The decision

Which should you choose, MyStart Health or Trimi Health?

Short answer: Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: MyStart Health is from $299/mo; Trimi Health is $175/mo month-to-month. Compare the exact medication, renewal bill and cancellation terms before choosing.

Consider MyStart Health if

Users who want a monthly price that stays locked as their dose increases, and who can live with a policy that refunds nothing once medication ships.

Consider Trimi Health if

Cash-pay patients who want the cheapest flat-price compounded semaglutide we track ($99/mo on the annual plan) and will accept a Trustpilot rating the platform has withheld for a guidelines breach, plus no-pro-rating cancellation terms, in exchange.

How do the plan costs and terms compare?

Compare the full bill, not just the advertised monthly number. These are published terms, not a personal prescription quote. We may earn a commission from marked partner links; other providers appear here for comparison. Scores use our last published assessment; source dates below distinguish price checks from that assessment. How our links work.

MyStart Health: price and commitment

from $299/mo

See all published plans and prices

MyStart program (base monthly): $299. The program starts at $299 a month on the homepage FAQ, covering physician evaluations, unlimited clinician access, medication, blood work and shipping. The Price Lock Guarantee keeps this flat as your dose escalates

Tirzepatide (base monthly): $299. The site publishes one program floor, $299 a month, with no separate tirzepatide price. A homepage banner advertises $150 off plus 25% off for life, and the discounted figure is not printed anywhere on the site (checked 2026-09-03)

Cancellation: Cancel anytime, email support@mystarthealth.com with CANCEL in subject line

Trimi Health: price and commitment

month-to-month; $99/mo on an annual plan billed yearly

See all published plans and prices

Compounded Semaglutide, Month-to-Month: $175. $175/mo with no commitment. Consult + overnight shipping included. Flat across doses. The lowest-risk way to try Trimi given the no-pro-rating terms.

Compounded Semaglutide, 3-Month Plan: $145. $145/mo on a 3-month plan.

Compounded Semaglutide, 6-Month Plan: $120. $120/mo on a 6-month plan.

Compounded Semaglutide, Annual Plan: $99. $99/mo billed $1,188 once yearly. Cheapest rate, highest risk: payments are final once a prescription is signed, with no pro-rating if you cancel mid-year.

Compounded Tirzepatide, Month-to-Month: $235. $235/mo with no commitment. Flat across doses.

Compounded Tirzepatide, 3-Month Plan: $199. $199/mo billed $597 every 3 months. A commitment for its stated term, per the pricing page.

Compounded Tirzepatide, 6-Month Plan: $175. $175/mo billed $1,050 every 6 months. A commitment for its stated term, per the pricing page.

Compounded Tirzepatide, Annual Plan: $125. $125/mo billed $1,500 once yearly. Same no-pro-rating caveat as the semaglutide annual plan.

Cancellation: Full refund any time BEFORE a prescription is signed. After that, payments are final with no pro-rating, and the quarterly, 6-month and annual tiers are commitments for their stated term, though the refund policy says multi-month bundles are reviewed case by case if you want to exit early. A 6-month money-back weight-loss promise is published, and it requires a logged starting weight and a logged six-month weight in the patient portal. Terms include mandatory arbitration and a class action waiver, with a written opt-out available within 30 days of first accepting them

Trade-offs

Strengths and cautions compared

MyStart Health

Pros

  • +Price Lock Guarantee ensures your monthly rate never increases even as your GLP-1 dose escalates, a genuine differentiator
  • +All-inclusive $299 a month on the homepage FAQ, covering physician evaluations, unlimited clinician access, medication, blood work and shipping, with no membership fee on top
  • +Access to 600+ board-certified doctors with unlimited clinician messaging at no additional cost
1 more documented strengths
  • +You are not charged if you do not qualify: the homepage FAQ promises a full refund within 24 to 48 hours if a doctor finds you ineligible, and a free video appointment in that case

