How GLP1Rating Makes Money

GLP1Rating is free to read. Here is how we make money: affiliate commissions. When you click a link to one of our partner telehealth providers and become a new patient, that provider pays us a one-time fee. You pay the same price either way.

Commissions never decide a provider’s score, its place on a page, or what we write about it. This page explains how we make money, what money can’t buy, and how to tell which links earn us a commission.

How We Make Money, Step by Step

Our partner links run through Katalys, an affiliate network that works with telehealth brands. This is what happens when you click one:

• You click a provider button or link on our site. Partner links pass through an address that starts with glp1rating.com/recommends/.
• Katalys records the visit and sends you to the provider’s website.
• If you complete the provider’s medical intake, get approved, and pay for your first order, the provider pays us a commission.
• You pay the provider’s regular price. We never add fees, and using our link doesn’t change what you pay.

We earn nothing from clicks alone or from the medical sources we cite. Commission amounts differ between providers, and some providers pay different amounts depending on the plan a new patient picks.

What Money Can’t Buy

No provider can pay us for any of these:

• A higher score or a better spot in our rankings and comparison tables.
• A positive review, or the removal of complaints, negative facts, or low ratings.
• The right to read or approve a review before we publish it.
• Sponsored articles, advertorials, or paid “best of” placements. We don’t sell them.

If a partner’s service gets worse, we lower its score and say why, even when that costs us commissions.

How We Keep Scores Independent

Every provider is scored on the same four criteria: patient reviews and reputation, legitimacy and safety, pricing transparency, and process and access. Commission size is not one of them.

The numbers don’t line up in practice either. One of our highest-rated providers pays one of the smallest commissions in our program. Several of the highest-paying programs don’t have a review on the site yet, because we haven’t finished checking them.

Our Editorial Policy explains the full research process.

How to Spot an Affiliate Link

• “Visit [Provider]” buttons and links that pass through glp1rating.com/recommends/ are affiliate links.
• Pages with affiliate links show a disclosure near the top.
• Our affiliate links carry a “sponsored” tag, which tells search engines the link is paid.
• Links to medical sources such as the FDA, CDC, NIH, and clinical studies are regular links. So are links to brands we don’t partner with. We earn nothing from them.

Which Providers Are Our Partners

Every provider on our Compare page has an affiliate agreement with us through Katalys. Partnerships change: programs pause, end, or start. When a program stops, we remove its links from the site.

We also mention providers and pharmacies we have no deal with when that helps you make a better choice.

What the Money Pays For

Affiliate income covers the work behind the site: researching providers, re-checking prices, tracking FDA and insurance changes, and keeping the site running. It lets us keep every page free, with no paywall and no banner ads.
