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.

SexyMD is a Nevada telehealth brand better known for sexual-health prescribing that now sells compounded GLP-1 injections alongside it. Both weight-loss products are priced by commitment length rather than by dose: the GLP-1 injection runs $269/month on the 4-week plan down to $199 on a 48-week plan, and the GLP-1/GIP injection $369 down to $299. Financing through Affirm, Klarna and Afterpay is offered at checkout.
Read our full SexyMD review →Pros & Cons
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
SexyMD
What we like
- All four commitment tiers are published on the product page with the per-month rate for each, before any intake.
- The terms name the pharmacy types used — U.S.-licensed 503A pharmacies and 503B outsourcing facilities — rather than leaving fulfillment vague.
- Installment financing is offered through Affirm, Klarna and Afterpay, which is unusual at this price point.
- The legal entity is stated plainly: SexyMD LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, with a published Las Vegas address.
- Terms confirm prescriptions may be filled with either FDA-approved brand medication or compounded product, depending on provider determination.
Watch-outs
- The advertised "from $199 per month" is the 48-week commitment; the month-to-month rate is $269, about 35% higher.
- Product pages never name the molecule — they say "GLP-1" and "GLP-1 + GIP", and only the terms mention semaglutide and tirzepatide.
- The same three customer testimonials run on both product pages, including a GLP-1/GIP testimonial displayed on the semaglutide page.
- "Loved by 800+ women" is repeated across the site with no source or methodology given.
- No individual compounding pharmacy is named, only the 503A/503B categories.
- Support is email-only at hello@sexymd.com — no phone number or published hours.
- State coverage is hedged: available in all 50 states but "some exclusions may apply" depending on pharmacy licensing.
