About Collective

Pepti is a Delaware-registered telehealth platform selling doctor-prescribed compounded peptides and GLP-1s across 36 states. Injectable semaglutide is $99 a month all-in and tirzepatide $199, each covering medication, physician review, baseline labs, refill management and shipping in a single flat price that does not rise with dose. The catalog runs to more than 120 products across weight loss, hormones and TRT, recovery, cognitive and skin categories, plus at-home bloodwork. Pepti is a platform, not a prescriber, and does not bill insurance.

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
Pepti
What we like
- At $99/mo all-in, injectable semaglutide is among the cheapest prices we list.
- States plainly that all doses cost one flat monthly price, so titrating up never raises the bill.
- Publishes a page for each of the 36 states it serves, and the page count matches its claim exactly.
- Names the reviewing physician, Dr. Gene Lee MD, and discloses pepti LLC as the Delaware operating entity.
Watch-outs
- The homepage shows an "FDA Cleared" badge beside peptide therapy, though product pages correctly say compounded drugs are not FDA-approved.
- Neither the 503A nor the 503B compounding pharmacy is named, so you cannot check who dispenses.
- The listed address, a Newark Delaware suite, is a shared registered-agent address rather than a clinical office.
- Cash-pay only with no insurance billing, and the oral formulations jump to $249 and $399 a month.
Our Verdict
Collective edges out Pepti with a higher overall score of 8.3/10 and is particularly strong for the lowest flat medication price if you can absorb an annual membership fee. Pepti remains a solid alternative, especially if you're looking for the lowest all-in monthly price we list for compounded semaglutide, labs included.
