Pros

  • Offers brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound as well as compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, so you are not locked into compounded product
  • Trustpilot rating of 4.3 across 4,535 reviews, one of the largest and healthiest review samples of any provider on this site
  • Membership, virtual visits, support groups, lifestyle coaching and prescription ordering are bundled at no extra cost
  • Cancel or pause the plan at any time to stop future billing
  • Full refund if you pay and a provider then determines you are not eligible for treatment
  • The compounded, not-FDA-approved disclosure is specific and easy to find
  • Testimonials are labelled honestly - the page states 'These Fridays members were paid for their testimonials', which most competitors do not admit
  • Oral and injectable formats, plus microdosing, longevity and testosterone lines for people wanting more than weight care

Cons

  • The pricing page contradicts itself in the same viewport, advertising 'Now as Low as $117/mo' and 'Now as Low as $150/mo' side by side, and listing 'Semaglutide: $117/mo (Lowest Price)' directly above 'Semaglutide: $150/mo (Lowest Price)'
  • Four separate plan cards display an unrendered template placeholder reading 'Save up to $xxx' instead of an actual figure
  • The headline '96.8% success rate' is stated three times with no definition of success, no sample size and no source
  • Prices are gated behind a maze of codes - NEWYOU12, NEWYOU3, NEWYOU1, NYNY12, NYNY3, NYNY1, FORBES, EXPERTISE, SHOP100 - and the terms confirm 'the discount will be applied to your first payment only'
  • The relationship between the advertised rate and the annual rate is presented confusingly, with semaglutide shown as 'Starting at $117 $150/mo' and '$279/mo with an annual plan' on the same card
  • No refunds or credits are given for partial plan periods unless required by law, so pausing mid-cycle does not get money back
  • The '$49 first month' offer converts to a prepaid annual plan, which means committing a year in advance to keep the low rate
  • Charges appear under a third party's name on your statement, which has caused confusion for customers of similar services

Medications

Pros

  • Published pricing from $149/month, with a second tier from $196/month
  • No insurance needed and no hidden fees, stated on the site
  • The site carries a results-may-vary disclaimer on its compounded medications

Cons

  • The FDA has formally told Harper Meds that its labelling and its "same active ingredient as Ozempic" claim misrepresented its compounded products - see the warning letter above
  • The medication is compounded and therefore not FDA-approved - the agency has not reviewed it for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
  • Compounded GLP-1 pricing in this tier is cheap partly because the product carries none of the trial programme, patent or distribution costs of the approved drug - and none of its regulatory review either
  • The "less than $5/day" framing converts to roughly $150 a month and is designed to sound smaller
  • No phone number, refund policy or pharmacy named
