A $129 first month can become $249 or more after the introductory supply. A “no membership” plan can still cost more at higher doses, require a prepaid term, or charge to cancel after clinical review.
We compared 19 providers on pricing transparency and stopping friction. We ordered from 16 of the 19 providers here, received the shipments, and recorded what turned up. Every price came from a provider’s own site. The grade measures what you pay and how hard it is to stop. It does not measure clinical quality or treat an FDA warning letter as a pricing grade.
The shortlist:
- Peak Wellness is our Editor’s Choice for flat pricing, no separate membership fee, and named pharmacy partners.
- GobyMeds is the cleanest no-subscription option.
- Orderly Meds publishes an all-in maintenance price that does not rise with dose.
- Amble is flat-rate and bundled, but its $100 medical-review cancellation charge matters.
- Ro, Mochi Health, Eden, and Hims & Hers add a separate membership or program fee.
Prices were captured September 8, 2026.
Editor’s Choice: Peak Wellness
Peak Wellness is our pick for buyers who want a bundled cash-pay plan with flat pricing at every dose. It charges no separate membership fee, names its four pharmacy partners, and states that the price does not change as the dose increases.
Cancellation is not self-serve and requires contacting support five days before the next shipment. Peak Wellness offers email and text support, not a voice line. Its coaching includes group coaching, a patient community, a welcome call, and one-to-one check-ins as needed. It does not offer an app-based daily curriculum or a registered dietitian.
Peak Wellness is not the cheapest option. It is the easier price to understand.

A “none found” result means no warning letter appeared in FDA’s published warning-letter index between January 2021 and September 2026. It does not establish a clean regulatory record.
Peak Wellness – Best for Flat Pricing
Grade: B · Best for: Buyers who want one cash-pay price at every dose without a separate membership fee · FDA warning letter: None found in the published index described above Evidence: Prices captured first-party September 8, 2026. We ordered from this provider, received the shipment, and scored it against our published rubric.
Pricing breakdown
| What you pay | First month | Ongoing at maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide | $179 | $249 |
| Compounded tirzepatide | $279 | $349 |
| Six-month plan | – | Sema equivalent $165; tirz equivalent about $232.67 |
The trap is the advertised first-month price. At maintenance, semaglutide renews at $249 and tirzepatide at $349, with shipping included.
The six-month plan lowers the equivalents to $165 for semaglutide and about $232.67 for tirzepatide. It requires paying $990 or $1,396 upfront.
What we found
Our package arrived in a foam-insulated box with two gel ice packs, a vial in a pill bottle, sharps, and alcohol wipes. We received extra sharps and wipes, plus QR-code instructions and drug information. Our first chat response took about three minutes, but later replies took more than 22 minutes and then 43 minutes. Cancellation required portal chat and email because the button did not complete the process, but support canceled treatment almost immediately.
Pharmacy
Peak Wellness names Emerald Compounding Pharmacy, Epiq Scripts, Southend Pharmacy, and AbsoluteRx as partners. We found no disciplinary actions on file for any of the four.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Flat price at every dose
- No separate membership fee stated
- Shipping and supplies included
- Pharmacy partners identified
Cons
- Maintenance pricing exceeds advertised first-month pricing
- No self-service cancellation
- No phone support
- Chat replies can be delayed
Bottom line
Peak Wellness fits buyers who value predictable renewal pricing and identified pharmacy partners. Approval arrived within 24 hours, but cancellation required support contact rather than one click.
GobyMeds – Best for No Subscription
Grade: A · Best for: Buyers who do not want automatic renewal · FDA warning letter: None found in the published index described above Evidence: Prices captured first-party September 8, 2026. We ordered from this provider, received the shipment, and scored it against our published rubric.
Pricing breakdown
| What you pay | First month | Ongoing at maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Semaglutide, single month | $169 | $169 |
| Tirzepatide, single month | $299 | $299 |
| Twelve-week plan | Dose-tiered | Dose-tiered |
| Wegovy | $1,695 | $1,695 |
The trap is the gap between advertised compounded prices and maintenance-dose renewals. Semaglutide costs $169 monthly, while tirzepatide costs $299 monthly.
GobyMeds lists Wegovy at $1,695 and Zepbound at $1,399. Twelve-week pricing depends on the plan’s highest weekly dose, so maintenance costs can rise.
What we found
Our shipment arrived within 24 hours of shipping in foam insulation with one large ice pack, medication, extra sharps, alcohol wipes, and instructions.
When we called, an automated message sent us to voicemail; chat responses took about a day and arrived by email.
We found no cancellation button in the portal, so we contacted support and learned orders were not automatically renewed.
The published policy allows refunds before clinical review, but a $50 charge may apply afterward, and issued prescriptions may not be refundable.
