Serves Illinois plus telemedicine in Texas, Colorado, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Arizona.

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 doctor messaging, quarterly check-ins and registered-dietitian access are included rather than upsold
- An optional twice-a-week dosing schedule and anti-nausea prescriptions when needed, aimed at the side effects that make people quit
- 21-day free membership trial, and a full refund if the doctor decides the medication isn't right for you
Watch-outs
- The advertised $59 and $69 exclude a mandatory $199 annual membership — the real first-year cost is $907 and $1,027
- After the 21-day trial the membership fee is non-refundable and no partial-period refunds are given
- Compounding pharmacies are described only as state-licensed US pharmacies and are never named
- Not available in six states: Alabama, California, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi and Washington
TeleSlim Clinic
What we like
- Board-certified obesity-medicine physicians oversee care
- LegitScript certified with a named dispensing pharmacy (Rush Pharmacy)
- Transparent, low monthly membership pricing with multi-month plans
Watch-outs
- Medication cost is separate from the 99-dollar membership and not clearly published
- Available in only six states
