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.

Eden

Ranked #77 · Grade C

FDA warning letter #728279 (Jun. 2026), which names tryeden.com. Read live on 2026-08-26, the GLP-1 page prices compounded semaglutide at $99 a month and compounded tirzepatide at $199 — and the asterisk under both figures is the part that changes the math. It reads: price includes medication only, an active Eden Membership is required at $39 for the first month and $99 a month thereafter, and medication is not available without a membership. So this is two line items, not one, and the second one is not next to the number on the page. What Eden does give you is range: brand Zepbound, Ozempic and Mounjaro at $1,399 a month and Wegovy at $1,695, each on its own product page marked In Stock, alongside the compounded lane. It says it serves GLP-1 programs in all fifty states, and its "same price at every dose" policy means titrating up does not raise the medication line. Cancellation is self-serve in the portal, though the Terms want 48 hours' notice before a renewal and make charges non-refundable once an order is fulfilled.

SnagRx

Ranked #44 · Grade C

Compounded semaglutide at $69 a month and tirzepatide at $119, one flat price that SnagRx says covers the medication, the supplies, the doctor review and shipping, with no membership fee and cancellation by email or phone. Both figures are advertised against struck-through list prices of $299 and $399 under a live countdown clock, and the promise to lock that rate for life is marketing rather than a published term. It ships from licensed US pharmacies it never names, and publishes no list of the states it serves.

MadeMed

Ranked #56 · Grade C

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.

QuickMD

Ranked #86 · Grade C

A high-volume general telehealth platform, not a GLP-1 specialist — $99 flat for a one-time doctor consultation with no membership, but the medication cost is billed separately and never itemized, so the real monthly total is unknown until you fill the prescription.

Pallas Health

Ranked #2 · Grade B+

Pallas Health removes the two things that usually cost a working parent the most time: it publishes every price before intake, and it runs care asynchronously in 43 of 50 states, so there's no video appointment to wedge into a workday. Compounded semaglutide averages about $199 a month and tirzepatide $299, and unusually the genuine FDA-approved pens sit alongside them — Zepbound $1,069, Ozempic $1,299, Wegovy and Mounjaro $1,349 — all cash-pay from the same clinician. The price is flat at every dose, so a titration never produces a surprise bill, and the plan figure already contains the clinician, dose adjustments, check-ins and messaging with no membership fee. Its cancellation terms are unusually concrete: cancel free through the portal, keep access to the end of the paid period, full refund if a clinician declines you, and a $5 processing fee on a qualifying refund. The trade-offs are that billing lands every 12 weeks in $597 and $897 blocks rather than monthly, the compounding pharmacy is never named, and insurance is never billed.

AskRx

Ranked #46 · Grade C

AskRx solves the pricing question most of this page leaves open, and creates a different one. Its care fee is itemized in its own footnote — $90/month physician visit, $10/month fulfilment, $100 total — and the medication is billed separately through its own pharmacy, at cost, with both halves shown at checkout. If you have ever wondered how much of a blended monthly price is the drug and how much is margin, this is the provider that answers it. It is FDA-approved only ('No compounded meds'), so the options are the Wegovy pen, the Wegovy pill, Zepbound in pen or KwikPen form, and Foundayo, the oral tirzepatide. All 50 states, board-certified physicians with obesity-medicine training, unlimited messaging, monthly titration, cancel anytime. Two logistics notes that matter on a workday. First, $100 is a floor: no medication price is published, so your real monthly total is unknown until checkout and depends on coverage. Second — and read this one if scheduling is your constraint — 'video visits available in select states' means the async route is not universal here, so confirm your own state before assuming you can do this without a call.

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.

Sequence by WeightWatchers

Ranked #30 · Grade C

The insurance-and-brand heavyweight: a WeightWatchers-run membership that routes you toward FDA-approved product and insurance coverage, with a video visit required in some states — the membership fee and the medication bill are two separate charges.
