Pros & Cons Compared

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

PeterMD

Pros

+Flat $165/mo at all dose levels, price doesn't increase as you titrate up to maintenance doses
+100,000+ patient base with 4.9/5 Trustpilot rating from 14,000+ reviews, strong social proof
+Semaglutide + B12 formulation helps reduce nausea, the most common GLP-1 side effect
+Video consultations with physicians included, real face-to-face medical oversight

Cons

−Available in 42 states, not all 50 (8 states are excluded). Check your state during signup before planning around PeterMD.
−Not BBB accredited, and some documented complaints cite delayed medication fulfillment. Order refills ahead of your last dose rather than at the last minute.
−PeterMD began as a testosterone replacement therapy platform; GLP-1 is an expansion, not the original core. The included video consultations give you a direct read on the clinical team.
