The two most transparent providers in the market, disclosing completely different things.
Updated 2026-09-19 · 2 min read · Prices from each provider's own site
The verdict
If you care about knowing what you are buying, these are the two best providers we have found — and they prove there is more than one way to be transparent. Ondra publishes a full price matrix, names its pharmacies, its clinical entity and its medical director, and states LegitScript certification. HealthiCare publishes the only itemised bill in the market, showing medication, consult, shipping, platform fee and its own 20% margin as separate lines that total exactly what it charges. On price they are close. On availability, HealthiCare excludes California and Ondra's cheapest plans are state-dependent.

These two are the answer to the question most of this market avoids: who made my medicine, and what am I actually paying for?
Ondra answers the first. It names Hallandale Pharmacy and Vials RX as its fulfilling partners, describes its network as state-licensed 503A and 503B, names Wasef Health, PC as the clinical entity with David Wasef, MD as medical director, and states LegitScript certification. It publishes a full price matrix across four plan lengths for both molecules.
HealthiCare answers the second. Its $126 semaglutide is published as $50 medication, $15 consult, $5 prep, $20 shipping, $15 platform fee and $21 service at 20% — components that total exactly the charge. It also names F&F Pharmacies with a street address and phone, names Beluga Health and Dr Jonah Mink, and publishes a per-batch QC protocol covering API certificates, aseptic compounding, quarantine and third-party potency, sterility and endotoxicity testing.
On price, HealthiCare wins monthly and Ondra wins prepaid
Billed monthly: HealthiCare is $126 and $144 against Ondra's $149 and $219. On best available rates: Ondra reaches $96 semaglutide on twelve months, HealthiCare $107.10 on three; on tirzepatide HealthiCare's $122.40 beats Ondra's $142.
The commitment differs too. Ondra's floor needs $1,149 or $1,699 paid upfront with no published refund policy. HealthiCare's needs three months. For anyone new to these drugs, three months is a far more reasonable bet.
Each has one loose thread
Ondra's is availability. It states plainly that which plan lengths you can buy depends on which pharmacy is licensed in your state, and that the 6- and 12-month plans run only through Hallandale and Vials RX. So its headline $96 is not available everywhere — which is honest, and still a limitation.
HealthiCare's limitation is blunter: its compounded pricing excludes California outright, and its named pharmacy holds no licence in ten states.

Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper, Ondra or HealthiCare?
HealthiCare billed monthly, at $126 and $144 against Ondra's $149 and $219. Ondra is cheaper on semaglutide if you prepay twelve months, at $96.
Which has better disclosure?
They disclose different things. Ondra names pharmacies, clinical entity, medical director and LegitScript certification. HealthiCare itemises every price component and publishes a full batch-testing protocol. Both name a pharmacy and a prescriber, which almost nobody else does.
Can I use either in California?
HealthiCare's compounded pricing excludes California. Ondra's availability depends on which pharmacy is licensed in your state, so check before assuming the cheapest plan is available to you.
Should I prepay with Ondra?
Its $96 and $142 rates require $1,149 and $1,699 upfront, and no refund policy is published. HealthiCare's three-month plans reach similar rates with a far shorter commitment.