Pharmacy
GobyMeds listed CasaPharmaRx, SevenCells, VitalRx through PharmacyHub, and BPI Labs through Pharmacy Hub.
CasaPharma RX had nine compliance deficiencies in August 2025, corrected by January 2026; the other named pharmacies had no disciplinary action or public complaints described here.
Pros and cons
Pros
- No subscription or automatic renewal
- Consultation and shipping included
- Insulated packaging protected medication
- Pharmacy and additives shown during intake
Cons
- Dose-tiered bundle pricing can rise
- Semaglutide’s top band excludes 2.4 mg
- Tirzepatide pricing around 10 mg is unclear
- Cancellation may trigger a $50 fee
Bottom line
GobyMeds fit us when we wanted deliberate, single-order purchases with insulated packaging and supplies.
Choose another provider if you want automatic refills, live phone support, or flat pricing through dose increases.
Orderly Meds – Best All-In Maintenance Price
Grade: A · Best for: Buyers who want a flat published maintenance price · FDA warning letter: 728291, June 8, 2026 Evidence: Prices captured first-party September 8, 2026. We ordered from this provider, received the shipment, and scored it against our published rubric.
Pricing breakdown
| What you pay | First month | Ongoing at maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Semaglutide | $74 per month in a two-month $149 starter | $149 |
| Tirzepatide | $149 per month in a two-month $299 starter | $299 |
The trap is renewal pricing. Semaglutide renews at $149 monthly after its two-month starter, while tirzepatide rises from $149 to $299 monthly.
No membership fee applied, and shipping was included. Insurance was not accepted, but HSA and FSA cards worked.
What we found
Our package arrived in a thick Styrofoam box with two melted but still-cool gel packs, medication, supplies, and instructions. We received tracking by email; approval took 14 days after we missed the required text, followed by three-day shipping and three-day delivery. Phone calls reached humans immediately, and support fixed our account issue. When we canceled, portal chat directed us to call; a representative asked why, contacted a supervisor, and left us waiting 10 minutes.
Pharmacy
Listed partners included PerfectRx or PerfectionRx, ProRx, Casa Pharmacy, The Pharmacy Hub, and SmartPharmaRx. SmartScripts, linked to PerfectRx or PerfectionRx, paid a $25,000 Iowa Board of Pharmacy fine in August 2025; ProRx received FDA warning letters #696742 in March 2025 and #723704 in April 2026.
Pros and cons
Pros
- No membership fee stated
- Flat price at every dose
- Maintenance pricing is published
- Shipping and supplies included
Cons
- FDA warning letter 728291
- Pharmacy disciplinary concerns
- Email support did not respond
- Cancellation required a phone call
Bottom line
Orderly Meds publishes clear maintenance pricing and ships supplies. The FDA warning letter and pharmacy records should guide your decision.
Amble – Best for Bundled Flat Pricing
Grade: B · Best for: Buyers who want no separate membership fee and flat tirzepatide pricing · FDA warning letter: None found in the published index described above Evidence: Prices captured first-party September 8, 2026. We ordered from this provider, received the shipment, and scored it against our published rubric.
Pricing breakdown
| What you pay | First month | Ongoing at maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Semaglutide | $129 or $179, depending on the site table | $179 on the month-to-month table |
| Tirzepatide | $179 | $179 |
| Three-month plan | – | About $160 per month for tirzepatide |
| Six-month plan | – | Published tables range from $135 to $145 per month |
The trap is the gap between advertised multi-month pricing and maintenance renewals. Tirzepatide costs $179 monthly, while three-month pricing is about $160 and six-month tables show $135 to $145.
Amble states it has no membership fees or hidden costs. Shipping was included, and HSA and FSA cards worked for plans of three months or longer.
What we found
Our package contained medication, one gel ice pack, thick insulated foam, extra sharps, alcohol wipes, drug information, and injection instructions. Approval came the next day, the prescription reached the pharmacy that day, and two-day shipping provided tracking by email and portal. The medication stayed secure, but the information sheet and explainer card arrived wrinkled, while supplies fell from the FedEx bag. We canceled through the patient portal, and cancellation took effect immediately without further charges, but the policy permits a $100 review charge after questionnaire approval.
Pharmacy
Support named Bask Health, Inc. as the platform and Align Pharmacy, LLC as a pharmacy connected to our inquiry. Align’s community pharmacy license appeared permanently closed and expired in 2024, while its controlled-substance license later appeared lapsed and invalid for practice as of 2025.
