Pros

  • The largest verifiable review base of any provider in this batch: the Trustpilot profile for refills.com showed a 4-star TrustScore from roughly 1,244 reviews when we checked
  • No membership or app fees, stated as a headline promise: "Never Pay for Monthly Memberships or App Fees"
  • All dosages cost the same - "We don't charge you based on dosage changes" - which removes the titration price trap that catches most compounded GLP-1 patients
  • Both a GLP-1 (semaglutide-class) and a GIP + GLP-1 (tirzepatide-class) injectable are offered
  • A published phone number, 888-458-5061, and support@refills.com, with 24/7 health-concierge support advertised
  • Free and discreet shipping on every order
  • Unusually candid disclaimers: it states plainly that compounded drug products are not approved or evaluated by the FDA, and that Refills Health is not a medical services provider but a technology platform
  • It names its clinical partners - Beluga Health, Bask Health and Wasef Health - rather than referring vaguely to "our providers"
  • Certificates of Analysis are available on request for any batch
  • LegitScript certification is displayed

Cons

  • Pricing is quoted per day, not per month. "GLP-1s from $5/day" reads as cheap but is $150 a month, and the site never states a monthly figure
  • Refills is a technology platform, not a medical provider. It does not manufacture or dispense medication and does not employ the clinicians who prescribe
  • All prescription sales are final. State and federal rules do not allow returns of dispensed prescription medication, and once your card is charged and the package is handed to the carrier there is no refund
  • Returns are only accepted on unopened, non-prescription items within 30 days, and you pay the return shipping
  • It does not ship refrigerated products, which the returns page presents as a benefit ("your product will not be affected by increased transit time") but which is worth understanding before you order
  • The medication is compounded, so it has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, quality or efficacy
  • Available across the US but explicitly not in the District of Columbia
  • Before/after testimonials headline losses of 40 to 120 pounds. The disclaimer that results are not typical is present but far less prominent than the numbers

Medications

Pros

  • Among the lowest advertised prices in the category: compounded semaglutide from $88/month and tirzepatide from $157/month (checked July 26, 2026)
  • A flat-price promise - 'Same price forever. No price increases ever' - with no separate membership fee stacked on top
  • The monthly rate is stated to include the prescription, unlimited telehealth visits and free 1-2 day shipping
  • Injection and oral formats both offered
  • If a provider medically disqualifies you, Sunlight refunds unused months and the video visit fee
  • Cancel anytime, with no minimum term advertised
  • Accepts HSA/FSA as well as major cards
  • Will match an equivalent dose if you are transferring from another provider, via prescription upload and a clinician appointment

Cons

  • Sunlight describes its compounded products as 'clinically proven to support weight loss'. Compounded drugs have not been through the trials that phrase implies, and the FDA has issued warning letters to other telehealth firms over claims of this type
  • The '(4.9) Excellent!' badge has no source. Trustpilot, the only public platform we found, showed 4.3 from 183 reviews - not the 100,000+ customer base implied elsewhere on the page
  • The scarcity banner is broken: it reads 'Only Spots Left!' with no number, which suggests the counter is decorative rather than real
  • 'Starting at $88' has no published terms - the page never says whether that rate needs a 3, 6 or 12-month commitment, or what a month-to-month plan costs
  • The page carries a '$140 Off Today' urgency banner alongside the claim of no price increases ever
  • Testimonial copy follows the same template as several other compounded GLP-1 funnels, down to the phrasing 'When change felt impossible, Sunlight helped'
  • 'We've been featured in' appears with no named publications or links in the page text
  • No BBB record and no published phone number, so there is little independent history to check
