Best for: FSA/HSA payers who will commit to a long plan and want pharmacies named
Visit Freeley →Collective and Freeley are both GLP-1 Providers competing for the same patients, but they make different trade-offs on price, coverage, and what's included. In our scoring, Collective starts lower at $59/mo versus $179/mo, and Collective edges ahead overall (8.3 vs 5.9 out of 10). Below we break down pricing, what each plan covers, the six-dimension score, pros and cons, and exactly who should pick which.
Pricing
Collective
Verbatim: 'Compounded Semaglutide: $59/month. Same price, every dose. Cancel anytime.' ⛔ EXCLUDES the required membership — the site states 'What does it cost? $59/month + $199 annual membership.' First-year total is $907 ($75.58/mo equivalent).
Verbatim: 'Compounded Tirzepatide: $69/month. Same price, any dose.' ⛔ EXCLUDES the required membership — 'The cost is $69/month + $199 annual membership.' First-year total is $1,027 ($85.58/mo equivalent).
Verbatim: 'Requires Collective membership: 21 day free trial, then a low annual $199 membership fee. No recurring monthly membership charges.' Charged yearly, not monthly. Terms of Use: 'all membership fees are non-refundable, and partial-period refunds are not provided.'
Freeley
The /pricing page states "Starts as low as $179 on the 24-month plan". The homepage instead says "from $199/month on the 12-month plan", and a capsule on that same homepage says "$99/mo · 12-mo plan". Freeley does not split price by drug.
Freeley advertises one GLP-1 price covering "Semaglutide or Tirzepatide compounded" and does not publish a separate tirzepatide rate.

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 Freeley
Freeley is a Texas-registered telehealth platform selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide alongside hair, sexual wellness and longevity programs, and it names its partner pharmacies. Its GLP-1 pricing is the problem: the site quotes three different headline figures across its own pages, and the cheapest rate requires a 24-month plan. No month-to-month price is published anywhere.

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
Freeley
What we like
- Names partner pharmacies on a dedicated page and again in the terms, with addresses and phone numbers
- Self-serve cancellation by turning off auto-refill in the portal, up to 48 hours before billing
- FSA and HSA accepted, which most compounded GLP-1 sellers do not take
- Assessment is free and states you pay nothing if you do not qualify
- Covers four categories, so one account handles weight, hair, sexual wellness and longevity
Watch-outs
- Three different GLP-1 headline prices across its own site: $99/mo, $179/mo and $199/mo
- The cheapest rate needs a 24-month plan, and a "Cancel Anytime" badge sits directly beside it
- No month-to-month GLP-1 price is published anywhere on the site
- Price is not split by drug, so semaglutide and tirzepatide buyers see one blended figure
- The partner-pharmacies page names Strive Pharmacy while the terms name The Pharmacy HUB and Triad Rx
- The privacy policy was last updated in September 2024, well behind the 2026 terms
- Contact details are collected at step two of the assessment, before the clinical questions
