In our scoring, Collective starts lower at $59/mo versus $149/mo, and Collective edges ahead overall (8.3 vs 6.9 out of 10). Below we break down pricing, what each plan covers, the six-dimension score, pros and cons, and exactly who should pick which.
Pricing
Fitstry
'Starting at $149 — Compounded semaglutide — the GLP-1 most people have in mind. A weekly shot you do at home.'
'Starting at $199 — Compounded tirzepatide — a dual GLP-1 and GIP option.'
'Starting at $249 — GLP-1 Tablets — one dissolvable tablet per day.' Note the oral form is the DEAREST of the three.
Microdosing options start at $169/mo; the exact price and molecule are confirmed after the free screening.
Collective
Verbatim: 'Compounded Semaglutide: $59/month. Same price, every dose. Cancel anytime.' ⛔ EXCLUDES the required membership — the site states 'What does it cost? $59/month + $199 annual membership.' First-year total is $907 ($75.58/mo equivalent).
Verbatim: 'Compounded Tirzepatide: $69/month. Same price, any dose.' ⛔ EXCLUDES the required membership — 'The cost is $69/month + $199 annual membership.' First-year total is $1,027 ($85.58/mo equivalent).
Verbatim: 'Requires Collective membership: 21 day free trial, then a low annual $199 membership fee. No recurring monthly membership charges.' Charged yearly, not monthly. Terms of Use: 'all membership fees are non-refundable, and partial-period refunds are not provided.'

Fitstry
What we like
- Transparent pricing before you commit — compounded semaglutide from $179/mo, tirzepatide from $269/mo, oral GLP-1 from $209/mo (annual plan)
- Free screening with a one-time $99 program fee that is fully refunded if a clinician can't prescribe ('Approved, or Your $99 Back')
- Monthly price bundles a lab panel (CMP, A1c, lipids, TSH), unlimited clinician access, bi-weekly care coaching and a 24/7 Care Line
- Runs under Weightstry, LLC, a LegitScript-certified practice with an independently verifiable seal, a named support email and phone
- Full compounded lineup — weekly injection, daily oral tablet and microdosing options
Watch-outs
- Month-to-month pricing is notably higher than the annual plan ($249 vs $179 semaglutide, $339 vs $269 tirzepatide)
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only — no brand-name (Wegovy/Zepbound) options
- Framed for women 40+, and serves 49 states rather than all 50 (the excluded state isn't disclosed publicly)
- Works with state-licensed compounding pharmacies but doesn't name a specific pharmacy partner on the Fitstry page
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-reviewed or approved — a different evidence and regulatory tier than brand-name
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
