Pros & Cons

FitRx

What we like

  • Insurance coordination for brand-name GLP-1s — as low as $25/mo
  • All four major brand-name GLP-1s available (Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro)
  • LegitScript certified
  • All 50 states + DC coverage
  • Compounded semaglutide from $151/mo quarterly for uninsured patients
  • Free consultations

Watch-outs

  • Insurance coordination may not work for all plans
  • Broader platform (birth control, mental health, hair loss, ED, skincare, primary care)
  • Compounded option is semaglutide only — no compounded tirzepatide

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