Pros and cons
Pros
- No separate membership fee
- Flat tirzepatide pricing
- Shipping included
- Cold-chain packaging protected medication
Cons
- Maintenance price exceeds advertised discounts
- Conflicting semaglutide prices
- $100 cancellation charge may apply
- Phone support returned no calls
Bottom line
Amble offers bundled pricing, included shipping, and quick approval, but maintenance tirzepatide costs $179 monthly. Conflicting prices, limited pharmacy disclosure, weak phone follow-up, and cancellation terms require caution.
Willow – Best for a Simple Bundled Offer
Grade: B · Best for: Buyers who want a bundled price and free shipping · FDA warning letter: None found in the published index described above Evidence: Prices captured first-party September 8, 2026. We ordered from this provider, received the shipment, and scored it against our published rubric.
Pricing breakdown
| What you pay | First month | Ongoing at maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide | $299 | $299 |
| Compounded tirzepatide | $399 | $399 |
The advertised $299 semaglutide and $399 tirzepatide prices are not confirmed maintenance prices. Willow publishes no dose ladder or flat-rate promise as doses rise.
There is no monthly membership fee, but labs may cost extra if needed. Insurance was not eligible, while HSA/FSA use required a letter of medical necessity and receipt.
What we found
Our package contained medication, non-sweat ice packs, alcohol wipes, extra sharps containers, photo instructions, drug information, and a dose magnet. The vial arrived intact in secure, dry, vacuum-sealed packaging.
We contacted support to cancel, and the representative completed cancellation without pushback. An extra charge qualified for a prompt refund under Willow’s terms.
Approval came the next day, and shipping took two days. The pharmacy supplied tracking separately, while the portal showed none.
Pharmacy
Willow named Red Rock Home Pharmacy, Epiq Pharmacy, also known as Epiq Scripts LLC, and The Pharmacy Hub. Red Rock had two paid regulatory citations and related licenses later surrendered without formal disciplinary action; Epiq and The Pharmacy Hub had no listed disciplinary orders.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Current prices are easy to locate
- Visit and shipping are included
- Ice packs and supplies arrived
- Cancellation completed without pushback
Cons
- No confirmed maintenance-dose pricing rule
- Red Rock had paid regulatory citations
- Portal showed no shipping tracking
- Compounded products only
Bottom line
Willow suits buyers who confirm dose and renewal pricing before ordering. We received a protected shipment, next-day approval, and straightforward cancellation, but no flat-rate guarantee or portal tracking.
Noom Med – Best for Behavioral Support
Grade: B · Best for: Buyers who want an app-based behavior program alongside medication · FDA warning letter: None found in the published index described above Evidence: Prices captured first-party September 8, 2026. We ordered from this provider, received the shipment, and scored it against our published rubric.
Pricing breakdown
| What you pay | First month | Ongoing at maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| GLP-1Rx semaglutide | $129 | $249, billed quarterly |
| GLP-1Rx tirzepatide | $149 | $299 |
| Microdose plan | $79 | Later plan pricing differs |
The trap is the $129 semaglutide price, which renews at $249 monthly. Noom charges $747 at once for the quarterly renewal, not $249 monthly.
Other tiers also rise substantially. Microdose increases from $79 to $179, GLP-1Rx from $129 to $249, and GLP-1Rx Plus from $149 to $299.
What we found
Our package contained medication, ice packs, dry ice, insulated packaging, protective foam, extra sharps, alcohol wipes, instructions, and drug information. The vial arrived intact, with a barrier separating cooling materials from the contents.
We received one-day shipping, with tracking available through email and the app. Instructions covered storage, temperature handling, and injection use.
When we contacted the care team in the Noom app, we received a response within 24 hours. We found cancellation in the app, but repeated selections and retention offers preceded cancellation at the end of the 12-week term.
Pharmacy
Noom named OptioRx as one pharmacy partner and names Your Big Picture Healthcare for its clinician network. We found no disciplinary actions on file for the pharmacy information we reviewed.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Behavioral curriculum and tracking tools
- Clinical care and medication bundled together
- Coaching and recipes included
- Cold-chain packaging and supplies arrived
Cons
- First-month price rises substantially
- Quarterly billing creates a large charge
- Cancellation included repeated retention offers
- Microdose and maintenance prices differ
Bottom line
Noom Med suits buyers wanting behavioral support, tracking, coaching, and medication support. Our shipment arrived well protected with supplies, instructions, and tracking.
The main drawbacks were quarterly billing, higher renewal pricing, and repeated cancellation offers. Confirm the pharmacy, billing term, and refund rules before paying.
Belle Health – Best for a Flat Six-Month Rate
Grade: B · Best for: Buyers who want a stated no-membership plan and a lower prepaid term rate · FDA warning letter: 721795, February 20, 2026 Evidence: Prices captured first-party September 8, 2026. We ordered from this provider, received the shipment, and scored it against our published rubric.
