Key takeaways
The discount does real work on the front end: your first month of semaglutide effectively runs light, and treatment starts fast. The number to budget against, though, is the ongoing rate - so here's the year, priced honestly.

embody offers doctor-prescribed GLP-1 weight loss treatment - compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections - through a 100% online process. Getting started takes a roughly 5-minute health qualifier, after which a medical practitioner reviews your chart (embody says usually within 24 hours, often under 5). Pricing is flat and simple: $69/month for semaglutide and $119/month for tirzepatide, with no insurance required, no hidden fees, and no clinic visits. Medication ships in 1-2 days in temperature-controlled, tracked, insured packaging, and embody is LegitScript-certified and works with US-based 503A compounding pharmacies. On Trustpilot, embody averages 3.8 across 8,398 reviews - an honest, mixed-to-positive record whose recent reviews cluster around two themes: responsive, proactive customer service ('from my very first inquiry I've had excellent communication... customer service updated me every step,' writes one tirzepatide patient) and the no-surprises pricing ('Love the fact that there are no surprises as in costly up front cost'). A 3.7 also means a minority of customers had negative experiences - worth reading both ends of the reviews before deciding, as with any provider.

altRx bills itself as "the #1 most affordable GLP-1 program," and its published prices largely back that up: compounded GLP-1 (semaglutide) from $89/month and GLP-1 + GIP (tirzepatide) from $149/month - flat at every dose, so the price doesn't climb as you titrate up - alongside one of the few genuine brand-name shelves in this space (Ozempic $1,149, Zepbound $1,249, Wegovy $1,579 per month). It's a self-pay telehealth service: you complete a short assessment, a licensed provider (physician, PA, or nurse practitioner) reviews it, and if appropriate a prescription goes to a licensed US pharmacy, with free shipping in about 5-7 days. No insurance is required, Buy Now, Pay Later is available, and you can pause or cancel anytime. Two things to know before the details: shipping is slower than the 1-2 day providers (embody, DirectMeds), and Trustpilot does not currently display an aggregate score on altRx's profile - the individual reviews we quote on this page are real, but there's no independent average to lean on the way there is for rivals like Medvi (4.3 across 14,836) or embody (3.8 across 8,398). One of the real 4-star reviews we surface notes a refill 'yet to be fulfilled with zero reason as to why' - worth factoring in alongside the price advantage.

GLP-1 treatment is measured in months, so annual cost is the honest unit:
| Plan | Monthly | First year (with $200 off month one) |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide | $149 | $1,588 |
| Compounded tirzepatide | $199 | $2,188 |
| Brand-name Wegovy | from $1,799 | $21,388+ |
The Wegovy row isn't a typo - that's what a year of brand-name medication costs cash-pay, and it's why the compounded lane exists. If brand-name matters to you, note that altRx lists Wegovy at $1,579/month - $220/month less - alongside Ozempic and Zepbound.
Every provider's published plans - cheapest first, conditions under each price.
Against every provider's real listed semaglutide price: wellmedr $49 (12-month plan), embody $69 flat, altRx $89, Medvi $99 promo, HealthRx $99 prepaid, DirectMeds $147 - then Sprout and trimrx tied at $149, and SHED at $199 with coaching. Sprout prices tied-seventh of nine on the same molecule.
So what does the premium over the value tier buy? Two concrete things and one soft one: fulfillment within 2 days (only embody, DirectMeds and HealthRx match or beat that), the option to move to brand-name Wegovy without switching providers, and the personalized-plan onboarding its reviews praise. If none of those move you, the cheapest-GLP-1 index is the better shopping list.
Worth it: switchers timing a transition who can't absorb a shipping gap, anyone who wants the Wegovy door left open, and people who value fast, named-human support - "shout out to Frank" appears in more than one review for a reason.
Walk: if price per milligram is the whole decision. The same compounded semaglutide runs $49-$99 across the value tier, and over a year that difference funds a vacation.
→ The extreme version of that choice: Sprout vs wellmedr's $49, compared
