Pros & Cons

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

Tuyo Health

What we like

  • Low starting price of 155 dollars per month for compounded semaglutide, all-inclusive
  • Offers both compounded and brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound, with an insurance option
  • Free same-week shipping, complimentary consults and periodic lab work included

Watch-outs

  • Service-area states not published
  • No specific compounding pharmacy named on the site
  • Brand-name plans add a separate 99 dollar membership fee
