Pros & Cons Compared

Direct Meds GLP-1

Pros

  • +The published $297/mo compounded semaglutide injection tier includes medication, consultations, shipping, and pharmacy fees
  • +Format-specific prices are published on the site, which makes the advertised medication and service bundle easier to compare
  • +Fast pharmacy fulfillment: most orders ship within 48 hours of provider approval
  • +Responsive customer support with live chat available during business hours

Cons

  • Compounded medications only, no brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, or Ozempic on the menu
  • The $297/mo injectable semaglutide rate sits above Henry Meds ($199) and TrimRx (starting at $179); Direct Meds' own sublingual semaglutide drops at $179 are the budget path if the premium stings
  • BBB shows 248 complaints and roughly 1.1/5 customer-review stars, with recurring reports of unauthorized charges, cancellation difficulty, billing confusion, and unfulfilled or delayed orders

FeelGood

Pros

  • +Compounded semaglutide injection from $149/mo with free shipping and no separate membership or consultation fee
  • +Offers an oral compounded semaglutide tablet ($249/mo) for needle-averse patients, a non-injectable route only a handful of platforms provide
  • +LegitScript-approved, independent certification that the telehealth/pharmacy operation meets legal and safety standards, which many budget compounded shops lack
  • +Money-back weight-loss guarantee plus unlimited 24/7 messaging and appointments included

Cons

  • Does NOT publicly disclose which US states it serves, you can't confirm availability in your state before starting an intake
  • $149 is a 'starting' price (dose-escalating), not flat across all doses, your cost can rise as your dose titrates up, and FeelGood doesn't publish the full dose-by-dose schedule
  • Brand-name 'original' semaglutide injection at $1,999/mo is far above NovoCare's Wegovy pen $199/mo for the first two 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg fills through December 31, 2026, then $349/mo at standard strengths or $399/mo for Wegovy HD; oral pill from $149/mo, dose-dependent, and Hims/Hers pill medication from $149 or pen from $199 plus required membership. Never buy brand-name through FeelGood
  • No named medical director, prescribing physicians, compounding pharmacy, founding year, or headquarters disclosed on the site, thin corporate and clinical transparency
  • Self-reported '4.8/5' rating is not tied to a named third-party platform (no linked Trustpilot/BBB), so it can't be independently verified; the advertised '15-20% weight loss' figures are FeelGood's marketing, not FDA-reviewed efficacy data
  • Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved (none are), and FeelGood offers compounded semaglutide only, no tirzepatide

Our Verdict

Direct Meds GLP-1 edges out FeelGood with a score of 7.9/10 vs 7/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Direct Meds GLP-1 is from $297/mo; FeelGood is from $149/mo. FeelGood offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.

It scores 6.9/10 and is not the highest-scored provider in our full rankings, so this is a cost floor rather than a recommendation. Worth knowing before you decide.
