What Collective and SynergyRx plans cost

Collective

Very low month-to-month medication pricing that remains flat across doses, funded through a separately disclosed annual membership.

  • Collective Membership$199/yrRequired annual membership, free for the first 21 days and then $199 billed annually. It auto-renews unless cancelled.
  • Compounded Semaglutide$59$59 billed monthly for medication at any dose, plus required membership free for 21 days then $199/year. Twelve medication payments plus one membership: $907 before any technology transaction fee, which the terms do not price. Not a verified complete bill.
  • Compounded Tirzepatide$69$69 billed monthly for medication at any dose, plus required membership free for 21 days then $199/year. Twelve medication payments plus one membership: $1,027 before any technology transaction fee, which the terms do not price. Not a verified complete bill.
How Collective bills

$59/mo is compounded semaglutide medication only. Required membership is free for 21 days, then $199/year. Twelve medication payments plus one membership total $907 for semaglutide or $1,027 for tirzepatide at $69/mo, before any electronic-prescription technology fee the terms allow, which they do not price. These are medication-and-membership subtotals, not the complete bill.

We checked Collective's prices on October 17, 2026.

What to watch for with Collective and SynergyRx

Collective

  • The $59 and $69 medication headlines exclude a required $199 annual membership after a 21-day trial
  • The terms permit a nominal technology transaction fee for each electronic prescription but publish no amount
Collective's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Medication is billed month to month rather than through a required multi-month medication prepayment

  • The legal entity and MDIntegrations clinician-network relationship are disclosed in the legal pages

More to watch for

  • No dispensing pharmacy, individual clinician or medical director is publicly named
  • Unavailable in Alabama, California, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi and Washington, according to its FAQ checked October 17, 2026; ask about Washington, D.C. coverage
  • The annual membership auto-renews and is generally non-refundable, with no partial-period refunds
  • Its long-term GLP-1 service record is not yet confirmed; customer reviews alone do not establish treatment quality
  • Cash-pay compounded medications only; no brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound and no insurance or prior-authorization service
Medicines listed
  • Semaglutide (compounded injection)
  • Tirzepatide (compounded injection)
Insurance
Cash-pay. Collective says medication and membership are HSA/FSA eligible; eligibility and reimbursement depend on the account and expense.
Consultation
Clinical review and unlimited doctor messaging are included in the required $199/year membership. The terms also allow a technology transaction fee for an electronic prescription without publishing its amount.
Shipping
Included; two-day express cold shipping is advertised
Prescribers
Independent US-licensed providers; the privacy policy identifies MDIntegrations and its independent medical-group network as an example clinical partner

States
44 states: AK, AR, AZ, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, HI, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WI, WV, WY. Collective doesn't serve Alabama, California, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi or Washington, and you should ask about Washington, D.C. We built this list from the FAQ's six-state exclusion list, checked October 17, 2026; a clinician decides your eligibility at intake.
Cancellation
Cancel online before the 21-day trial ends to avoid the $199 annual charge. A paid membership continues through its current annual period and is generally non-refundable with no partial-period refund. Products and services are otherwise non-refundable except at CollectiveOS's discretion. If no prescription is issued, the medication order is cancelled and the medication is not charged.

SynergyRx

  • The terms publish a Casper, WY address. The October 8, 2026 source check did not confirm a Trustpilot profile on its exact domain; that does not establish that no profile or reviews exist.
  • Recorded brand-name starting prices are $499-947, with supply duration and billing interval unconfirmed. Compare the same medication, dose, eligibility and complete charge with the relevant manufacturer's program; a compounded tablet is not an FDA-approved brand equivalent.
SynergyRx's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Oral dissolving tablets for BOTH semaglutide AND tirzepatide, one of the few platforms with needle-free tirzepatide
  • Free expedited shipping included with all orders
  • Advertises 24/7 support with unlimited appointments and messaging
  • Both compounded and brand-name options available (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro)

More to watch for

  • Founding date and ownership are not shown on the site's contact, about, terms or FAQ pages (rendered check 2026-09-03); the terms disclose only a Delaware corporation. The terms also name Usable Health, PC as the medical group while the FAQ names Lion MD.
Medicines listed
  • Semaglutide (compounded, injectable and oral dissolving tablet)
  • Tirzepatide (compounded, injectable and oral dissolving tablet)
  • Ozempic (brand-name)
  • Wegovy (brand-name)
  • Mounjaro (brand-name)
Insurance
No insurance support listed
Consultation
Included in most plans according to the homepage FAQ, not confirmed for every offer. The terms allow charges to vary by medication and pharmacy; confirm the consultation fee and full total before paying.
Shipping
Free expedited
States
Availability depends on the patient's state, the service and clinician eligibility under the terms reviewed October 8, 2026; no all-state GLP-1 service list was verified. Confirm your state before paying.
Cancellation
All sales final. The terms say medical consult fees are not eligible for a refund and prescription products cannot be returned, and no cancellation or auto-renewal clause appears in them, yet the about page still shows a Money Back Guarantee badge with no terms attached.

Compounded medicines are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are sold. Read the FDA's explanation of the risks.
