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
FormBlends
What we like
- Low published entry price on compounded semaglutide ($99) from a licensed 503A pharmacy
- Physician-supervised program with 24/7 care-team access and free shipping over $150
- Extensive free educational content, guides and provider comparisons on-site
Watch-outs
- Enrollment and final pricing complete on an external portal (rx.formscripts.com), not fully on-site
- $99 may be an intro rate; tirzepatide is comparatively high at $349/mo
- State availability and LegitScript status not published; pharmacy is its own FormScripts brand
