Where they actually differ
- They bill on different clocks. Care Clinics charges every 12 weeks and Shape Vantage charges every 3 months. That alone changes what a “month” costs, which is the whole reason this index recomputes every price.
- What they advertise is not what they bill. Care Clinics advertises $133 and bills $145.
