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 market — NovoCare direct Wegovy is $349/mo and Hers offers Wegovy at $149/mo via the 2026 Novo Nordisk partnership. 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. If budget is your priority, FeelGood starts at $149/mo compared to Fridays's $249/mo. Fridays accepts insurance, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Choose FeelGood if you want: budget-conscious cash-pay patients who want low-cost compounded semaglutide — injection or oral tablet — with free shipping, no membership fees, and a money-back weight-loss guarantee. Choose Fridays if you want: users who want a holistic program with coaching, nutrition support, and flexible pricing.
