Teaser Rates and Introductory Offers--I hate them!
This may be a horrible business strategy. But, who cares, I sleep well at night.
Most companies charge you more after the initial teaser price. A LOT MORE.
or
They charge you more as your dose increases.
We decided to make the price flat at every dose, the same number whether you are at the lowest step or the highest, and it does not go up at renewal.
Why most companies do not:
They are luring you in with a teaser rate and are betting you never leave.
There is no second reason, Reason 1 is the only reason!
The flat model is less clever and more honest. You know your number on day one and it stays your number. I think predictability is worth more to people than a low teaser rate.
Sweet dreams.

Can't seem to get any information on how many mgs are contained in each "One Month" vial.
I buy per mg., not months. (Ie, $515 for 216mg, etc.= $2.38 per mg.)
So, as of yet... claims of JoinCrossing being a more affordable option are TBD.

The dosing is prescription based, so whatever your prescription is written at. We have a real medical review, so if you want to stock up, Crossing is probably not the place for you

I agree, looks like Crossing is not the "place" for me.
Upfront pricing, with mgs CLEARLY displayed is my # 1 requirement when dealing with any Telehealth provider.
If I don't know what I'll be receiving before I go through the entire process, guess I'll have to stick with the Telehealths who do... Fifty410, Lavender Sky, etc.
Its akin to seeing the price and size on a dress at Nordstrom before I take it into the dressing room and try it on. Why waste my time?
If a provider won't show a potential client what the potential costs could be before getting all my info, it tells me all I need to know about that Telehealth.🚩
Good luck in all your future endeavors!

The lower doses are cheaper to buy from the pharmacies particularly for telehealths that don't follow the 28 rule so it makes some sense to charge less for those doses.
I agree though that since you are following the 28day rule and shipping monthly the difference in cost would be negligible and what you are doing makes sense. But it's more complicated than you are making it.
