About Glow
Glow is an AI weight-loss coach app from Endo Health, a San Francisco company, that also runs a separate compounded GLP-1 program. Physicians review your assessment by video or message, and two named pharmacies dispense. Semaglutide is $99 for the first month and then $199 a month; tirzepatide is $199, then $349. Enrollment starts in the Glow app, not on the website.

Glow
What we like
- Prices are on the homepage: semaglutide is $99 for the first month, then $199 a month
- The price covers the physician consultation, the medication and free shipping, with no insurance needed
- Names both dispensing pharmacies, with their addresses and phone numbers
- Offers semaglutide and tirzepatide injections, with oral versions also listed
- Physician visits can be by video or by message, and the site says assessments are reviewed within 24 hours
- Pairs with the Glow AI coach for meal plans and check-ins by call or text, sold separately
- Publishes a support phone number, and HSA or FSA cards are accepted
Watch-outs
- The $99 and $199 prices are first-month offers; semaglutide then costs $199 a month and tirzepatide $349
- Enrollment happens inside the Glow app, so you cannot see the checkout or billing terms on the website
- The site does not name the medical group whose physicians prescribe
- Medication refunds go through the dispensing pharmacy, and shipped medication generally cannot be returned
- Oral semaglutide and tirzepatide are listed without a price
- Not available in Alaska, Hawaii, North Carolina or South Carolina
- The AI coach is a separate paid app subscription billed through Apple or Google
- Only compounded medication is offered, with no brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound option
