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
Sprout Health
What we like
- LegitScript certification confirmed
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide available
- 44-state coverage via a pre-qualification quiz and licensed clinician review
- Two named 503A pharmacy partners: Foothills Pharmacy and Promise Pharmacy
Watch-outs
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
- Not available in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, or North Dakota
- Pharmacy partner accreditation details (PCAB/ACHC) not independently verified
- Brand-name Wegovy ($1,799/mo) and Zepbound ($1,999/mo) are priced near cash list price — compounded is the only affordable path here
