Independent provider comparison
Updated September 27, 2026
A side-by-side look at total cost, medication format, care, commitment and the situations where each option makes more sense.
Embody’s GLP-1 website is joinem.co. GLP-1 Picks is an independent comparison site.
The short decision
We would start with Embody if your priority is a lower published one-month price for a clinician-approved compounded injection. Sprout Health is worth comparing if its care service fits you or you want to explore its brand-name options as well. Embody's one-month semaglutide catalogue plan is $79; Sprout's public semaglutide treatment card starts at $149/month. Before choosing Sprout, use its plan breakdown below to compare the commitment and prescribed product. Both offer online clinical review, and neither guarantees that you will qualify.
Both providers pay us a commission through our links. That relationship does not change the treatment facts or the price comparison. How we make money.
Our pick for the lower one-month injection entry
The public semaglutide catalogue plan bundles medication and clinical review at $79 for one month. Longer prepaid terms are also available.
The $69 monthly catalogue equivalent requires $828 paid for a year. Compounded medication needs clinical approval and is not FDA approved.

Choose Sprout to compare its wider treatment menu
Sprout lists compounded injections alongside brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound. It is worth a look if you want to discuss those options through one service or already value its care team.
Its public treatment cards start at $149/month for compounded semaglutide and $199 for compounded tirzepatide. Brand programs cost much more; confirm the exact quote and commitment.

Side by side
Compare the price unit as well as the number. A medication-only price, prepaid monthly equivalent and complete recurring program are not the same thing.
| Feature | Embody | Sprout Health |
|---|---|---|
| Why each one | Publishes a complete four-tier price ladder for both molecules, so the commitment behind every advertised rate is checkable rather than implied. | Assigned-clinician messaging and advertised dose-flat compounded pricing, with separate monthly and six-month semaglutide options. |
| Our Score | 7.3/10 | 5.8/10 |
| Headline Price | from $69/mo | from $110/mo |
| Medication Type | Compounded | Both |
| Insurance Accepted | No | No |
| Best For | People who want to compare Embody's published plan menu with its separate monthly promotion and will confirm the exact charge, term and refund rules before paying | Users who want a low compounded rate with the price locked as the dose rises, and who will judge service quality in month one |
| Watch out for | Payments are normally non-refundable. If Embody's provider determines medical disqualification, its refund policy allows a refund for unused services after deducting services already provided. Cancellation otherwise stops future renewal. The twelve-month semaglutide plan commits $828 up front; cancellation requests must reach support at least 72 hours before the next billing date. | The $110/mo headline requires a 6 month plan, month to month is $149/mo, and once a prescription reaches the pharmacy nothing is refundable, so the cheapest rate is also the one with the least room to change your mind |

Trade-offs
Sprout offers a choice of compounded and branded injection programs, with an online assessment and a licensed provider deciding whether treatment is appropriate. That range can be useful if you want to discuss alternatives within the same service. Its public site says plans renew automatically and that billing frequency and cancellation terms appear before checkout.
The homepage also carries a separate $249 compounded-program headline, while its treatment cards list $149 for semaglutide and $199 for tirzepatide. These are advertised examples, not a personal quote. Our Sprout review separates the available plan records so you can check the medicine, amount due and renewal before taking the next step.

For the same one-month shopping task, Embody publishes the lower semaglutide entry. Its catalogue also shows exactly how an annual upfront payment lowers the monthly equivalent. Start with one month if you want to limit your initial commitment, then compare longer terms only if they fit your needs.
Compounded medicines are not FDA approved. A clinician must decide whether an approved medicine can meet your needs and whether a compounded preparation is appropriate. Embody's payments are normally non-refundable, with a limited provider-determined medical-disqualification exception; that matters when choosing a prepaid term.
