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

TMates

Pros

+Clinical-service-only path to brand Wegovy and Zepbound at $99/mo, prescription goes to patient's pharmacy (you fill separately using insurance or cash)
+Steep multi-month commitment discounts on compounded sema, $158/mo on 12-month plan ($1,900 upfront) vs $249/mo month-to-month
+Same price at all dose levels for compounded, no cost escalation as you titrate up
+Phentermine available at $149/mo for patients who benefit from a different appetite-suppressant approach

Cons

−The $99/mo Wegovy/Zepbound tier is the clinical service only. Medication is billed separately at your pharmacy (can be $1,000+/mo cash without insurance). Choose this tier when your insurance covers the drug itself.
−The best compounded rates require prepayment: $1,050 upfront for 6 months, $1,900 for 12. Start at $249 month-to-month if you want to test fit first.
−The intake is a 90-second quiz. Fast, but lighter screening than competitors with full medical intakes. Better suited to patients who already know GLP-1 basics.
−TMates prescribes brand-name but does not dispense it, and is not affiliated with Novo Nordisk (Wegovy) or Eli Lilly (Zepbound). Your own pharmacy fills the Rx.

Our Verdict

TMates edges out FeelGood with a score of 7.8/10 vs 7/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: FeelGood is from $149/mo; TMates is from $158/mo. TMates accepts insurance, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
