AlyveRx
What we like
- Offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as both injections and needle-free sublingual drops for people who dislike needles
- Transparent monthly pricing shown upfront, no insurance required, and free discreet delivery
- Also carries brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro through its provider network
Watch-outs
- Does not publicly name its dispensing pharmacy or display a LegitScript seal, so third-party accreditation is unverified
- Sublingual GLP-1 absorption relies on the company proprietary PermeAct technology and is not FDA-reviewed for weight loss
- State availability is not published on the site
Collective
What we like
- The lowest published compounded GLP-1 medication prices we track — $59/month semaglutide and $69/month tirzepatide
- Flat pricing at every dose, so titrating up does not raise the bill
- Unlimited doctor messaging, quarterly check-ins and registered-dietitian access are included rather than upsold
- An optional twice-a-week dosing schedule and anti-nausea prescriptions when needed, aimed at the side effects that make people quit
- 21-day free membership trial, and a full refund if the doctor decides the medication isn't right for you
Watch-outs
- The advertised $59 and $69 exclude a mandatory $199 annual membership — the real first-year cost is $907 and $1,027
- After the 21-day trial the membership fee is non-refundable and no partial-period refunds are given
- Compounding pharmacies are described only as state-licensed US pharmacies and are never named
- Not available in six states: Alabama, California, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi and Washington
