Wholesome Clinic vs PlushCare

Every rung published against the starting dose alone.

By Dana SullivanEvidence reviewer

Wholesome Clinic

Editorial

$109/mo

Wholesome Clinic publishes a dose ladder rather than a single figure for each product: compounded semaglutide runs $149 to $199 and above by injection, $109 to $199 as an oral, while compounded tirzepatide runs $349 to $549 by injection and $249 to $349 as an oral. All four are self-pay. The service covers seven states.

Pick it for: Readers in its seven states who want the climb priced

PlushCare

Editorial

$149/mo

PlushCare advertises compounded semaglutide at $149 a month cash-pay, and states that the figure buys the 0.25 mg starting dose only, with every maintenance dose priced higher. Compounded tirzepatide is $399. Insurance is accepted on a separate basis from either figure.

Pick it for: Readers who want a recognized brand and will ask about escalation

Our verdict

Wholesome Clinic prints three rungs per line. PlushCare prices the first dose and stops. Between them sits the whole question of what month four costs.

Before you choose either

Ask both sellers what dose the monthly price buys before you compare the two figures. A price is only a price once you know what quantity it is attached to, and a seller that will not answer has told you something. Set both against every published price we hold rather than against each other alone.

Our take is computed from a published rubric that does not read commercial status, and what is known about safety applies to both of them equally.
