Embody

#17 of 36
7.3/10

Online weight-loss program that ships compounded GLP-1 medication to your door. Modern Metabolic Medicine, Inc. runs the storefront and OpenLoop Health supplies the clinical network on the current site.

Wellorithm

#13 of 36
7.4/10

Telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in BOTH injectable and oral dissolving tablet formats, alongside brand-name Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound and Mounjaro on their own product pages, plus NAD+ and Sermorelin on the same pricing grid (verified 2026-09-03). A 10% weight-loss guarantee refunds up to four months of program fees if the patient does not lose at least 10% of baseline weight after 16 weeks of medication adherence (terms apply). 28-day recurring billing, non-refundable per-cycle.

Why each onePublishes a complete four-tier price ladder for both molecules, so the commitment behind every advertised rate is checkable rather than implied.
The combination of compounded GLP-1 in BOTH injectable and oral dissolving tablet formats AND a 10% weight-loss money-back guarantee, a format breadth and outcome-tied refund policy that few compounded-only platforms offer in combination, paired with the trade-off that no founder or legal entity is named on the site.

Watch out forPayments 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.
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 program page and every medication page do name three partner physicians, and the contact page gives a Miami street address and phone, so the gap is corporate rather than clinical

Pros & Cons Compared

Embody

Pros

  • +Publishes a complete price ladder for both molecules, so what each advertised rate costs up front is checkable: semaglutide $79/$76/$73/$69 and tirzepatide $129/$126/$123/$119 across one, three, six and twelve months.
  • +One-month injection prices of $79 for semaglutide and $129 for GLP-1 + GIP were visible in Embody's catalogue on September 20, 2026. The FAQ says the selected rate holds within the chosen plan.
  • +Four plan lengths are disclosed (4, 12, 24 and 52 weeks), giving shoppers a shorter-term option as well as longer-plan pricing.
  • +Publishes its cancellation and refund terms in full, dated August 25, 2026, so the 72-hour cancellation cutoff and limited medical-disqualification refund exception are readable before you pay.
  • +Replies to every negative Trustpilot review, usually within 24 hours.

Cons

  • 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 public catalogue shows $69/$119 as twelve-month equivalents paid up front at $828/$1,428, but Embody's separate promotional landing advertises $69/$119 flat monthly and describes a no-contract month-to-month option. We could not verify the final promotional checkout charge or term; compare it with the $79/$129 one-month catalogue plans before paying.
  • Trustpilot showed 3.8 / 5 across 8,121 reviews on 2026-09-20, while the landing page advertised 4.8 on our prior check. The Trustpilot profile includes merged reviews from another profile, and individual reports cover different pricing periods. It is not a measure of clinical quality.
  • Embody names four partner pharmacies: Red Rock Compounding Pharmacy in Utah, Health Warehouse in Kentucky, Precision Medicine in New York and Triad Rx in Alabama, and says all four are 503A compounding pharmacies. It does not say which one will fill your prescription. Triad Rx received a 2019 FDA warning letter for sterile-production violations, and the FDA close-out in May 2023 records that the firm no longer produces sterile drug products.
  • Compounded medications only, no brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro, or Ozempic available.
  • Modern Metabolic Medicine, Inc. also runs SnagRx (snagrx.com) and RodeoMeds (rodeomeds.com). Each footer names the shared parent, but none of the three names the others, and SnagRx sells the same compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide at the same $69 and $119 prices Embody's own landing page shows.

Wellorithm

Pros

  • +Compounded GLP-1 available in BOTH injectable AND oral dissolving tablet formats, semaglutide and tirzepatide each in two formats, broader format menu than most compounded-only platforms
  • +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)
  • +Competitive entry pricing, $147/mo compounded semaglutide and $249/mo compounded tirzepatide put Wellorithm near the cheaper end of the compounded market
  • +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)
  • +Spring promotion advertised at $147 with free shipping included

Cons

  • 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 program page and every medication page do name three partner physicians, and the contact page gives a Miami street address and phone, so the gap is corporate rather than clinical
  • 49 states only, service is unavailable in Louisiana and outside the United States
  • 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
  • Brand-name prices carry conditions the headline figures do not show: the Ozempic and Zepbound pages advertise $1,119 a month at the top and $1,199 a month in the pricing card, and all four brand pages footnote that the figure applies to a 500mg three-month plan paid upfront or through a buy now, pay later program (verified 2026-09-03). Budget for the prepaid plan, not the monthly number

Our Verdict

Wellorithm edges out Embody with a score of 7.4/10 vs 7.3/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Embody is from $69/mo; Wellorithm is from $147/mo. Wellorithm offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.
