Best for: People who want FDA-approved brand-name medication only, with a physician they can message any time, and who can pay a care fee on top of the drug cost.
MatchScript's take: Brand-name-only care with an always-available physician, but the full monthly cost is hidden until checkout and the care fee sits on top.
The factor breakdown
AskRx on the six Match Score factors — the same sub-scores the quiz reweights to your priorities. See the methodology.
No medication price is published, and a $100 monthly care fee is added on top of brand-name drug costs, so Budget Fit sits below the unpriced level at 40.
All 50 states, a five-minute profile and a messaging consultation usually within 48 hours; video only in select states.
Brand-name Wegovy pen and pill, Zepbound and Foundayo, covering semaglutide, tirzepatide and an oral option; nothing compounded.
A dedicated board-certified physician, unlimited messaging and a dose review every month.
No commitment and cancel any time; the care fee can be refunded within seven days only if you have not yet had a consultation.
The care fee is spelled out, but the medication price is not shown before checkout and the homepage and terms disagree on who dispenses.

What we found on their site
Read on AskRx's own website in October 2026. Quoted text is theirs.
- The pricing note reads "$90/month is the physician visit fee. A $10/month fulfillment fee applies to every order, for a total care fee of $100/month. Your medication is billed separately at our pharmacy's cost".
- On medication cost, the FAQ says "The amount varies by medication and dose" and that you will see it "broken out before you check out".
- The terms state "AskRx does not dispense, compound, sell, or ship medications. AskRx does not operate a pharmacy."
What we like
- Prescribes only FDA-approved brand-name medications: Wegovy as a pen or daily pill, Zepbound and Foundayo
- A dedicated board-certified physician with unlimited messaging and dose planning every month
- Available in all 50 states, with intake and the first consultation usually done within 48 hours
- Says it never marks up the medication, and shows the medication and care fee separately before you pay
- No commitment: cancel any time from your account
The caveats
- The medication price is not published before checkout, so the full monthly bill is not known up front
- The $100 monthly care fee ($90 physician fee plus $10 fulfillment) comes on top of brand-name medication, so the total runs well above most compounded options
- No compounded option at all, so there is no lower-cost path
- The homepage says medication is dispensed through its own pharmacy, while its terms say it does not operate a pharmacy and sends prescriptions to the manufacturers' pharmacies or a retail pharmacy
- The site describes Foundayo as oral tirzepatide; its active ingredient is orforglipron, a different molecule, so check the label with your physician

AskRx, answered
How much does AskRx cost?
The care fee is $100 a month: a $90 physician fee plus a $10 fulfillment fee. Your brand-name medication is billed separately, and its price is shown only at checkout, so the total depends on the medication and dose.
Does AskRx prescribe compounded semaglutide?
No. AskRx physicians prescribe only FDA-approved brand-name medications: Wegovy (injection or pill), Zepbound and Foundayo.
Pricing & state data come from AskRx's public site and our master provider matrix. The Match Score and its sub-scores are our editorial judgment per the methodology. Commercial facts only — prices change, so confirm on AskRx's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
AskRx is a membership for people who want only FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s: Wegovy as an injection or daily pill, Zepbound, or Foundayo. A board-certified physician handles your intake by message, adjusts your dose each month and is reachable any time, in all 50 states. The care fee is $100 a month, a $90 physician fee plus a $10 fulfillment fee, and the medication is billed separately at a cost the site does not show until checkout. Brand-name medication is expensive, so expect a total well above compounded options. Its homepage and terms also disagree about whether it runs its own pharmacy. Bottom line: a reasonable route to brand-name care with strong physician access, if you price the medication before you commit.
