Best for: the lowest flat medication price if you can absorb an annual membership fee
Visit Collective →Wellorithm and Collective 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, Collective starts lower at $59/mo versus $247/mo, and Wellorithm 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
Wellorithm
Not displayed on marketing pages; from the site's own public checkout catalog: $247/mo standing with '$100 off your first month' ($147), 3-month bundle $645 FIRST cycle only, renewing at $747 ($249/mo) — the earlier '$215/mo' read an intro as if it were the standing rate. Also undisclosed in our record until now: 'If medication isn't prescribed, the tele-health consult fee is $80.'
From the site's own public checkout catalog: '4 Weekly Subcutaneous Injections first month- $247 second month and on. $347'. Both figures moved down $2 since the last pass. The marketing landing page still advertises 'Starting at $249', so the marketing surface and the commerce layer disagree; the checkout is authoritative. The 3-month bundle $947 is the FIRST-cycle price only, renewing at $1,047 ($349/mo).
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.'

Wellorithm
What we like
- Four compounded GLP-1 formats: semaglutide and tirzepatide as injectables or oral dissolving tablets
- Available in 49 states — broader than most compounded GLP-1 providers
- Board-certified obesity specialists with virtual consultations
- Fast 2-minute quiz onboarding with async approval
- 24/7 support with a dedicated phone line
Watch-outs
- Not available in Louisiana
- Pricing not shown until you complete the intake quiz
- No visible LegitScript certification or PCAB accreditation
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved (stated on their 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
