About Hello Alpha
Neither a cash price nor a complete state list is spelled out publicly. What Hello Alpha, once called Alpha Medical, does spell out is a wide drug menu: Wegovy, Ozempic, Rybelsus, Zepbound and Mounjaro under their brand names, the oral GLP-1 Foundayo, and further oral weight-loss drugs beyond those. Insurance is part of the model, and an online membership carries ongoing clinician care.

Henry Meds
What we like
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Henry Meds
Watch-outs
- Semaglutide costs $249 a month, 35% above the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- Confirm it serves your state before you start the intake
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- Its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
Our Verdict
Hello Alpha wins this one, 6.1 to 5.5, above all for seeing what it charges before you answer any medical questions. Henry Meds fits better if an oral route if you will not self-inject is your priority.
