cost entry point.

3. 6. HealSend

   HealSend sits in this ranking with the longest cover of any program listed, a money back window of 365 days, and a consultation priced at $0. Availability is same day, clinicians are listed as doctors under doctor, and delivery is included. The catch is the monthly plan price of $129 to $299, the highest figure listed in US dollars among the members here, and insurance is not accepted. Its service list, online gp, prescriptions and weight loss, covers weight loss and sexual health without a pharmacy service, so medication is prescribed rather than dispensed in house. ZAVA, next in line, covers a wider list at £49.

   • Consultation price: $0
   • Plan price per month: $129 to $299
   • Insurance accepted: No

   Pros

   • The consultation price is $0, and HealSend ranks 1 of 34 brands on that measure.
   • Services cover online gp, prescriptions and weight loss, so doctor visits, prescriptions, weight loss and sexual health sit under one plan.
   • Appointments are same day, so a new symptom can be raised the day it appears.
   • Delivery is free and the money back window is 365 days, so a plan carries a long exit.
   • Support runs on email, chat and phone, with phone, chat, email and a community space.

   Cons

   • The monthly plan price of $129 to $299 a month sits above the FeelGood ED plan at $89, and that gap repeats at each renewal.
   • Insurance accepted is no, so nothing is claimed back through an existing policy.
   • Clinicians are doctor only, so there is no nurse practitioner or pharmacist for diet or medication review.
   • Markets are listed as US, so the service is built for a single market rather than a spread of countries.

4. 9. WeightWatchers

   WeightWatchers takes this slot because it is one of the few entries combining a modest paid plan with dietitian input. The plan price is $12 a month and doctor and dietitian cover the medical side, which is unusual at that level. Weight loss sits with an online GP, prescriptions, a pharmacy and menopause care in online gp, prescriptions and pharmacy, 24 7 access keeps appointments open, and insurance accepted is a yes. The company behind it dates back to 1963. Support runs on chat, email and community, with community and chat in place of a phone line. Pague Menos, ranked next, inverts both price and access: a free plan price, 24 7 access and a far wider clinical mix.

   • Plan price per month: $12
   • Insurance accepted: Yes
   • Fastest appointment: 24 7

   Pros

   • The care team covers doctor and dietitian, so clinical input sits next to the diet side rather than behind it.
   • A mobile app comes with the membership, in line with 94.6% of the brands compared here.
   • Insurance is accepted, while 43.9% of the brands listed can say the same, which matters when a plan covers weight loss visits.
   • FeelGood GLP-1 and FeelGood ED keep their lists to online GP, prescriptions, weight loss and sexual health, where WeightWatchers adds pharmacy and menopause cover.

   Cons

   • The plan price of $12 a month ranks 8 of 37 brands on that measure, so cheaper memberships exist.
   • Support runs on chat, email and community only, with no phone line listed for members who prefer to talk.
   • The service covers US alone, so anyone outside the US gets nothing from it.

5. 10. Nurx

   Nurx belongs in this ranking as the cheapest paid plan that still carries a refund window behind it. The monthly plan price is $15, the consultation is $28, and money back runs 90 days, the widest window in the field. doctor, nurse practitioner and pharmacist cover prescribing, 24 7 access runs day and night, delivery is free and insurance accepted is a yes in US. online gp, prescriptions and pharmacy keeps weight loss alongside pharmacy dispensing, hair loss and menopause, with support on email, chat and phone. Rugiet Health, ranked next, offers a free consultation instead, but on same day access and a refund window of 0 days.

   • Consultation price: $28
   • Plan price per month: $15
   • Insurance accepted: Yes

   Pros

   • Membership is a set $15 a month, which sits in the top stretch of the field on monthly plan price at 9 of 37.
   • Delivery is free, so the $15 monthly fee does not carry a shipping add-on for prescriptions.
   • The service list covers online gp, prescriptions and pharmacy, which is wider than the online gp, prescriptions and weight loss offered by FeelGood ED.
   • Clinicians include doctor, nurse practitioner and pharmacist and requests can be made 24 7.
   • There is a 90 day money back window alongside insurance being accepted.

   Cons

   • A $28 consultation fee sits outside the membership, so the first visit costs more than the $15 monthly fee alone.
   • The consultation price ranks at 20 of 34, which is well behind the cheaper consultation pricing in the field.
   • The service list covers US, so anyone outside the US has no cover from this membership.
   • Support runs on email, chat and phone, with no urgent line for prescription queries that need a same day answer.

What to look for

Monthly plan price

The recurring figure is the cleanest cross field comparison available. In this ranking the median monthly plan price is €58.03, and most of the field falls between €37.05 and €114.57. Brands near the bottom of that band outrank pricier ones, so read the plan name next to the number rather than the number alone.

Consultation fee

Appointment costs are listed apart from the plan, and the median brand in this ranking charges €0, with the upper quartile starting at €65.77. A free first visit matters more than a discounted month, so this field is scored on its own rather than folded into the plan price.

Who can prescribe

A doctor appears at 88.2% of the programmes, a nurse practitioner at 38.2% and a pharmacist at 41.2%. A dietitian shows up at 23.5% and supports programme planning rather than prescribing, so brands without a prescriber lose ground here.

Speed of access

Round the clock availability covers 45.2% of the field and same day access 22.6%. Starting weight loss medication is the moment speed matters most, so brands open beyond working hours gain ground even when their monthly price is higher.

What the plan covers

Weight loss services appear at 100% of the programmes, with pharmacy dispensing on 44.7% and menopause care on 44.7%. A broader catalogue lets a reader add hair loss, skin or sexual health to the same subscription rather than starting a second account.

Support and delivery

Phone support is offered by 81.6% of the programmes and live chat by 36.8%, while free delivery covers 88.9%. These decide how painless a repeat monthly order is for anyone already enrolled.