Pricing breakdown
| What you pay | First month | Ongoing at maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Semaglutide month-to-month | $199 | $199 |
| Semaglutide six-month plan | $119 equivalent | $119 equivalent |
| Tirzepatide month-to-month | $249 | $249 |
| Tirzepatide six-month plan | $199 equivalent | $199 equivalent |
The trap is the advertised six-month equivalent, not the renewal price. Maintenance costs $199 monthly for semaglutide or $249 for tirzepatide month-to-month.
Six-month plans lower maintenance pricing to $119 equivalent for semaglutide and $199 for tirzepatide. They require upfront payments of $714 and $1,194.
What we found
Our package arrived in a FedEx box with insulation, two cool ice packs, a vial, sharps, alcohol wipes, and instructions. The medication stayed cool, with no damage or loose contents.
We received approval the next day, and overnight shipping delivered the medication within 24 hours. Tracking appeared by email and in the patient portal.
Support connected us to a person after a short hold, with text, chat, and email options. Chat responded immediately, email answered within 24 hours, and representatives were helpful.
We canceled immediately through the portal by selecting “treatments,” “plan,” and “end subscription.” Belle states shipped prescription medications cannot be returned or refunded.
Pharmacy
Belle listed BPI Labs, Inc., VitalRx Pharmacy, The Pharmacy Hub, and Olympia Pharmaceuticals. BPI Labs received an FDA warning letter in March 2025, while Olympia faced a 2022 California State Board of Pharmacy Accusation and a May 2024 FDA Form 483.
Pros and cons
Pros
- No membership fee stated
- Flat price at every dose
- Overnight shipping arrived quickly
- Cool medication and supplies included
Cons
- FDA warning letter 721795
- Pharmacy partners had regulatory history
- Six-month plan requires upfront payment
- Shipped medication cannot be refunded
Bottom line
Belle offers a stated flat rate without a membership fee, plus quick approval, overnight delivery, and cold packaging. Consider FDA warning letter 721795, pharmacy records, and the prepaid commitment before ordering.
RemedyMeds – No Obtainable Price
Grade: F · Best for: Not recommended; no current price is obtainable · FDA warning letter: 716830, September 9, 2025 Evidence: Prices captured first-party September 8, 2026. We ordered from this provider, received the shipment, and scored it against our published rubric.
Pricing breakdown
| What you pay | First month | Ongoing at maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Current compounded plan | Not recorded | Not recorded |
| Separate membership | Not recorded | Not recorded |
What we found
We ordered injectable semaglutide or tirzepatide, completed the questionnaire and consultation, and received same-day approval. The medication arrived in one day inside insulated foam with an ice pack, supplies, printed instructions, and tracking.
Bottom line
RemedyMeds does not earn a recommendation because its current maintenance price and compounding pharmacy identity remain undisclosed. We also found FDA warning letter 716830, issued September 9, 2025, and processed payments are not refundable.
Ro – Best for an Insurance Concierge Layer
Grade: C · Best for: Buyers who want branded medication access and a broad support platform · FDA warning letter: None found in the published index described above Evidence: Prices captured first-party September 8, 2026. We did not order from this provider; published information and remote checks only.
Pricing breakdown
| What you pay | First month | Ongoing at maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Ro Body membership | $39 | $149 |
| Zepbound 10 mg | Medication separate | $449 |
| Total at 10 mg | About $488 before first-month changes | About $598 |
Ro’s advertised membership starts at $39, but maintenance treatment costs about $598 monthly at 10 mg before first-month changes. Medication remains separate and dose-tiered.
What we found
We did not order from Ro, so we cannot report ordering, delivery, approval, or cancellation results. We found no recorded support wait time or confirmation that a human answered. Ro says patients can cancel anytime, but previously incurred membership fees are nonrefundable.
Pharmacy
We found no named pharmacy partner or pharmacy disciplinary history.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Brand-name medication route
- Insurance support
- Testing included in membership
Cons
- $149 recurring membership
- Medication costs extra
- Missed refill window raises bills
Bottom line
Ro suits buyers valuing insurance coordination and platform support, but confirm pharmacy, refill timing, and cancellation terms before paying.
Mochi Health – Best for Dose-Based Medication Choice
Grade: C · Best for: Buyers who want the medication price to track the prescribed dose · FDA warning letter: None found in the published index described above Evidence: Prices captured first-party September 8, 2026. We ordered from this provider, received the shipment, and scored it against our published rubric.
Pricing breakdown
| What you pay | First month | Ongoing at maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Membership | $39 | $79 |
| Semaglutide 2.67 mg example | Medication separate | About $178 total |
| Tirzepatide 8.8 mg example | Medication separate | About $253 total |
Medication charges came separately from membership. At maintenance, semaglutide cost about $178 total and tirzepatide about $253, far above the advertised $79 membership.
