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
RxSaludable
What we like
- Spanish-language platform with Spanish-speaking, U.S.-licensed providers — a genuine gap in GLP-1 telehealth
- Compounded semaglutide $99 first month ($179/mo after) and tirzepatide $189 first month; same price at every dose, no membership fee
- LegitScript-certified (#50274281); free expedited shipping; named obesity-medicine physicians
- Same-day doctor visits, 24/7 support, FSA/HSA eligible, cancel anytime
Watch-outs
- Ongoing prices ($179-289/mo) are mid-range once the first-month intro ends
- Doesn't name its compounding pharmacy partners (generic 'certified pharmacies')
- No legal entity name or explicit state-coverage list published on the site
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved (the site discloses this)
