Nutrisense Details
The real 12-month plan is $2,700 plus tax ($225/mo) - note that unlike most providers, Nutrisense's longer term costs more per month, so the 6-month rate cannot be extrapolated. 6-month is $149-152/mo depending on promo state (term total $894-1,500), 3-month $178-179/mo, 1-month $212-215/mo. The site renders promo and standard price sets simultaneously, so displayed monthly figures vary by session. Two 15-day Dexcom Stelo biosensors monthly, 1:1 dietitian coaching, Nora AI insights.
Dexcom Stelo Details
2-week supply $55 (1 biosensor, no commitment). 1-month supply $99 one-time (2 biosensors). 1-month subscription $89 for 2 biosensors, but shipped every 27 days - about 13.5 cycles a year, so roughly $1,201/yr rather than 12 x $89. The cheapest true annual path is the 3-month subscription at $252 (list $297) for 6 biosensors every 87 days, about $1,057/yr, which Dexcom markets as 'starting at just $84/month'. All options now include 1:1 video calls with a dietitian. 15-day wear, OTC, no prescription.
