Pros & Cons Compared

FeelGood

Pros

+Compounded semaglutide injection from $149/mo with free shipping and no separate membership or consultation fee
+Offers an oral compounded semaglutide tablet ($249/mo) for needle-averse patients, a non-injectable route only a handful of platforms provide
+LegitScript-approved, independent certification that the telehealth/pharmacy operation meets legal and safety standards, which many budget compounded shops lack
+Money-back weight-loss guarantee plus unlimited 24/7 messaging and appointments included

Cons

−Does NOT publicly disclose which US states it serves, you can't confirm availability in your state before starting an intake
−$149 is a 'starting' price (dose-escalating), not flat across all doses, your cost can rise as your dose titrates up, and FeelGood doesn't publish the full dose-by-dose schedule
−Brand-name 'original' semaglutide injection at $1,999/mo is far above NovoCare's Wegovy pen $199/mo for the first two 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg fills through December 31, 2026, then $349/mo at standard strengths or $399/mo for Wegovy HD; oral pill from $149/mo, dose-dependent, and Hims/Hers pill medication from $149 or pen from $199 plus required membership. Never buy brand-name through FeelGood
−No named medical director, prescribing physicians, compounding pharmacy, founding year, or headquarters disclosed on the site, thin corporate and clinical transparency
−Self-reported '4.8/5' rating is not tied to a named third-party platform (no linked Trustpilot/BBB), so it can't be independently verified; the advertised '15-20% weight loss' figures are FeelGood's marketing, not FDA-reviewed efficacy data
−Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved (none are), and FeelGood offers compounded semaglutide only, no tirzepatide

Fridays

Pros

+One of the few platforms that bills insurance directly, can reduce out-of-pocket to $25-50/mo with coverage
+Includes 1-on-1 nutrition coaching and weekly check-ins, not just medication prescriptions
+Offers brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound and compounded options, switches based on insurance formulary
+Flexible plans: medication-only ($249/mo) or full coaching program ($299/mo)

Cons

−The coaching-heavy model adds complexity, three different plan tiers with different inclusions
−Without insurance, $249/mo for medication-only is above average for what you get clinically

Our Verdict

Fridays edges out FeelGood with a score of 8.7/10 vs 7/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: FeelGood is from $149/mo; Fridays is from $117/mo. Fridays accepts insurance, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
