Alternatives to New Wave Health

New Wave Health lands at #242 on our ranking with a Rx-Readiness Score of 51/100. If it isn't the right fit, here are the strongest alternatives on our shortlist — scored on the same readiness rubric of speed to first dose, flat pricing, no-video signup, access, molecule choice and a clean off-ramp.

Top alternative

Ranked #55 · Grade C

MadeMed

A flat $239/mo semaglutide, $399/mo tirzepatide, no-video intake with free overnight shipping — but it's only live in 23 states, and most big population centers aren't on the list.

Collective

Ranked #145 · Grade C

The lowest medication price on this roster, and a headline that still leaves out a required charge. Compounded semaglutide is $59 a month and tirzepatide $69, flat at every dose and cancellable at any time — both requiring a $199 annual membership the pricing line never mentions. Counted properly the first year is $907 for semaglutide, about $76 a month, and $1,027 for tirzepatide, about $86, which remains among the cheapest anywhere even after the fee. It is operated by Health For Everyone Inc., trading as CollectiveOS, and positioned on being brought to you by the founder of Thrive Market and on GLP-1s without the 500% markup. There is a 21-day free trial before the membership charge, after which the fee is non-refundable with no partial periods returned. The compounding pharmacies are never named, no state list is published, and no time to first dose is given.

Gala Health

Ranked #6 · Grade B

A flat $179 for either molecule with a genuinely gentle microdosing tier — a reasonable, all-doses-included partner if you can live with a yearly plan and a pharmacy it doesn't name.

Live Vital

Ranked #20 · Grade C

$99/mo semaglutide, $183/mo tirzepatide, all 50 states, a named physician personally reviewing every intake, and a real 5-7 day timeline — on a broader peptide platform where GLP-1 pricing is genuinely invisible unless you know to pull the page's own data bundle.

WeightlessRx

Ranked #74 · Grade C

A no-membership-fee, quarterly-billed program — $167/mo semaglutide, $267/mo tirzepatide — bundling a GLP-1 fitness app, meal plans, and 1-on-1 nutrition coaching that most compounded-only competitors don't offer. It also publishes its own named comparison against Ro, Mochi Health, TrimRx, and Hims, an unusually direct move for this category.

Aurelius Health Group

Ranked #113 · Grade C

A one-product shop — compounded tirzepatide microdosing only, $89 the first month then $199/mo all-in, no live video visit described anywhere in the flow, and unusually candid on-site that the trial evidence for microdosing specifically is thin — but there's no semaglutide option at all, and no individual physician, pharmacy, or state list named anywhere on the site checked.

Elara Health and Wellness

Ranked #19 · Grade C

$183/mo semaglutide or $268/mo tirzepatide, with quarterly labs and coaching genuinely bundled in, four named pharmacies, and no live video visit described anywhere in its published intake — one of the better-documented options for a working mom's calendar, though pricier than the rock-bottom tiers.

Rx.com

Ranked #9 · Grade B−

The whole price table before you hand over a detail: $175/mo semaglutide with no commitment, flat at every dose. The advertised $146 is $875 prepaid for six months — and nothing renews on its own.

GobyMeds

Ranked #96 · Grade C

A 3-month starter-bundle model — $99/mo semaglutide, $133/mo tirzepatide, medication plus shipping, consult and an injection kit included — serving all 50 states with no membership fees.

The Edit

Ranked #11 · Grade B−

The Edit is one of the very few providers on this page that names both the medical practice writing your prescription and the pharmacy compounding it — Arora Health & Aesthetics, LLC and The Pharmacy Hub — rather than gesturing at 'licensed US providers'. Compounded semaglutide is $209 a month and tirzepatide $309, the same price at every dose, with the prescription, all injection supplies, the clinician visit and temperature-controlled two-day shipping inside that one number and no membership fee on top. First orders are $100 off, and three- and six-month plans bring the per-month equivalent down to $192 and $178 for semaglutide. It covers all 50 states and, unusually for this market, runs a complete Spanish-language version of the site rather than a machine-translated shim. The limits are real but narrow: it is compounded-only, so there is no FDA-approved Wegovy or Zepbound here, and there is no postpartum, breastfeeding or PCOS guidance anywhere on the site.

Assume any provider we list may compensate us — we may earn a commission, at no cost to you. It never changes a Rx-Readiness Score. Scores are our editorial judgment per the methodology. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