Cons

  • −FDA warning letter 714755, issued September 9, 2025 to MyStart Health LLC, found the claims about compounded semaglutide on mystarthealth.com false or misleading under sections 502(a) and 502(bb) of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. It concerns marketing, not an allegation that the medication was unsafe, and no public close-out letter had been posted as of September 4, 2026
  • −Cash-pay only, no insurance accepted, and the only payment method the site names is a credit card. If your plan covers GLP-1s, price that route first
  • −Nothing is refundable once your medication ships, including if you are dissatisfied or hit side effects, and returned medication is never accepted (refund policy effective December 1, 2025)
1 more documented cautions
  • −Compounded medications only, no brand-name GLP-1 option on the menu

Trimi Health

Pros

  • +$99/mo compounded semaglutide on the annual plan (billed $1,188 once yearly) is among the cheapest flat recurring rates we track; tirzepatide annual is $125/mo ($1,500 yearly)
  • +Flat pricing across all doses, your monthly price does not rise as your dose titrates up
  • +Consult and overnight shipping included in the plan price, no add-on fees; HSA/FSA accepted, Klarna and Affirm financing available
4 more documented strengths
  • +Two named physicians, Dr. Sean Arora MD (medical director) and Dr. Shannon Arora MD (chief medical officer) of the Arora Health medical group, most compounded-only platforms name no one
  • +Trimi names BelieveRx (formerly VialsRx, according to Trimi) and GreenwichRx as its 503A pharmacy partners; check the dispensing pharmacy on your own prescription label
  • +Available in all 50 states plus DC per trytrimi.com/states
  • +6-month money-back weight-loss promise published (conditions apply, read them before counting on it)

Cons

  • −Trustpilot has withheld Trimi's star rating for a breach of its review guidelines and says it removed a number of fake reviews. Of the 55 reviews displayed, 64 percent are one star (checked 2026-09-23). Recent reviewers report fulfillment, refund and certificate-of-analysis concerns; these individual accounts do not establish medication quality
  • −Once a prescription is signed, payments are final, no pro-rating, cancelling an annual plan mid-year forfeits the remainder. Full refund is available only BEFORE the prescription is signed
  • −The site names New York City as its base but publishes no street address and no legal entity name, calling itself only 'Trimi Health' with no LLC or Inc suffix on its contact, about, terms or FAQ pages (rendered check 2026-09-03)
5 more documented cautions
  • −Vial-and-syringe format only, no autoinjector pens, no oral option, no brand-name medications
  • −Trimi says it is LegitScript certified on its treatment pages and links to LegitScript's own checker, but that checker page shows no certification record for trytrimi.com (checked 2026-09-03)
  • −The terms carry a mandatory arbitration clause and a class action waiver, with a written opt-out available within 30 days of first accepting them
  • −The site contradicts itself on commitment: the treatment page FAQ says you can cancel any time with no long-term commitments, while the pricing page and refund policy say the quarterly, 6-month and annual tiers are commitments for their stated term and payments are final once a prescription is issued (checked 2026-09-03)
  • −Free overnight shipping only starts counting after clinician review and after the pharmacy compounds the order, so Trimi's own reviews page puts the honest end to end wait at a few days rather than one night (verified 2026-09-03)

Our Verdict

Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: MyStart Health is from $299/mo; Trimi Health is $175/mo month-to-month. 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.

Cheapest complete recurring price in our index

Eden Health GLP-1

$99/mo month-to-month, from $34 on a plan · 6.9/10 · Both

Both MyStart Health and Trimi Health start above the cheapest complete recurring program we track. Across all 36 providers in our index, the lowest price with affirmative medication, consultation, and shipping inclusion is Eden Health GLP-1 at $99/mo, price checked August 28, 2026. It scores 6.9/10 and is not the highest-scored provider in our full rankings, so this is a cost floor rather than a recommendation. Worth knowing before you decide.
