Measured
What we like
- Membership includes 1:1 nutrition support and board-certified provider care
- Both compounded (from $79/mo microdose, $119 semaglutide, $229 tirzepatide) and brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound
- Insurance or cash-pay options for brand-name medications
- Oral option available (Wegovy pill); cancel-anytime membership
Watch-outs
- Membership ($49/mo) is billed separately on top of medication cost
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved
- Compounding/dispensing pharmacies not individually named
- State availability not published
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
