Zeuss is a multi-vertical telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide for weight loss alongside TRT, HRT, skin, and hair services. Its genuine differentiator is a no-subscription, one-time-purchase model — no auto-renewals or memberships, with a full refund if a physician can't prescribe. Bundled pricing covers provider review, medication, and cold-chain shipping; GLP-1 starts at $125/mo and tirzepatide at $175/mo.
Read our full Zeuss review →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
Zeuss
What we like
- One-time-purchase model with no subscription — genuinely rare among DTC GLP-1 providers
- Publishes the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer
- Names both 503A and 503B compounding pathways — uncommon transparency
- Bundled pricing covers provider review, meds, and cold-chain shipping with no hidden fees
- Full refund if a physician can't prescribe
- $125/mo starting price, competitive with the broader DTC market
- Temperature-controlled cold-chain shipping disclosed
- Gender-segmented Body services for patients who prefer male- or female-focused framing
Watch-outs
- 503A pharmacy partner not named (only generic '503A and 503B state-licensed' framing)
- LegitScript certification not mentioned
- No named medical director or physician leadership
- Full states-served list not disclosed
- Corporate legal entity not disclosed
- Governing law and arbitration venue not disclosed
- GLP-1 pages live at awkward URLs (/services/body-for-him/ and /services/body-for-her/)
- Corporate physical address not disclosed
