About Zappy Health
Zappy Health is a telehealth weight-loss platform offering both compounded and brand-name GLP-1: compounded semaglutide from $159/month and tirzepatide from $299/month, plus brand Wegovy and Zepbound. Pricing is flat — it doesn't rise with your dose — and longer subscriptions cost less. You complete an online visit and a licensed clinician prescribes if appropriate. Zappy operates in about 42 states (not HI, AL, AR, CA, KS, MI, MN or MS). Note that some third-party reports raise pharmacy-sourcing concerns.

Zappy Health
What we like
- Both compounded GLP-1 and brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound available
- Flat pricing that doesn't increase as your dose goes up
- Cheaper on longer subscriptions — compounded semaglutide from $159/month
- Online visit with a licensed clinician; no insurance required
Watch-outs
- Third-party reports of an order arriving with an unlicensed-pharmacy label
- Not available in 8 states (HI, AL, AR, CA, KS, MI, MN, MS)
- Operating legal entity isn't clearly disclosed on the site
- Lowest prices require a 9-month commitment
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
