About Docberry

Docberry is a Florida-based telehealth and longevity practice selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide through multi-month supply bundles managed in its own app. Its eligibility test screens for the recognized GLP-1 contraindications before anything else. The catch is that every GLP-1 price is a prepaid bundle — the advertised $169/mo is a 12-month plan costing $2,028 upfront, and no month-to-month option is offered.

Pros & Cons

Docberry

What we like

  • Eligibility test screens for pregnancy, substance use, eating disorders, diabetes, thyroid cancer and MEN first
  • Care and progress tracking run through a real published app on both iOS and Android
  • Publishes a toll-free support line, (800) 382-3276, as well as email
  • Also offers non-GLP-1 lipotropic options (Lipo-Mino $399, MICC $349) for people who cannot take a GLP-1

Watch-outs

  • No month-to-month option exists — the cheapest semaglutide entry is $796 paid upfront
  • The "Starting at $169/mo" headline is a 12-month prepay averaging $2,028 charged in one go
  • Tirzepatide works out at $582/mo, several times what most compounded sellers charge
  • No refund policy is published; the FAQ offers only to "address them on a case-by-case basis"
  • Neither the pharmacy nor the prescribing medical group is named
  • No state list is published, and the "in Florida" in page titles is search wording, not a stated limit

NewSelf

What we like

  • Semaglutide+ from $99.97/mo — among the lowest prices in the dataset
  • All dosages at the same price — no price escalation as dose increases
  • LegitScript certified with 503A licensed pharmacies
  • Third-party potency, sterility, and endotoxicity testing
  • 48 states + Puerto Rico coverage
  • B12/B6 + Glycine enhanced formulations
  • No membership fees

Watch-outs

  • Not available in Mississippi and Louisiana
  • Compounded only — no brand-name options
  • Site also promotes AI health optimization and longevity (broader platform)
