Novi

#8 of 54

7.8/10

Telehealth platform for compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide that also lists brand-name Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound in stock from $1500. Pricing is published per billing cycle on the product pages: compounded semaglutide at $149 for one month, $130 for three, $129 for six and $88 for twelve; compounded tirzepatide at $179, $149, $133 and $129 across the same cycles. The monthly price covers the consultation, medication, supplies, shipping and unlimited physician messaging, and it does not change with the dose. The homepage advertises "Cancel anytime", but the terms of service require a minimum three-month commitment charged upfront and called non-refundable.

Pros & Cons Compared

Novi

Pros

+Compounded and brand-name GLP-1s in one catalogue: compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with published rates, plus Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound listed in stock from $1500
+Serves all 50 states and Washington DC, with a short video or audio visit required only in Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and West Virginia
+Per cycle prices are printed on the product pages instead of hidden behind the quiz: compounded semaglutide at $149 for one month, $130 for three, $129 for six and $88 for twelve
+Unlimited physician messaging, follow-ups and dose adjustments through the online portal, with consultation, supplies and shipping included in the monthly price and the same price at every dose
+Free 2-day shipping; Novi markets compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, which are not FDA-approved brands or generics and are not established as equivalent to Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Zepbound
+On-time refills shipped every 28 days after a short check-in, with free discreet delivery quoted at two to three business days on the product pages

Cons

−The homepage advertises "Cancel anytime" and "No monthly membership", but the terms of service require a minimum three-month commitment with all three months charged at purchase and called non-refundable
−The only address Novi shows is a Sheridan, Wyoming mailing suite used by large numbers of registered LLCs, the terms name Novi International LLC in one place and Novi Health LLC in the arbitration clause, and no founding year is shown on its terms, privacy or FAQ pages (rendered check 2026-09-03)
−The cheapest advertised rates need the longest billing cycle: compounded semaglutide is $88/mo on the twelve-month cycle but $149/mo on the one-month cycle, and compounded tirzepatide runs $129/mo to $179/mo the same way
−The refund policy says Novi is "unable to accept returns", while the product pages advertise a Progress Promise full refund and point to the terms of service for the details; "Progress Promise" is not shown anywhere on that terms page (rendered check 2026-09-03)
−Lab requirements before prescribing are not disclosed on public pages, unclear whether baseline bloodwork is required
−The headline price on the homepage changes with screen width, $133/mo on a desktop and $99/mo on a phone at the same address, and it sits beside a countdown that restarts on every page load

PeterMD

Pros

+The tirzepatide plus B12 program is one price for any dose, $209/mo, and the page says it does not go up as you titrate
+PeterMD advertises more than 400,000 patients served and a 4.9 out of 5 rating from over 20,000 reviews
+Semaglutide + B12 formulation helps reduce nausea, the most common GLP-1 side effect
+Video consultations with physicians included, real face-to-face medical oversight

Cons

−The excluded states differ by page: the GLP1 plus B12 program lists AL, ID, AK and HI, the tirzepatide page lists only AL and ID, and the intake form asks about Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho and Hawaii. Confirm your own state during signup before planning around PeterMD.
−Not BBB accredited, and some documented complaints cite delayed medication fulfillment. Order refills ahead of your last dose rather than at the last minute.
−PeterMD began as a testosterone replacement therapy platform; GLP-1 is an expansion, not the original core. The included video consultations give you a direct read on the clinical team.

Our Verdict

Novi edges out PeterMD with a score of 7.8/10 vs 7.3/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Novi is from $88/mo; PeterMD is from $149/mo. Novi offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.
