Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

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

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓The entire weight-loss line is FDA-approved branded medication - Wegovy pen and pill, Zepbound vial and KwikPen, Ozempic, Ozempic pill, Mounjaro and the new Foundayo pill - with no compounded product in the lineup
✓Genuinely competitive medication pricing for branded drugs: the Wegovy pill and Foundayo pill from $149/mo and the Wegovy pen and Ozempic from $199/mo (checked July 26, 2026)
✓A microdosing plan for the Wegovy pill is offered at the same $149/mo, which is unusual for a branded product
✓Zepbound vial and KwikPen at $299/mo undercut what many telehealth platforms charge for the same branded product
✓Every product carries an 'Important safety information' link directly beside it
✓A large, established, publicly listed company with real regulatory exposure, rather than an anonymous LLC
✓Ongoing care is included from day one alongside the medication

Cons

✗The advertised prices are medication only. A Hims Weight Loss Membership is required on top - $39 for the first month, then auto-renewing at $149/month - so the realistic all-in cost starts near $298/month and reaches about $448/month for Zepbound
✗The membership 'does not include or guarantee a prescription', and medication 'is not available without a membership'. You can pay $149 a month and be declined treatment
✗The $39 introductory membership auto-renews at nearly four times that rate
✗Mounjaro and Zepbound are listed at $1,899/month, far above the manufacturers' own direct-pay programmes
✗Trustpilot sits at 3.0 out of 5 across 8,862 reviews - the weakest independent score of any major provider we have reviewed here, despite the FDA-approved lineup
✗The '32 lbs' figure beside the Wegovy pill is asterisked to trial data for the branded drug, not to outcomes among Hims members
✗Ozempic and Mounjaro are FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, so prescribing them for weight loss is off-label and depends on your clinical picture
✗Because medication and membership are billed separately, the headline price understates what leaves your account each month
