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
Society of You
What we like
- Two named partner pharmacies disclosed (Emerald Pharmacy, Striker Pharmacy)
- Injectable and oral tirzepatide plus semaglutide options
- Discounted first-month introductory pricing
Watch-outs
- Standard rates are high once the intro month ends ($279-$425/mo)
- Service-area states are not published on the marketing site
- Support details are not disclosed publicly
