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 Human+
Human+ (HUMAN+, INC.) is an 'at-cost' telehealth membership in all 50 states: you pay a flat monthly fee and prescriptions are billed at pharmacy-wholesale cost rather than marked up. Weight loss is one of its treatment categories (with hair, sexual wellness, mental health, and labs), filled through US 503A compounding pharmacies and reviewed by board-certified clinicians after a 5-minute intake. Medicine ships in plain packaging. Specific GLP-1 medications and pricing are shown during intake, not published publicly; compounded medications are not FDA-approved.

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
Human+
What we like
- Cost-transparent model: a flat monthly membership with prescriptions billed at pharmacy-wholesale cost instead of marked up
- Available via telehealth in all 50 states
- Filled by US 503A compounding pharmacies and reviewed by board-certified US-licensed clinicians
- Fast, fully online 5-minute intake with provider review often within hours; discreet plain packaging
- Covers weight loss plus hair, sexual wellness, mental health, and labs under one membership
Watch-outs
- Specific GLP-1 medications and pricing are not published — you only see them after starting the intake
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved — not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
- LegitScript certification is shown only as a self-hosted badge; no verifiable LegitScript seal was found
- Minimal public-facing site and a flat membership fee on top of the medication cost