What we found
We completed the required Google Meet visit, received same-day approval, and got medication after two days of prescribing and two more days of delivery. The shipment arrived in a tiny box inside a Mochi-branded metal water bottle, with two loose ice packs and limited insulation. We had to call support because the portal cancellation button failed, while email did not count.
Pharmacy
Mochi listed Cells and Drug Crafters among seven partners, with no disciplinary actions appearing on file.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Dose-based medication pricing
- Shipping included
- No lab work required
Cons
- Separate $79 membership
- Limited package insulation
- Cancellation required support follow-up
Bottom line
Mochi suits dose-based pricing, but compare total costs and verify cancellation because medication shipping and instructions fell short.
Eden – Best for Flat Medication Pricing With a Membership
Grade: C · Best for: Buyers who want a flat medication price but accept a separate platform fee · FDA warning letter: 728279, June 8, 2026 Evidence: Prices captured first-party September 8, 2026. We ordered from this provider, received the shipment, and scored it against our published rubric.
Pricing breakdown
| What you pay | First month | Ongoing at maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Membership | $39 | $99 |
| Compounded semaglutide | $99 | $99 |
| Total semaglutide | $138 | $198 |
At maintenance, semaglutide costs $198 monthly, including membership. Tirzepatide costs $298, despite advertised medication prices of $199.
What we found
We received the shipment within three days of intake, with two ice packs, insulated packaging, extra sharps, and alcohol wipes. We recorded two-day shipping, tracking by email and portal, and prescription approval two days after intake. We canceled with one portal button, effective immediately, and received no further charge.
Pharmacy
Eden lists Boothwyn Pharmacy, Precision Pharmacy, GoGoMeds, Precision, Enovex, and AbsolutePharmacy; Boothwyn had an active probation record with multiple disciplinary actions.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Flat medication price at every dose
- Protected shipment with ice packs
- Extra sharps and alcohol wipes
Cons
- Required $99 membership
- FDA warning letter 728279
- Limited prescriber information
Bottom line
Eden offers quick ordering and flat medication pricing, but its membership, pharmacy record, limited prescriber information, and FDA warning letter weaken its value.
Hims & Hers – Best for a Branded Platform With Digital Support
Grade: C · Best for: Buyers who want brand-name access through a large digital platform · FDA warning letter: 716567 and 716825, September 9, 2025 Evidence: Prices captured first-party September 8, 2026. We did not order from this provider; published information and remote checks only.
Pricing breakdown
| What you pay | First month | Ongoing at maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Membership | $39 | $149 |
| Wegovy pen from | $199 | Starting price; higher doses may cost more |
| Zepbound vial from | $299 | Starting price; higher doses may cost more |
Medication requires membership. At maintenance, buyers pay $149 plus medication, with Wegovy from $199 or Zepbound from $299. These are starting prices, not verified maintenance prices.
What we found
We did not order from Hims & Hers, so we could not measure approval or delivery. The site stated approval could take 1-2 days and arrival 3-5 days. We could not measure cancellation timing.
Pharmacy
The terms named Apostrophe, XeCare, Curexa, Red Rock, AnazaoHealth, and Strive Specialties; AnazaoHealth had one disciplinary Final Order and stipulated settlement for license OUT01471, filed 01/19/2023, while Strive had one disciplinary action for Y007406, under Board Case 22-0668, dated 02/07/2024.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Brand-name medication options
- Nutrition and behavior tools
- Ongoing provider messaging
Cons
- $149 monthly membership
- Medication is separate
- Two FDA warning letters
Bottom line
Compare medication pricing at your dose, the $149 membership, cancellation terms, and FDA letters before enrolling.
Henry Meds – Best for Oral Compounded Options
Grade: D · Best for: Buyers seeking oral compounded semaglutide or oral compounded tirzepatide · FDA warning letter: None found in the published index described above Evidence: Prices captured first-party September 8, 2026. We ordered from this provider, received the shipment, and scored it against our published rubric.
Pricing breakdown
| What you pay | First month | Ongoing at maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Injectable compounded semaglutide | $297 | $297 |
| Six-month plan | – | $247 equivalent |
| Twelve-month plan | – | $197 equivalent |
Henry Meds’ $297 tier covers up to 10 mg every 70 days. A 2.4 mg weekly maintenance schedule uses about 10.3 mg in 30 days, so the advertised price does not cover that amount.
What we found
We received a provider meeting the next day and a prescription the same day. The shipment arrived through two-day shipping with tracking, two ice packs, insulated foam, supplies, instructions, and ondansetron. We emailed outside business hours, and the company canceled promptly after reopening without questions.
