Why each oneA bundled program rather than a prescribe and ship service. Unlimited provider visits, nutrition and mental health coaching and 1-on-1 dietitian support are included in the monthly price with no separate membership fee, and compounded and brand-name GLP-1s are sold side by side on the same page.
A dedicated-coordinator model with published outcome data, at what is now one of the lowest advertised flat rates in the compounded field, if the $110 landing price holds.

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
  • Compounded medication and virtual visits are cash-pay. Fridays offers insurance and prior-authorization support for brand-name medication, but coverage and your out-of-pocket cost depend on your plan.

Sprout Health

Pros

  • +Publishes an outcomes figure: some members self reported losing an average of 6.4% of body weight in their first 12 weeks (verified 2026-09-03)
  • +Each patient gets an assigned licensed clinician, with clinical messaging inside the account and a short check in before every refill
  • +The monthly price does not rise as the dose does, and provider review, free shipping and telehealth support are included at every tier
  • +Lists brand name Wegovy and Zepbound next to the compounded options, so switching brand does not mean switching platform

Cons

  • The $110/mo headline requires a 6 month plan, month to month is $149/mo, and once a prescription reaches the pharmacy nothing is refundable, so the cheapest rate is also the one with the least room to change your mind
  • No insurance accepted or billed, and no HSA, FSA or superbill information is shown on the site's product, FAQ, terms or refund pages (rendered check 2026-09-03)
