Pricing
Sumbare Wellness
Published as $199/mo and described as flat-rate with no consultation charge and no dose-change surcharge. The site says the plan is 'confirmed after provider review', so treat $199 as a from-price.
Same flat $199/mo plan; the site publishes no separate tirzepatide price and no per-dose tiers.
Collective
Verbatim: 'Compounded Semaglutide: $59/month. Same price, every dose. Cancel anytime.' ⛔ EXCLUDES the required membership — the site states 'What does it cost? $59/month + $199 annual membership.' First-year total is $907 ($75.58/mo equivalent).
Verbatim: 'Compounded Tirzepatide: $69/month. Same price, any dose.' ⛔ EXCLUDES the required membership — 'The cost is $69/month + $199 annual membership.' First-year total is $1,027 ($85.58/mo equivalent).
Verbatim: 'Requires Collective membership: 21 day free trial, then a low annual $199 membership fee. No recurring monthly membership charges.' Charged yearly, not monthly. Terms of Use: 'all membership fees are non-refundable, and partial-period refunds are not provided.'

Sumbare Wellness
What we like
- One flat $199/month price covering medication, provider review and shipping, with no consultation fee and no dose-change surcharge
- Charges nothing if a provider does not approve you
- Offers a deliberate low-dose microdosing protocol aimed at body composition, which most competitors do not break out
- Publishes a named legal entity, a US mailing address and a working phone number
- Pre-screening quiz is short and asks your goal before any medical question
Watch-outs
- Cancellation terms contradict three ways: the homepage says cancel anytime, the Terms say 48 hours notice, the FAQ says 30 days
- Availability is unclear: the homepage counter reads 3 states while the treatment pages say telehealth nationwide, and no state list is published
- Its chart cites placebo-controlled trials of compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, which do not exist; those trials studied the branded drugs
- No compounding pharmacy is named, and neither 503A nor 503B appears anywhere on the site
- Any returned prescription is charged a $35 disposal fee, and prescription orders cannot be canceled at all after 24 hours
- No LegitScript certification and no third-party accreditation of any kind is displayed
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
