Best Shapely alternatives: video visits, dietitians, and complete pricing

How this shortlist was selected

CoreAge Rx is number one because it is our featured commercial partner. That position is predetermined by our commercial relationship, and we may earn compensation through its links. Other entries illustrate relevant care and payment models; their order is not a ranking of medication quality, safety, or patient outcomes.

Start with your preferred appointment format, then verify the care fee, visit coverage, and separate prescription cost. We used the provider documents linked beside each entry, checked September 21, 2026. We did not purchase treatment, test private accounts, audit every license, or measure response times. The product and current written quote for your own care still need confirmation. Read our review method.

01. CoreAge Rx — featured partner

The sponsored self-pay benchmark on this list. Readers who need scheduled video appointments or individual dietitian visits should confirm those services rather than assuming they are included.

The current sale page advertises semaglutide from $99 per month and tirzepatide from $149 per month, with no membership fee. Those are advertised starting figures, not a personalized checkout quote. The plan length and total amount due must be read alongside the monthly equivalent.

The sale page says CoreAge works with U.S. compounding pharmacies and describes 503A facilities. A category of pharmacy is not a substitute for the name, address, and state license of the pharmacy filling your own prescription. Request that information before deciding.

02. PlushCare

A primary-care video-visit model that can be compared appointment by appointment. Add membership, follow-up visits, labs, and medication to the budget.

PlushCare lists a $19.99 monthly membership after a free first month, plus the visit charge. Its uninsured initial visit is $129; an insured visit depends on the patient’s plan. Medication and lab costs are separate.

A covered visit does not mean the prescribed medicine is covered. Confirm membership, follow-up visit charges, lab costs, and the chosen pharmacy price as separate lines.

Check the official PlushCare program page for the current offer and conditions.

03. Sesame Care

Provides an alternative structure for recurring video visits and provider messaging. Its shorter-term and annual commitments have different care prices.

Success by Sesame lists care from $59 per month on a 12-month commitment and a $99 month-to-month option. Medication costs are excluded and vary with the prescription, pharmacy, and coverage.

Read the selected plan’s refund and renewal cutoff. Its FAQ distinguishes cancelling before the initial visit from a cancellation after that visit has occurred.

Check the official Sesame Care program page for the current offer and conditions.

04. Found

An insured pathway with video visits and a separate cash-pay format. Ask about copays and the included medicine before comparing its plan price with Shapely’s membership.

Found advertises $99 for its insurance pathway and $169 for cash pay on 12-month prepaid plans, while describing billing in 28-day cycles. Its monthly-plan figures are $199 with insurance and $289 cash pay. Insurance visits can add copays; branded medication costs are separate.

Ask for the total upfront charge, number of covered 28-day cycles, medication, and visit copays. A low insured-plan headline is neither proof of drug coverage nor a complete branded-drug price.

Check the official Found program page for the current offer and conditions. Our Found alternatives comparison examines other care models.

05. Alloy

A candidate for a reader specifically seeking midlife-focused physician care. Its ongoing care fee and medication price need to be added together.

Alloy Weight Care lists a $99 monthly care fee plus medication, with compounded semaglutide advertised from $70 per month. It separately lists compounded and branded options; those drug prices do not replace the care fee.

Distinguish menopause care from the proposed weight-management prescription. Confirm whether any existing Alloy services continue billing separately and which medication pathway the quote covers.

Check the official Alloy program page for the current offer and conditions.

06. Calibrate

A comparison when one-to-one coaching and a curriculum are priorities. Its coaching is not automatically interchangeable with a registered-dietitian appointment.

Calibrate lists membership at $199 per month with a three-month initial commitment: $597 paid in monthly installments. Lab tests and prescription medicines are excluded from that membership price.

Insurance assistance does not guarantee a covered prescription. Review the commitment, medication and lab costs, and the separate conditions attached to any advertised money-back offer.

The current Shapely baseline

Shapely lists a $49 first self-pay membership month followed by $99 per month. Medication is excluded, and the site separately lists medication starting prices and possible lab charges. Its insured pathway requires an individual coverage check.

Shapely describes monthly provider video visits, dietitian access, insurance navigation, and assistance locating medication at pharmacies. It publishes different arrangements for insured and self-pay patients.

Confirm which visits your plan covers and which services belong to the selected membership. Acceptance of an insurance plan does not establish coverage of a weight-loss prescription.

The details that decide this comparison

Ask whether the advertised dietitian access is included in your selected plan and how often appointments can be booked.

Check network participation for your own plan and location. The provider’s acceptance of a carrier is not confirmation of every benefit.

Compare the regular membership rate after any introductory discount. Medication and labs can remain separate even when an offer emphasizes a low first-month fee.

Keep the treatment distinction clear

An FDA-approved branded medicine and a compounded preparation have different regulatory status. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Trials of an approved product do not prove that every compounded version has the same performance.

Ask the prescribing professional why the exact product is appropriate for you, and identify the dispensing pharmacy. A price, a website’s appearance, or a place in this list cannot establish personal suitability. Our guide to compounded drugs and FDA approval explains the distinction.

Before you make a change

Write down the minimum contact you want: an initial video visit, recurring appointments, nutrition visits, or messaging. Ask each program to confirm that specific schedule.

If you already have a dietitian or primary-care clinician, ask how the new program will coordinate with them. More subscriptions do not necessarily mean better coordinated care.
