Metaboost Rx
What we like
- Named legal entity (Metaboost-Rx LLC) with real Terms, Privacy, and HIPAA Notice pages, not just boilerplate
- Flat per-program pricing with a 'no dose-change surcharges' promise — sema $249/mo, tirz $299/mo, microdose $199/mo
- Pay-after-approval funnel: eligibility check comes before payment, and Terms confirm a refund if a provider declines
- Adds a distinct lower-dose GLP-1 Microdose track for patients who want metabolic benefits without aggressive weight loss
Watch-outs
- Trustpilot 'Rated Excellent 4.8/5' and '300+ Google reviews' badges have zero outbound links — can't be independently verified
- A named customer's exact quote is reused as both a before/after photo caption and a separate 'Google review' — a templated-testimonial tell
- State availability is inconsistent: one FAQ claims 'all 50 states,' another says only 'the states where we operate,' with no published list
- Contact is a Gmail address (metaboostrx@gmail.com) and the listed address is a suite/mailbox-style unit, not a standalone clinic
- Cancellation terms conflict — Terms of Service say cancel anytime, but every program FAQ requires 30 days' notice before the next billing cycle
- No named compounding pharmacy partner and no LegitScript or PCAB accreditation shown anywhere on the site
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
