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
Somi Health
What we like
- Among the lowest compounded prices: semaglutide $135/mo, tirzepatide $165/mo (3-month plan)
- Oral semaglutide tablet option for those who want no injections
- One price at any dose, with the medical visit and shipping included
- LegitScript Approved seal displayed; partnered with 503A pharmacies
- Free 2-5 day shipping; no insurance required
Watch-outs
- Compounded only - no brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic or Mounjaro
- Homepage advertises a 100% money-back guarantee but Terms state all sales are final, no refunds on medication
- Partner pharmacies are not individually named (material transparency gap)
- No single prescribing medical group named; only affiliated professional entities
- State availability not published; confirmed only during intake
