About Collective
Collective (collective.org) is a membership-based telehealth platform from the founder of Thrive Market, selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide at a flat price on every dose. Medication is billed separately from a required annual membership, and the program bundles unlimited clinician messaging, dietitian access and express cold shipping.
Read our full Collective review →About Docberry
Docberry is a Florida-based telehealth and longevity practice selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide through multi-month supply bundles managed in its own app. Its eligibility test screens for the recognized GLP-1 contraindications before anything else. The catch is that every GLP-1 price is a prepaid bundle — the advertised $169/mo is a 12-month plan costing $2,028 upfront, and no month-to-month option is offered.

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
Docberry
What we like
- Eligibility test screens for pregnancy, substance use, eating disorders, diabetes, thyroid cancer and MEN first
- Care and progress tracking run through a real published app on both iOS and Android
- Publishes a toll-free support line, (800) 382-3276, as well as email
- Also offers non-GLP-1 lipotropic options (Lipo-Mino $399, MICC $349) for people who cannot take a GLP-1
Watch-outs
- No month-to-month option exists — the cheapest semaglutide entry is $796 paid upfront
- The "Starting at $169/mo" headline is a 12-month prepay averaging $2,028 charged in one go
- Tirzepatide works out at $582/mo, several times what most compounded sellers charge
- No refund policy is published; the FAQ offers only to "address them on a case-by-case basis"
- Neither the pharmacy nor the prescribing medical group is named
- No state list is published, and the "in Florida" in page titles is search wording, not a stated limit
