Avono Health
What we like
- Transparent tiered pricing from $179/mo (microdose semaglutide injection)
- Full compounded range — semaglutide and tirzepatide, injection and oral, microdose and standard
- Free and discreet shipping; 24/7/365 messaging support; 100% online
- US-licensed clinicians and pharmacies; bundle discounts at 3/6/12 months
Watch-outs
- Medications are compounded, not FDA-approved brand-name
- Compounding pharmacy not publicly named
- State availability not published
- Newer brand with limited independent review history
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 clinician messaging and registered-dietitian access are included rather than upsold
- 21-day free trial on the membership before the annual fee is charged
Watch-outs
- The advertised $59 and $69 exclude a mandatory $199 annual membership — the real first-year cost is $907 and $1,027
- Membership fees are non-refundable and no partial-period refunds are given
- Compounding pharmacies are described only as 'independent, third-party licensed pharmacies' and are never named
- State availability is not published on the marketing site
