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
FORM
What we like

- Named compounding pharmacy partner (Vios Pharmacy, Livonia MI) disclosed in the Privacy Policy.

- FDA-approved brand Wegovy® and Zepbound® available alongside compounded options.
- Broader wellness menu (NAD+, peptides, hair treatments) available under one account.
Watch-outs

- Account creation (email + password) is required before any health question or price confirmation inside the intake flow.
- Wegovy®/Zepbound® "$95 monthly membership" is an access fee — the actual medication cost via NovoCare/LillyDirect is not disclosed on-site.
