Ascend Medical or FitFlow?
Ascend Medical is the cheaper way to start, at $130 a month against $235 for FitFlow; Ascend Medical does not publish what its top dose costs, so ask before you commit past the first month.

Ascend Medical names 2 states; FitFlow does not say where it ships. Neither has an FDA warning letter on record.

Where they actually differ
- They bill on different clocks. Ascend Medical charges every 8 weeks and FitFlow charges every calendar month. That alone changes what a “month” costs, which is the whole reason this index recomputes every price.
- One price holds and the other climbs. Ascend Medical’s price is a starting-dose price that climbs; FitFlow’s is the same at every dose. See what titration does to an advertised figure.
- What they advertise is not what they bill. FitFlow advertises $134 and bills $235.
