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.

Livbetr is a Miami telehealth company that sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, plus brand Ozempic and Zepbound, with prescribing by OpenLoop Health clinicians. The month-to-month plans charge $99 for semaglutide and $129 for tirzepatide every 21 days rather than once a month, which works out to about $143 and $187 a month. The $49 and $89 home-page prices are 12-month plans paid upfront.

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
Livbetr
What we like
- Names its medical group, OpenLoop Health, in its terms and privacy notice
- Checkout states the same price at every prescribed dose for both compounded drugs
- The refund policy promises a full automatic refund if the clinician does not approve treatment
- Publishes a phone line and support hours of 9am to 10pm Eastern, Monday through Saturday
- Cancellation works by phone, voicemail, email or portal message, with no retention call required
- Free overnight shipping and a 1:1 care coach are included in every plan
Watch-outs
- The month-to-month plan renews every 21 days, so a year can bring up to 18 charges rather than 12
- The home page says compounded doses ship every 4 weeks, which does not match the 21-day billing in the policy
- The $49 and $89 home-page prices are 12-month plans paid upfront at $588 and $1,068
- The Trustpilot rating shown on the site belongs to a different company, WellMedr, whose intake form Livbetr also uses
- Trustpilot says it removed the Livbetr profile for going against its guidelines
- Checkout promises a refund if you do not reach your goal, but the refund policy excludes lack of results
- The dispensing pharmacy is not named before you buy
- The intake projects a loss of 3.75 to 5 pounds a week, faster than the rapid-loss warning in its own disclosures
