The verdict: Embody takes it
If money is the deciding factor, AltRx wins outright — it's cheaper and faster to start. But Embody is the better program: you get real clinician time and coaching that AltRx simply doesn't include at its price. Pay less and self-manage with AltRx, or pay more and be supported with Embody.
