Head-to-head comparison
RxSpan MD vs Teladoc Health
Two GLP-1 providers, one scorecard. Both are graded on the same six Desk Score dimensions — here is how they stack up, and which one fits you.
Desk Score
A physician-founded desk with one of the widest menus in the ranking — compounded and brand-name GLP-1 across injectable and oral routes, microdosing, plus longevity, hair, and sexual-health lines — with transparent, all-inclusive pricing across all 50 states.
$249/mo sema · $329/mo tirz · Verified August 2026
Marked down on: You pay before a clinician reads your intake, and RxSpan MD publishes no refund policy — the word "refund" appears nowhere on the site, and the terms of service say only that you agree to pay all fees. The cheapest advertised rate is a single upfront payment of $2,094 for a year of semaglutide, and the plan card says it auto-renews
Desk Score

Marked down on: Distributed mainly via employers and health plans, limited direct cash-pay
