Short answer: Direct Meds GLP-1 scores higher on our rubric, 7.9/10 against 4.2/10. Full reasoning, pricing and the cases where the other one wins are below.

Direct Meds GLP-1 beats Trimi Health overall, scoring 7.9/10 vs 4.2/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Direct Meds GLP-1 is from $297/mo; Trimi Health is $175/mo month-to-month. Choose Direct Meds GLP-1 for users who value published format-specific pricing and can independently monitor billing and cancellation. Choose Trimi Health for cash-pay patients who want the cheapest flat-price compounded semaglutide we track ($99/mo on the annual plan) and will accept a trustpilot rating the platform has withheld for a guidelines breach, plus no-pro-rating cancellation terms, in exchange.

Trimi Health

#32 of 34
4.2/10

Telehealth platform for compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide. Weekly injections in vial-and-syringe format only, no pens, no oral option. Pricing is flat across all doses, with the consult and overnight shipping included, and both price ladders are published on the treatment pages with no intake required. Prescriptions route through the Arora Health medical group, whose named leads are Dr. Sean Arora MD (medical director) and Dr. Shannon Arora MD (chief medical officer), and are filled by VialsRx and GreenwichRx, which the site describes as state-licensed 503A sterile compounding pharmacies. The site says it was founded in May 2024 and is headquartered in New York City, and publishes no street address and no legal entity name.

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
  • Injectable compounded semaglutide is $297 a month and the sublingual drops are $249 a month on the product page, so the cheaper in-house format saves $48, and both sit above the lowest cash-pay entry prices in this comparison
  • 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

Trimi Health

Pros

  • +$99/mo compounded semaglutide on the annual plan (billed $1,188 once yearly) is among the cheapest flat recurring rates we track; tirzepatide annual is $125/mo ($1,500 yearly)
  • +Flat pricing across all doses, your monthly price does not rise as your dose titrates up
  • +Consult and overnight shipping included in the plan price, no add-on fees; HSA/FSA accepted, Klarna and Affirm financing available
  • +Two named physicians, Dr. Sean Arora MD (medical director) and Dr. Shannon Arora MD (chief medical officer) of the Arora Health medical group, most compounded-only platforms name no one
  • +Compounding pharmacies named and classed: VialsRx (Texas license #35264) and GreenwichRx, both described on the site as state-licensed 503A sterile compounding pharmacies, most competitors do not name theirs
  • +Available in all 50 states plus DC per trytrimi.com/states
  • +6-month money-back weight-loss promise published (conditions apply, read them before counting on it)

Cons

  • Trustpilot has withheld Trimi's star rating for a breach of its review guidelines and says it removed a number of fake reviews. Of the 62 reviews still shown there, 53 percent are one star, with recent ones citing ineffective medication and unanswered requests for a certificate of analysis (checked 2026-09-03)
  • Once a prescription is signed, payments are final, no pro-rating, cancelling an annual plan mid-year forfeits the remainder. Full refund is available only BEFORE the prescription is signed
  • The site names New York City as its base but publishes no street address and no legal entity name, calling itself only 'Trimi Health' with no LLC or Inc suffix on its contact, about, terms or FAQ pages (rendered check 2026-09-03)
  • Vial-and-syringe format only, no autoinjector pens, no oral option, no brand-name medications
  • Trimi says it is LegitScript certified on its treatment pages and links to LegitScript's own checker, but that checker page shows no certification record for trytrimi.com (checked 2026-09-03)
  • The terms carry a mandatory arbitration clause and a class action waiver, with a written opt-out available within 30 days of first accepting them
  • The site contradicts itself on commitment: the treatment page FAQ says you can cancel any time with no long-term commitments, while the pricing page and refund policy say the quarterly, 6-month and annual tiers are commitments for their stated term and payments are final once a prescription is issued (checked 2026-09-03)
  • Free overnight shipping only starts counting after clinician review and after the pharmacy compounds the order, so Trimi's own reviews page puts the honest end to end wait at a few days rather than one night (verified 2026-09-03)

Our Verdict

Eden Health GLP-1
