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
He & She MD
What we like
- Injectable semaglutide from $99/month on the annual plan, or $139/month on a six-month plan
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, injectable or oral, plus brand access to Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound
- Only charged if medication is prescribed, and no membership fees
- Every plan includes medication, injection supplies, free shipping and unlimited provider messaging
- GLP-1 coaching, nutrition guidance, and in-app progress tracking
- LegitScript-certified, and it names both compounding pharmacies it uses
- Ships to 49 states (all except Louisiana)
Watch-outs
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved finished products (per the site FDA disclaimer)
- Does not ship to Louisiana or to PO boxes
- The $99 and $159 headline rates require a full year prepaid in a single charge
- Month-to-month costs $199 for semaglutide and $299 for tirzepatide, roughly double the annual rate
- Six-month starter rates step up on renewal: semaglutide $139 to $199, tirzepatide $199 to $289
- Cash-pay model, insurance billing not indicated
