Visit NewSelf →Sunlight 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, Sunlight starts lower at $88/mo versus $100/mo, and Sunlight 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
Sunlight
Treatment card reads 'Semaglutide (Compounded) $88' and the FAQ confirms 'semaglutide starts at $88 and tirzepatide at $157. Each flat monthly rate includes your prescription'. A banner frames it as 'Summer Promo! As low as $88', but the site also promises 'Same price forever. No price increases ever. No hidden Fees.', so it is recorded as the standing rate rather than an intro price.
Treatment card reads 'Tirzepatide (Compounded) $157'; the FAQ confirms the same flat monthly rate, under the same 'Same price forever' guarantee.
