Pros & Cons

Gimme Care

What we like

  • All 50 states + DC coverage — broadest availability in the dataset
  • LegitScript verified
  • Both semaglutide and tirzepatide in compounded formats
  • Microdose options available for both drugs
  • No membership fees — price includes medication, physician, support, shipping, and supplies
  • Multi-month discount: semaglutide $130/mo on 3-month plan

Watch-outs

  • Five states require video/audio visits (KS, LA, MS, NM, WV)
  • Compounded only — no brand-name options
  • Also offers anti-aging treatments (NAD+, Sermorelin, Glutathione)

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
