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

Novi

Pros

+Six disclosed clinicians on staff — Daniel Funsch MD, Michael Wasef MD, Takashi Nakamura MD plus three nurse practitioners (Hastings NP, Clements NP, Vergara DNP) — more named providers than most compounded-only platforms publish
+Month-to-month billing with no minimum commitment — cancel before any renewal date with no early-termination penalty
+Aggressive promotional pricing on the offer landing — $99-$133/mo compounded semaglutide and $149-$166/mo compounded tirzepatide with a $200 OFF intro discount
+Unlimited clinician check-ins, dose adjustments, and weight-loss coaching included at no additional cost
+Free 2-day shipping; same active ingredients as Wegovy/Ozempic and Mounjaro/Zepbound (semaglutide and tirzepatide respectively)
+100,000+ patients claimed and editorial coverage in Bloomberg, Forbes, and WebMD provide third-party signal

Cons

−Compounded-only — no FDA-approved Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, or Mounjaro through the platform; no Foundayo or oral GLP-1 formats
−Founding year, headquarters city, and corporate ownership are not publicly disclosed
−Promotional $99-$133 pricing applies to the introductory offer landing only — standard rate after any qualifying intro period is $174-$283/mo (verify the renewal rate before enrolling)
−Once medication is dispensed/shipped, prescriptions cannot be returned or refunded — typical for compounded telehealth but worth understanding
−Lab requirements before prescribing are not disclosed on public pages — unclear whether baseline bloodwork is required
−Multiple landing pages (offer-v4, offer-v6-low) show different headline prices, which can create pricing confusion before checkout

Our Verdict