Pharmacy
Tailor Made Pharmacy fulfilled our order, while Henry Meds lists Colchis Medical Services PC as its clinician partner; Tailor Made Compounding LLC, permit #P07728, had a Kentucky disciplinary record.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Oral compounded options
- Multiple semaglutide formats
- Cold shipping with two ice packs
Cons
- Maintenance dose exceeds advertised quantity
- No injectable tirzepatide
- Pharmacy had a past disciplinary record
Bottom line
Confirm the medication, quantity, dose, and cancellation terms before paying.
Found – Best for an All-In Compounded Plan
Grade: D · Best for: Buyers who want flat bundled cash pricing and a broader care program · FDA warning letter: None found in the published index described above Evidence: Prices captured first-party September 8, 2026. We did not order from this provider; published information and remote checks only.
Pricing breakdown
| What you pay | First month | Ongoing at maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Semaglutide cash plan | $179 per 28-day cycle | $289 per 28-day cycle |
| Tirzepatide cash plan | $219 per 28-day cycle | $359 per 28-day cycle |
Found bills by 28-day cycle, not calendar month. The plan includes clinical care, medication and membership.
What we found
We did not order from Found, so we cannot confirm delivery, approval, cancellation timing or billing cessation. Found did not identify a dispensing pharmacy, and we found no disciplinary record in the available information.
Bottom line
Found may suit buyers who accept 28-day billing and want bundled clinical care and medication. It does not earn a recommendation because we could not verify fulfillment or cancellation firsthand, and calendar-year costs are higher.
Shed – Best for Multiple Medication Formats
Grade: D · Best for: Buyers who want injections, drops, lozenges, or brand routes · FDA warning letter: None found in the published index described above Evidence: Prices captured first-party September 8, 2026. We ordered from this provider, received the shipment, and scored it against our published rubric.
Pricing breakdown
| What you pay | First month | Ongoing at maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide | $199 | $199 month-to-month |
| Compounded tirzepatide | $299 | $299 month-to-month |
What we found
We received an insulated package with gel packs, medication, extra sharps, alcohol wipes, instructions, and tracking. Approval came the same day as our consultation, the prescription went to the pharmacy the next day, and cancellation still required paying the two-month minimum.
Bottom line
Shed suits buyers who value multiple formats, portal access, and included shipping. Its named pharmacy partners include Strive, Promise, Foothills, WP Pharma Labs, Red Rock, and Everwell; Strive and Promise locations had disciplinary records.
The $199 semaglutide and $299 tirzepatide prices apply at maintenance, but the two-month commitment and unclear brand membership fee weaken the value.
IViM Health – Best for an Insurance Concierge Model
Grade: D · Best for: Buyers who want a broader program and insurance support · FDA warning letter: 721816, February 20, 2026 Evidence: Prices captured first-party September 8, 2026. We ordered from this provider, received the shipment, and scored it against our published rubric.
Pricing breakdown
| What you pay | First month | Ongoing at maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Membership or program fee | About $74.99 | About $75 |
| Semaglutide | $149 | $149 or included, depending on page |
What we found
We received approval the same day as our video consultation, and the medication shipped eight days later by overnight delivery. The package arrived cool and secure with ice packs, sharps, alcohol wipes, tracking, and storage and injection instructions; cancellation took one portal button, but Jump Start locked us into two months of membership fees.
Bottom line
IViM may suit buyers seeking provider access, coaching, insurance support, and cold-chain delivery. It does not earn a recommendation. Its pricing conflicts across pages, it holds FDA warning letter 721816, and it will not name its pharmacies. We traced the one that filled our own order, Pharmcore Inc. doing business as Hallandale Pharmacy, and found a long disciplinary record across several state boards.
SkinnyRx – Best for Multiple Formats With a Warning
Grade: D · Best for: Buyers who want injectable, tablet, or sublingual formats and will avoid long bundles · FDA warning letter: 717989, February 20, 2026 Evidence: Prices captured first-party September 8, 2026. We ordered from this provider, received the shipment, and scored it against our published rubric.
Pricing breakdown
| What you pay | First month | Ongoing at maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Tirzepatide plan | $99 | $225 on 12-month; $250 on 6-month; $289 on 4-month; $299 month-to-month |
| Tablets | $149 | $199 to $299 by term |
What we found
We completed intake, received approval in two days, and received the medication three days later by overnight shipping. We received a cold vial, extra sharps, limited alcohol wipes, and anti-nausea medication; cancellation required a call and about 10 minutes on hold.
