Independent provider comparison
Updated October 8, 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 and renewal options fit you. Embody's one-month semaglutide catalogue plan is $79; Sprout's shortest semaglutide plan is $149 every 4 weeks. Those are different billing periods. 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.
Compare Sprout's compounded plans and care setup
Sprout includes medication, provider review and shipping in its compounded injection plans. It is worth comparing if you already value its care team and want to understand the renewal choices.
Its shortest compounded plans are $149 for semaglutide and $199 for tirzepatide, each billed every 4 weeks. Lower annual equivalents require $1,188 or $1,788 upfront. Current branded-plan availability is not confirmed.

Why each oneEmbodyThe reviewed injection catalogue publishes four plan lengths and their prices for both molecules. Separate promotions and the published terms do not consistently describe the same offer, so confirm the applicable commitment and renewal before paying.

Best ForEmbodyPeople 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 Sprout HealthUsers 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 forEmbodyPayments 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. Sprout HealthThe $99/mo semaglutide rate requires $1,188 upfront for 12 months; the shorter $149 plan bills every 4 weeks, not once per calendar month | ||

Sprout's current public offer lists compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections, with an online assessment and a licensed provider deciding whether treatment is appropriate. Current brand-name availability is not confirmed. Its public site says plans renew automatically and that billing frequency and cancellation terms appear before checkout.
Sprout's current compounded offer lists semaglutide at a $99 monthly equivalent with $1,188 billed every 12 months, or $149 every 4 weeks on the shortest plan. Tirzepatide is $149 per month equivalent with $1,788 billed annually, or $199 every 4 weeks. The upfront amount and billing period are part of the comparison, not optional fine print. The offer includes provider review, medication and shipping, subject to clinical approval.

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.
