Premium membership, the tier the GLP-1 pages sit on. Medication is billed separately. Hone now runs three memberships, Basic at $25/mo, Plus at $135/mo for men's TRT, and Premium at $155/mo, verified 2026-09-03
Published plans and prices
Initial Consult + Labs: $65. One-time $65 on the Premium path, covering the 50+ biomarker panel and the physician consult, struck from $165 on the liraglutide page, verified 2026-09-03
Basic Membership: $25. $25/month plus cost of medication on the homepage, with a one-time $25 onboarding fee, so the first month is $50. Consults are not included and cost $75 for men or $100 for women. The liraglutide page is tagged Premium Tier, so Basic does not reach the GLP-1s. Verified 2026-09-03
Premium Membership: $155. $155/month plus cost of medication on the homepage, verified 2026-09-03: 50+ biomarker testing, included physician consults, retesting and follow-ups every 90 days. Hone's copy says 95% of patients choose it, and it is the tier the GLP-1 pages sit on
Liraglutide Medication: $160. From $160/mo plus membership on its liraglutide page, verified 2026-09-03. That page is tagged Premium Tier, so the running total is $155 plus $160, about $315/mo after the $65 intake
Plus Membership: $135. $135/month on the membership comparison page, verified 2026-09-03. Men's TRT tier with an 8 to 11 biomarker panel, not a GLP-1 tier. Hone publishes no price at all for its tirzepatide
Cancellation: Cancel anytime, effective when you submit the cancellation form. No refunds for partial months. A medication order can be refunded only within 48 hours and before the pharmacy processes it. Pauses of up to 3 months are offered, and the terms state fees already paid are not refundable

1 more documented strengths
- +All 50 states, free shipping, no insurance required, 24/7 patient support claimed
Cons

- −Restrictive refund policy, Gala's published terms state 'IN NO EVENT SHALL YOU BE ISSUED A REFUND UPON CANCELLATION OF THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES' with a narrow exception for provider-initiated medical disqualification. No money-back guarantee. Read the published policy at galaglp1.com/refund-policy before enrolling on a commitment plan

Check the medication, renewal bill and cancellation commitment for the plan you would actually choose. The dated assessments below are not a fresh head-to-head score audit.
