Compare the price unit as well as the number. A medication-only price, prepaid monthly equivalent and complete recurring program are not the same thing.

Trade-offs

Strengths and cautions 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
1 more documented strengths
  • +Signature medication plans include provider visits and coaching. Wegovy pill and pen offers charge membership separately from medication

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.

SynergyRx

Pros

  • +Oral dissolving tablets for BOTH semaglutide AND tirzepatide, one of the few platforms with needle-free tirzepatide
  • +Free expedited shipping included with all orders
  • +24/7 support with unlimited messaging, no per-visit fees for follow-up questions or dose adjustments
1 more documented strengths
  • +Both compounded and brand-name options available (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro)

Cons

  • −The Casper, WY address in its terms is a suite mailbox rather than a clinic, and the brand has no Trustpilot profile, so there is little independent feedback to weigh against its own testimonials.
  • −Brand-name pricing ($499-947/mo) is very high compared to direct manufacturer programs like LillyDirect. Use SynergyRx for its compounded oral tablets; source brand-name directly if that's what you need.
  • −Founding date and ownership are not shown on the site's contact, about, terms or FAQ pages (rendered check 2026-09-03); the terms disclose only a Delaware corporation. The terms also name Usable Health, PC as the medical group while the FAQ names Lion MD.

Our Verdict
