Glam Health
What we like
- Prices for semaglutide ($149) and tirzepatide ($175) shown upfront, before the intake quiz starts
- No forced subscription — FAQ states patients pay only for the treatments they choose
- Thorough pre-treatment medical safety screening covers standard GLP-1 contraindications
- Also offers NAD+ wellness plans alongside GLP-1 treatment
- Physical business address and phone number published in the footer
Watch-outs
- No Terms of Service or Privacy Policy page found — footer text is unlinked plain text
- No LegitScript certification found for glamhealth.com
- No named compounding pharmacy or legal business entity disclosed anywhere on the site
- State availability not publicly listed
- Signup funnel gates behind a name/contact form before any plan-selection or cart screen, so true billing cadence could not be independently confirmed
- Testimonials show only first names with no link to an external review platform
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
