Read our full Collective review →Pros & Cons
PrideRx
What we like
- All three brand-name GLP-1 options on one platform — Zepbound injection, Wegovy Pill, and Foundayo — no compounded substitutes
- Medication ships from and is billed by LillyDirect or NovoCare; PrideRx never handles or re-sells the drug
- Transparent published per-dose pricing with on-page verification dates
- $99/mo membership includes doctor visits and prescription management; 24-hour prescription review
Watch-outs
- $99/mo membership on top of medication cost — all-in runs $248–$548/mo depending on drug and dose
- Legal entity and prescribing medical group are not named on the site
- No LegitScript certification visible
- State availability is not published — telehealth consult rules vary by state
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
