Pros & Cons Compared

Fridays

Pros

  • +Compounded semaglutide runs as low as $117 a month on the annual plan with the NYNY12 code printed on its pricing page, against $279 month to month
  • +Includes 1-on-1 nutrition coaching and weekly check-ins, not just medication prescriptions
  • +Sells brand-name Ozempic, Zepbound and Wegovy alongside compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, with an insurance concierge that helps you pursue coverage for the brand-name option through your own plan
  • +Membership costs nothing on top of the medication price: unlimited provider visits, nutrition and mental health coaching and 1-on-1 dietitian support are listed on every plan

Cons

  • The lowest advertised compounded prices require an annual commitment and a promo code
  • Cash-pay only, so no part of the cost runs through insurance. The $117 headline needs a prepaid annual plan and the NYNY12 code, month to month is $279 for compounded semaglutide, and brand-name Ozempic and Zepbound are listed at $1,498 and $1,828 a month

Cons

  • Select state availability, not available nationwide, and coverage varies by specific treatment program
  • A membership is required before you can buy any medication, and every product page prices the drug separately as a monthly cost plus membership
