PeterMD and NewSelf are both GLP-1 Providers competing for the same patients, but they make different trade-offs on price, coverage, and what's included. In our scoring, NewSelf starts lower at $100/mo versus $215.67/mo, and PeterMD is the option we'd start with for most patients. Below we break down pricing, what each plan covers, the six-dimension score, pros and cons, and exactly who should pick which.

Pricing

PeterMD

Semaglutide Injections (flat, all dose tiers)Compounded
$270/mo
semaglutide

The '$105/mo' printed on PeterMD's GLP-1 page is not a rate you can pay — its own Buy Now leads elsewhere. This is the month-to-month subscription: $417 struck to $270, medicine included, same price at every dose, cancel anytime.

Weight Loss Combo: GLP1 + Sermorelin + B12 (marketed as '+ Phentermine'; 8-12 week vial)Compounded
$601.5/mo
semaglutide

Advertised as 'Semaglutide (GLP1) + Phentermine + B12 — $158.50 per month', but the product it adds to your cart is a $601.50 GLP-1 + Sermorelin + B12 bundle — no phentermine — and one vial 'will last 8-12 weeks'.

Tirzepatide (billed quarterly)Compounded
$215.67/mo
tirzepatide

'Get Started for $149' is not chargeable: the page's own Add To Cart produces a $647.00 total with no $149 anywhere in it. $647 a quarter is about $215.67 a month.

Tirzepatide 60mg Plan (billed quarterly)Compounded
$215.67/mo
tirzepatide

Same as the lower tier: the '$149 to start' does not reach the cart, which totals $647.00 — about $215.67 a month.

NewSelf

Semaglutide+ (best price)Compounded
$100/mo
semaglutide

All dosages same price
