Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Both price ladders are published in full and the arithmetic is correct at every tier. Semaglutide runs $249 for one month, $217/mo over three ($650), $175/mo over six ($1,050) and $158/mo over twelve ($1,900), checked July 27, 2026
✓Tirzepatide is laid out the same way: $297 monthly, $267/mo over three ($800), $217/mo over six ($1,299) and $167/mo over twelve ($1,999)
✓Every advertised saving checks out - the 13%, 30%, 37%, 10%, 27% and 44% figures all match the underlying numbers
✓One price across all doses, from 0.25mg to 2.4mg semaglutide and 2.5mg to 15mg tirzepatide, so titrating up never costs more
✓Possible side effects are listed openly on the product page - nausea, injection site reactions, decreased appetite and gastrointestinal discomfort - with a note that most are mild and temporary
✓Both injectable and oral formats are offered at the same published prices
✓Medication, provider review, personalised dosing and ongoing support are all included in the price, with free shipping and cancel-anytime terms

Cons

✗We could not find an explicit statement that the compounded medications are not FDA-approved. The site explains what compounding is but omits the disclosure nearly every competitor makes
✗Trustpilot has exactly one review of this domain, so there is effectively no independent evidence about the service against a claim of 2,400+ patients
✗Tirzepatide is billed as the 'Most powerful GLP-1 medication available' - a superiority claim made about a compounded preparation that has not been trialled against anything
✗The 'up to 15% of their body weight in a year' figure is presented as what TMates has seen in its own patients, with no published data behind it
✗The lowest advertised rates require paying for a full year upfront - $1,900 for semaglutide or $1,999 for tirzepatide
✗The site is behind bot protection and will not load without JavaScript, so pricing is invisible to anyone browsing with scripts disabled
✗No published customer phone number, support email or support hours
✗No BBB profile or complaint record to check

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
