Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

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

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Flat pricing across doses is promised in the banner: "SAME PRICE EVERY MONTH"
✓Promotional rates published up front - GLP-1 from $89/month and GLP-1 + GIP from $149/month
✓24/7 support advertised, and no insurance required

Cons

✗The FDA has formally told altRx that its labelling and its "clinically proven" claims 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 headline rates are a dated summer promotion ("OFFER ENDS AUGUST 5TH AT MIDNIGHT") against a standing price of $199/month, so the advertised figure is not the ongoing one
✗No phone number, refund policy or pharmacy named on the site
