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
Solaya MD
What we like
- Both molecules are offered in oral, injectable and microdose forms, which is a wider format range than most competitors.
- The telehealth platform is disclosed by name — Bask Health — rather than left as an unnamed vendor.
- The clinical disclaimer is unusually direct that completing the assessment does not create a doctor-patient relationship with the brand.
- Compounding is disclosed plainly, including that compounded medications are not FDA-approved.
- A full set of policy documents is published, covering refunds, cancellation, shipping and telehealth consent.
Watch-outs
- No price is published anywhere on the site — not on the treatment pages, the products section, or during the intake quiz.
- The membership fee is non-refundable once paid: "Once paid, your Membership Fee is non-refundable".
- Prescription sales are final — the refund policy states returns cannot be accepted for reuse or resale.
- Extra fees apply beyond the membership: $15 for each additional consult or lab interpretation and $125 for an at-home blood draw.
- The compounding pharmacy is never named, only "licensed U.S. pharmacy partners".
- Testimonials are presented as named patient results with no verification, and the same names recur across sections.
- State coverage is a blanket all-50 claim with no list published, and availability is qualified by pharmacy fulfillment capability.
