Pros and cons
Nurx
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.
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.
ShedRx
Pros
- A single membership covers online gp, prescriptions and weight loss, so online GP appointments, prescriptions, weight loss, hair loss and sexual health sit under one plan.
- The roster includes doctor, nurse practitioner and dietitian, which lets weight loss work involve a dietitian rather than a prescriber alone.
- Support runs through email, chat and phone, and free delivery is included on orders.
Cons
- Insurance accepted reads no, so consultations and prescriptions are paid for directly rather than claimed back through a health plan.
- The monthly plan price of $159 sits at 34 of 37 brands ranked on that figure, so entry cost sits towards the higher end.
- Appointments are scheduled, so readers who want a same-day answer wait for a set slot instead.
Who each suits
Nurx
Who it suits
- People in the US already paying monthly for prescriptions who want the pharmacy and consultations in one app.
- Readers who want a broad service list under one membership rather than a narrow focus.
- Those who prefer a set monthly fee and can pay a separate consultation charge per visit.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone outside the US, since the service list is limited to US.
- Readers who want a wider clinical mix than online gp, prescriptions and pharmacy, which adds pharmacy and hair loss care alongside skin.
- People who want to skip a per visit fee, since the $28 consultation price applies on top of the plan.
ShedRx
Who it suits
- Adults in the US managing weight loss and hair loss through the same provider, with doctor, nurse practitioner and dietitian on the roster.
- People who book ahead and prefer set appointment slots, since consultations are scheduled.
- Shoppers who spread a single membership across several service lines and value 120 days of money back.
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers who want a prescription weight loss programme only may prefer FeelGood GLP-1, whose services are online gp, prescriptions and weight loss.
- Anyone focused on sexual health alone can go direct to FeelGood ED, which lists online gp, prescriptions and weight loss.
- Members who want dispensing and skin care alongside consultations may prefer DocMorris, which covers online gp, prescriptions and pharmacy.

Questions about each
Nurx
How much does Nurx cost each month?+
The Nurx membership is $15 a month. That is the ongoing monthly figure rather than a one off introductory rate, and delivery on the medication is included at no extra cost. A separate $28 consultation charge applies per visit on top of it.
Does the membership fee include the consultation?+
No, the consultation sits outside the plan. The monthly plan price is $15, and the consultation price is $28. Members who only refill an existing prescription tend to pay just the monthly figure, while anyone booking a new review pays both.
ShedRx
How much is the ShedRx plan each month?+
The ShedRx monthly plan is priced at $159. That is a membership figure rather than a per-consultation fee, so readers can weigh it against single appointment prices elsewhere, which reach €131.54 at the top of the range. Free delivery is included, so nothing is added on top.
What does the ShedRx membership cover?+
The service list covers online gp, prescriptions and weight loss, so a single membership spans online GP appointments, prescriptions, weight loss, hair loss and sexual health. That range is what separates ShedRx from providers built around a single condition, and it suits members carrying several goals. It also means a member can start with one service line and add another without moving to a different provider.
