What to watch for with Fridays and Wellorithm

Fridays

  • 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.
Fridays' strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Advertised annual-plan equivalents: semaglutide from $99/mo with FOREVER12; tirzepatide from $198/mo with FOREVER500. Confirm the prepaid invoice and eligibility
  • Bookable 1-on-1 dietitian calls and chat, plus group coaching; appointment frequency depends on the service
  • 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
  • Signature medication plans include provider visits and coaching. Wegovy pill and pen offers charge membership separately from medication
Medicines listed
  • Semaglutide (compounded)
  • Tirzepatide (compounded)
  • Wegovy
  • Zepbound
  • Ozempic
  • Oral semaglutide (compounded microdose)
Insurance
Visits and compounded medication are cash-pay. Brand-name medication may be covered by your insurance; Fridays offers prior-authorization help. Coverage depends on your plan.
Consultation
Included
Shipping
Not confirmed; ask whether shipping is included in your selected plan
States
Katalys lists Louisiana as a restricted state for the Fridays partner program (verified 2026-09-08). Fridays does not publish a complete clinical service-area list; availability varies by service and must be confirmed during intake
Cancellation
Request cancellation at least 72 hours before the next billing date. Unused prepaid periods are generally non-refundable, subject to limited exceptions; dispensed medication is not normally refundable. Missed appointments or cancellations under 24 hours may incur a separate fee (terms checked October 8, 2026)

Wellorithm

  • The October 30 terms name Wellorithm Inc. and give a Miami legal notice address. That disclosure does not independently verify incorporation, ownership, founders or a medical director. The October 8, 2026 review did not verify which named clinician oversees this GLP-1 program or their program-specific role
  • October 22 pricing records $247 semaglutide or $349 tirzepatide renewals. Current published terms specify calendar-month injection billing; confirm your selected order's current charge, taxes and next payment date
Wellorithm's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • One price at every dose: the pricing page states the medication price is the same across the semaglutide range of 0.25 to 2.4 mg and the tirzepatide range of 2.5 to 15 mg (checked October 16, 2026)
  • Conditional weight-loss refund guarantee: if expressly included in the accepted offer, eligible new customers losing less than 10% of baseline weight after 16 weeks of adherence may request up to four months of fees actually paid; verification and other conditions apply
  • The pricing page shows your first payment and your renewal side by side: $147 then $247 per renewal for semaglutide, $249 then $349 for tirzepatide, with the consultation and shipping included
  • Short online eligibility quiz, virtual consultation, 24/7 support availability claimed
  • 23,000+ reviews and 4.9-star rating reported (volume is unusually high for this market segment, verify on independent third-party sources before relying on it)
  • Free, discreet shipping is included in the advertised injection plan

More to watch for

  • Request compounded GLP-1 renewal cancellation at least 48 hours before the disclosed charge through your account or by email, and keep the effective-date confirmation. Later legal rights and stoppable orders still apply; cancellation alone does not create a current-term or prorated refund
  • The guarantee must be expressly included in your accepted offer. Its conditions include new-customer eligibility, treatment adherence and no other weight-loss medication in the preceding year as disclosed in the offer. Weight verification is required; approved refunds cover up to four months of fees actually paid and are processed within 30 days after verification
  • The historical Ozempic and Zepbound pages showed $1,119 in the hero and $1,199 in a pricing card, alongside an internally inconsistent plan footnote. Neither that footnote nor the conflicting prices establishes a valid dose or total bill. Obtain the exact medication, dose, term and upfront charge before paying
Medicines listed

  • Tirzepatide injection (compounded)

States
All 50 states plus DC; no service outside the United States. The pricing page, FAQ, program page and Terms all say 50 states plus DC (checked 2026-10-16)
Cancellation
The October 30 terms, checked November 4, 2026, allow renewal cancellation through your account or contact@wellorithm.com, with confirmation of the effective date. Request compounded GLP-1 cancellation at least 48 hours before the disclosed renewal charge; later legal rights and any charge or unfulfilled order that can still be stopped remain protected. If no prescription follows the initial evaluation, the medication amount is not charged or is refunded; only a separately itemized and disclosed before payment, earned for a completed evaluation and lawfully chargeable consultation fee may be retained. You may request order cancellation before dispensing or irreversible fulfillment. Cancellation does not itself refund a properly charged current term or create a prorated refund; eligibility, guarantee, billing-error and legal remedies remain. Specific accepted order terms control commercial conflicts. The weight-loss guarantee applies only if expressly included in your accepted offer and all eligibility conditions are met

Compounded medicines are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are sold. Read the FDA's explanation of the risks.
