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.

Read our full Collective review →About Oria Meds
Oria Meds is a telehealth weight-loss clinic selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, each formulated with B12, through licensed U.S. providers. It names its dispensing pharmacy — PerfectRx in Flower Mound, Texas — which most compounded GLP-1 sellers do not. Pricing is flat across dose levels: semaglutide is $199 a month and tirzepatide $369 on the monthly plan, with a discounted first month and cheaper multi-month commitments.

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
Oria Meds
What we like
- Names its dispensing pharmacy — PerfectRx, Flower Mound TX, with address and phone — which most compounded GLP-1 sellers do not
- Flat pricing across all dose levels, so titrating up does not raise your monthly cost
- Both molecules are named at checkout: semaglutide and tirzepatide, each compounded with B12
- A discounted first month on the monthly plan — $89 semaglutide, $129 tirzepatide
- The intake is free and you are charged only after a provider approves treatment
- Home injection kit, free expedited shipping and unlimited medical support are included in every plan
- 0% installment financing is offered on the 3- and 6-month plans
Watch-outs
- The homepage advertises GLP-1 from $149 and dual GIP/GLP-1 from $249; neither figure appeared on the plan menu at checkout
- The molecule is never named on the public site — you only learn it is semaglutide or tirzepatide once you reach checkout
- Committing longer costs more for semaglutide: the 1-month plan is $199 a month, the 3- and 6-month plans are both $209
- Multi-month plans ship every 3 months, so a 6-month plan arrives as two shipments rather than six
- A countdown banner claims only one discount is left and reserves it for about nine minutes
- Medication is non-refundable once dispensed, including partially used or unopened vials
- Its terms name no legal entity, so there is no company to check against regulatory records
- The listed address is a Sheridan, Wyoming suite used by many registered-agent filings, not a clinical site