Bottom line
SkinnyRx suits buyers seeking injectable, tablet, or sublingual formats who accept complex pricing and bundle commitments. It does not earn a recommendation because Promise Pharmacy had a documented disciplinary record and FDA warning letter 717989, dated February 20, 2026.
Pomegranate – Best Held for Availability
Grade: F · Best for: Readers tracking a previously ordered provider, not new buyers seeking a confirmed current price · FDA warning letter: None found in the published index described above Evidence: Prices captured first-party September 8, 2026. We ordered from this provider, received the shipment, and scored it against our published rubric.
Pricing breakdown
| What you pay | First month | Ongoing at maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide | Not obtainable; marked sold out | Not obtainable |
| Membership or consultation | Amount unknown | Amount unknown |
What we found
We ordered medication and received it within three days of approval, with delivery arriving in two days. The package included two large ice packs, extra sharps, alcohol wipes, instructions, and a medication vial; phone support reached voicemail twice, while cancellation required emailing a provider.
Bottom line
Pomegranate publicly listed BPI Labs, Empower, Hallandale, RedRock, and OptioRx; two RedRock locations had resolved paid citations. It does not earn a recommendation for new buyers because compounded products are sold out, current fees remain unknown, and support was difficult to reach.
MEDVi – Best Treated as Unpriced
Grade: F · Best for: Readers comparing a brand route who can obtain a complete written quote · FDA warning letter: 721455, February 20, 2026 Evidence: Prices captured first-party September 8, 2026. We ordered from this provider, received the shipment, and scored it against our published rubric.
Pricing breakdown
| What you pay | First month | Ongoing at maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded injection | Starting at $179; molecule and dose unnamed | Not calculable |
| Brand membership | $99 plus medication | Medication price not fully recorded |
What we found
We received an insulated shipment three days after same-day prescription approval, containing the vial, extra sharps, wipes, instructions, and tracking. Phone support did not provide the pharmacy name; an email later identified Link Compound Pharmacy, which had no disciplinary actions we found, while cancellation required chat referral and email.
Bottom line
MEDVi does not earn a recommendation because it withholds the molecule, dose, maintenance price, and clear renewal terms. FDA warning letter 721455 says MEDVi implied it compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide when it did not.
How to Choose an Online GLP-1 Provider
Compare the renewal price
The first-month offer is often the least useful number. Compare the renewal price at the maintenance dose you expect to take. A plan that begins at $129 and renews at $249 is a $249 plan for most treatment.
Ask for the first-month price, renewal price, billing-cycle length, prepaid-plan refund rules, and dose-related price changes. A 28-day cycle is not the same as a calendar month. Found’s $359 per 28-day cycle works out to about $390 per calendar month over a year.
Add the separate platform fee
A membership fee may cover clinical access, coaching, labs, or insurance support. It remains part of the cost.
Ro, Hims & Hers, Eden, Mochi Health, IViM Health, WeightWatchers Clinic, LifeMD, and PlushCare use a separate or additional program fee in at least one route. Medication price alone is not their total.
Ask whether the quoted price includes the clinician visit, follow-up visits, medication, shipping, supplies, labs, dose changes, and platform fee.
Find the dispensing pharmacy
A provider should name the pharmacy that dispenses the medication. “A licensed pharmacy” is not a pharmacy name.
Ask whether the pharmacy is a 503A pharmacy or a 503B outsourcing facility, which state licenses it, and which pharmacy will fill your prescription. Also ask what happens if the pharmacy changes.
Read the cancellation rule
The easiest model has no automatic renewal. GobyMeds states that it does not offer subscriptions or automatic renewals.
Other providers use cancellation deadlines, medical-review fees, minimum terms, phone-only processes, no-refund rules, or remaining-balance obligations. Save the deadline and confirmation email. “Cancel anytime” does not show whether a shipment already in process can stop.
Compare brand and compounded medication
FDA-approved brand products and compounded products are not interchangeable. Brand medication has FDA-reviewed labeling, manufacturing, and clinical-trial evidence. Compounded medication is not FDA-approved and depends on pharmacy processes and prescriber use.
Review GLP-1 side effects before choosing a product. The pharmacy details behind these plans appear in compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide.
