What Collective and TrimRx 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.

TrimRx

Four compounded products through one intake, injectable and oral, plus a shipping policy that grants a refund if nothing ships within 14 days. Neither resolves the price conflict between its offer page and its terms, nor the fulfillment complaint record.

  • GLP-1 · month-to-month price-lock plan$174/moMonth-to-month advertised monthly rate. Confirm the full payment, prescribed product and applicable price-lock/renewal conditions; generic package terms publish a different schedule.
  • GLP-1 + GIP · month-to-month price-lock plan$279/moMonth-to-month advertised monthly rate. Confirm the full payment, prescribed product and applicable price-lock/renewal conditions; generic package terms publish a different schedule.

What to watch for with Collective and TrimRx

Collective

Collective's strengths, cautions and terms

  • Medication is billed month to month rather than through a required multi-month medication prepayment
  • Two-day express cold shipping, clinician review, unlimited doctor messaging, and nutrition and lifestyle support are included
  • The public site links certificate 50716874 to LegitScript's verification checker
  • 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

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.

TrimRx

  • The selected price-lock offer and generic package terms publish different schedules. The $149 GLP-1 and $249 GLP-1 + GIP rates require the 12-month plan label; monthly plans show $174 and $279. Confirm the amount due today, plan length and written renewal terms before paying
  • Trustpilot shows 3.8/5 across 5,410 reviews, and 29% of reviewers gave one star (we checked on 2026-10-15); the BBB grades TrimRx F, lists it as not accredited, shows a pattern-of-complaints alert and counts 783 unanswered and 238 unresolved complaints (we read the profile on October 15, 2026)
TrimRx's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • One intake covers compounded GLP-1 and GLP-1 + GIP injections plus compounded oral versions of both
  • The selected price-lock offer lists monthly and 3-, 6- and 12-month plans: GLP-1 is $174 month-to-month or $149 a month on the 12-month plan; confirm the full payment
  • Online intake with clinician review; a short telehealth call can be arranged if further consultation is needed. The terms say compounded medication generally ships within 48 business hours of the prescription reaching the pharmacy
  • A published shipping policy that gives you the right to request a refund if your medication has not shipped within 14 days of the order, whatever the status of the medical review

More to watch for

  • The same paid-but-no-medication, billing, refund and fulfillment themes recur across BBB and Trustpilot, meeting our cross-platform delivery-complaints alert threshold
  • TrimRx lists brand Wegovy and Ozempic at $1,149 and brand Zepbound and Mounjaro at $1,249 as in stock, while the footer on those same pages says it does not sell, dispense or ship any branded medication and that you are responsible for filling the prescription at your own pharmacy and cost. Its compounded products are not FDA-approved finished products.
  • No insurance billing, so treat the monthly price as a pure cash-pay number. TrimRx does accept HSA and FSA cards among its payment methods
  • An offer page checked September 3 promised weight loss or your money back while also disclaiming guaranteed results. The refund policy is conditional: cancellation before pharmacy transmission allows any applicable policy refund, not a guaranteed treatment trial. Refund requests generally must be made within 28 days of payment
Medicines listed
  • Semaglutide (compounded, injectable)
  • Tirzepatide (compounded, injectable, listed by TrimRx as 'GLP-1 + GIP')
  • Oral GLP-1 (compounded, sold as the Oral GLP-1 weight loss package)
  • Oral tirzepatide (compounded, sold as the Oral Tirzepatide weight loss package)
  • Brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound and Mounjaro, listed as in stock on TrimRx's own product pages, although its footer says it does not sell, dispense or ship branded medication
Insurance
No insurance support listed
Consultation

Shipping
Free
States
TrimRx does not publish a served-state count or a state list. Its terms say products and services are available only within the 50 states of the United States and that no international orders are shipped (verified 2026-09-03).
Cancellation
Request cancellation through your TrimRx account or support. Before prescription transmission to the pharmacy, the order is cancelled and any applicable refund follows the policy. After transmission, that order continues to fulfillment; cancellation applies to future unfilled orders. A refund request is separate from cancellation and generally must be made within 28 days of payment, except where the policy or law provides otherwise. Medical disqualification and billing errors caused by TrimRx qualify for full refunds. For prepaid multi-month plans, request the unused portion attributable to future unfilled orders within that 28-day window; cancellation alone does not refund it. The shipping policy checked September 3 also allows a refund request if medication has not shipped within 14 days, regardless of medical-review status. Keep written confirmation of both cancellation and any refund request.

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.
