Trust & transparency
How We Score Providers
Every provider on this site is evaluated against the same published criteria. The scoring weights below are fixed in advance and applied identically to NexLife and to every other provider. No provider can pay to change a score, a rank, or a category award.
Quick Answer
We score each provider on six weighted factors using only publicly available information, then award category wins to whichever provider objectively performs best on that factor. The same weights apply to all providers, including NexLife, which appears as one provider among many.
The six scoring factors
| Factor | Weight | What we look at |
|---|---|---|
| Total cost transparency | 25% | Is the all-in price (medication + visit + shipping + labs) clearly published, or hidden behind a quiz/checkout? |
| Dose-based value | 20% | Cost at starter and maintenance doses; whether price jumps as the dose increases. |
| Pharmacy transparency | 20% | Is the fulfilling pharmacy named, state-licensed, and identifiable as 503A or 503B? Base vs. salt form disclosed? |
| Included services | 15% | Provider review, shipping, supplies, labs, coaching — included or extra. |
| Access & availability | 10% | State coverage and how quickly a patient can be seen. |
| Terms & cancellation | 10% | Refunds, auto-renewal clarity, and what happens if supply or rules change. |
How category wins are awarded
A provider “wins” a category only when it objectively leads on the relevant factor in our verified dataset. For example, the lowest verified all-in maintenance cost wins “best value”; the clearest named-pharmacy disclosure wins “pharmacy transparency.” Different providers are expected to win different categories. If NexLife wins a category, it is because the verified numbers put it first — and the page will show the numbers that justify it.
What we will never do
- Invent or estimate a provider price. Unverified figures are shown as “verify,” never as fact.
- Use fake ratings, fake review counts, or fake scoring badges.
- Add
rel="sponsored", affiliate tracking, or referral parameters to provider links unless a real, disclosed paid relationship exists — see How We Make Money. - Let any provider, including NexLife, edit rankings, wording, or the provider table.
- Describe compounded semaglutide as FDA-approved, “generic Wegovy,” or “generic Ozempic.”
Independence
What to Verify
- The “last checked” date on any provider or price page — older dates mean prices may have moved.
- That any category award on the site links back to the verified figures supporting it.
- Our source archive entry for the price you are relying on.
Bottom Line
Our value depends entirely on being trustworthy. The scoring weights are public, the data is dated and sourced, and the same rules apply to every provider. If you ever find a score that the published numbers do not support, please submit a correction.