Manufacturer-Direct and Retail Routes
These routes differ from telehealth memberships. Some route medication without prescribing it. Others offer a paid visit and send the prescription to a pharmacy.
| Route | Platform fee | Prescriber included? | Medication or care price | Main condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LillyDirect | None | No | Zepbound vial and KwikPen: $299 at 2.5 mg, $399 at 5 mg, $449 at 7.5–15 mg | Miss the 45-day refill window and higher regular prices apply |
| NovoCare Pharmacy | None | No | Wegovy pill $149, $199, or $299; pen $199 for first two fills, then $349; HD $399 | The $199 pen offer ends December 31, 2026 |
| TrumpRx | None found | No | Wegovy pill $149, Wegovy pen $199, Ozempic $199, Zepbound $299 | Self-pay only; government beneficiaries excluded |
| Walgreens Weight Management | None | Yes | $49 per visit; medication separate | Available in 28 named states; follow-up visits also cost $49 |
| CVS MinuteClinic | None | Yes | $29 weight-loss consultation; medication price unknown | Labs are extra; compounded GLP-1s are not prescribed |
| Optum Perks | None | No, unless you pay $39 per prescription request for Online Care | Coupon prices vary by pharmacy and location | Coupons cannot be combined with insurance |
| Amazon One Medical on-demand care | One Medical membership is optional; care fee $39 | Yes | $39 care fee; medication separate | Government insurance excluded; compounded GLP-1s unavailable through this route |
| Costco Success by Sesame | Costco membership plus $59 monthly on a 12-month term or $99 month-to-month | Yes | Medication separate | The $59 rate requires a 12-month commitment |
These routes charge medication or care separately from membership costs. LillyDirect is a pharmacy route, not a medical membership. A prescriber is still required.
FDA Red Flags for Online GLP-1 Sellers
FDA warns consumers to be cautious when a company:
- Claims a compounded product is the same as an FDA-approved drug
- Offers a price that seems too good to be true
- Ships medication that arrives warm, damaged, or without instructions
- Does not require screening and a prescription from a licensed doctor
- Provides no licensed doctor to answer questions after delivery
- Uses spelling errors or an incorrect pharmacy address on the label
- Lists a pharmacy name that may be fraudulent
Check the label when the package arrives. Confirm the patient name, drug name, concentration, directions, pharmacy, and storage instructions.
FDA has issued three telehealth enforcement rounds: 58 letters on September 9, 2025, 30 letters on February 20, 2026, and 25 letters on June 8, 2026.
How This Ranking Was Built
The Pricing & Transparency Grade measures what you pay and how hard it is to stop. It does not measure clinical quality or encode an FDA warning letter.
- A means one bundled price, flat at every dose, self-serve cancellation, and a named pharmacy.
- B means one friction, such as dose scaling, a cancellation charge, phone-only cancellation, or an undisclosed pharmacy.
- C means a separate membership or program fee is added to medication.
- D means two or more frictions, or a pricing contradiction on the provider’s own site.
- F means no obtainable price.
Every price in the grade set came from a provider’s own site on September 8, 2026.
We ordered from 16 of the 19 providers, received the shipments, and scored what arrived. We did not order from Ro, Found and Hims & Hers. Their entries rely on published information and checks we could run without shipments.
A warning letter never changes a pricing grade. A provider can receive an A for transparent pricing while carrying an FDA warning letter. Orderly Meds is an A in this rubric, while its letter appears in the table.
Pricing evidence and ordering evidence are different sets. Read the full ranking methodology for the scoring scope and limitations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the cheapest online GLP-1 provider the best choice?
No. The lowest first-month price may be introductory, tied to a microdose, or based on a prepaid annual rate. Compare the renewal cost at the maintenance dose. Then add membership fees, shipping, labs, and cancellation exposure.
Which provider has no membership fee?
Peak Wellness, GobyMeds, Amble, Orderly Meds, and several others make first-party no-membership statements for specific routes. Some providers bundle fees without saying “no membership.” Others charge only for brand medication.
See online GLP-1 providers without membership fees for a fee-focused comparison.
Does an FDA warning letter disqualify a provider?
Not necessarily. A warning letter identifies FDA concerns about specific marketing or labeling conduct. It does not establish every fact about a provider’s clinical service.
Read the letter, identify the cited conduct, and ask what changed. The absence of a letter also does not certify a provider.
Are compounded GLP-1 products FDA-approved?
No. Compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide are not FDA-approved products. They may be compounded under specific federal and state conditions, but they do not carry the same FDA approval as Wegovy, Zepbound, or other approved medications.
Do I need insurance?
No. The providers here include cash-pay routes. Insurance may reduce the cost of an FDA-approved medication if your plan covers it. Before paying cash, check whether your plan covers an approved product and whether prior authorization or an appeal is available.
The cash-pay GLP-1 guide covers that decision.
What should I ask before ordering?
Ask for the medication name, concentration, dose, renewal price at the expected maintenance dose, and every separate membership, program, consult, lab, or shipping fee.
Ask which pharmacy will dispense the prescription and whether the medication is compounded or FDA-approved. Confirm the cancellation process, required notice, warm-package policy, and post-delivery dosing support.
The provider that answers clearly is easier to evaluate than the provider with the lowest headline price.
