What to watch for with Direct Meds GLP-1 and Wellorithm

Direct Meds GLP-1

  • 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
Direct Meds GLP-1's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • 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
  • Its executive team identifies Dr. Justin Hohl as chief medical officer
  • Ongoing nursing access and digital follow-ups are described in the program bundle

More to watch for

  • The marketing page says no subscriptions, but the terms cover automatic 30-day renewals for subscription products. Confirm which terms apply and the 48-hour cancellation cutoff

  • Semaglutide (sublingual drops, $249/mo)

Cancellation
For subscription products, turn off auto-refill at least 48 hours before the next processing date; terms specify 30-day billing with 5-7 days' advance notice. An order cancellation can be attempted within 24 hours only if the provider network has not received it. Received medication is non-refundable. Limited return exceptions apply, with a $35 disposal fee; report issues within 48 hours of receipt.

Wellorithm

  • Founding year, corporate ownership and the legal entity behind the program are not published on wellorithm.com; the Terms describe it only as 'a Miami-based company' that connects patients with unnamed 'Professional Entities' (verified 2026-09-03). The site names clinicians and a Miami contact address, but the October 8, 2026 review did not verify which named clinician oversees this GLP-1 program or their program-specific role
  • After the first month you pay $247 every 28 days for semaglutide or $349 for tirzepatide, 13 charges a year, so the $147 and $249 first payments are not the ongoing price
Wellorithm's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • One price at every dose: the pricing page states the medication price is the same across the semaglutide range of 0.25 to 2.4 mg and the tirzepatide range of 2.5 to 15 mg (checked October 16, 2026)
  • 10% weight-loss money-back guarantee: patients who don't lose at least 10% of baseline weight after 16 weeks of medication adherence may be eligible for refund of up to four months of program fees (verified weight documentation required)
  • The pricing page shows your first payment and your renewal side by side: $147 then $247 every 28 days for semaglutide, $249 then $349 for tirzepatide, with the consultation and shipping included
  • Short online eligibility quiz, virtual consultation, 24/7 support availability claimed
  • 23,000+ reviews and 4.9-star rating reported (volume is unusually high for this market segment, verify on independent third-party sources before relying on it)
  • Free, discreet shipping is included in every 28-day payment

More to watch for

  • Billing runs on a 28-day recurring cycle and payments are non-refundable once processed, with no proration for partial months; cancel before your next cycle processes to avoid paying for an unused month
  • The weight-loss guarantee has strict eligibility terms: verified weight documentation (doctor attestation or video evidence), prior medication history disclosure, consistent dosing adherence, and refund processed within 30 days of approval, with only fees actually paid refundable and baseline payments non-refundable; document your starting weight from day one if you plan to rely on it
  • The historical Ozempic and Zepbound pages showed $1,119 in the hero and $1,199 in a pricing card, alongside an internally inconsistent plan footnote. Neither that footnote nor the conflicting prices establishes a valid dose or total bill. Obtain the exact medication, dose, term and upfront charge before paying
