Trade-offs
Strengths and cautions compared
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
- +B12 is listed as an added ingredient in the GLP1 + B12 program
- +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.
- −The September 3, 2026 review snapshot recorded billing and delivery complaints alongside a BBB F grade and no accreditation. The current complaint record and which reports concern GLP-1 treatment remain unconfirmed.
- −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.
Shed
Pros
- +One flat price at any dose, Shed's pricing page states the monthly price never rises as the dose escalates
- +$199/mo is competitively priced for an all-inclusive compounded program with good support
- +Onboarding is fully online and asynchronous in many states, with same day approval advertised, though Shed says some states require a video visit before treatment
1 more documented strengths
- +Clean, modern UX with real-time shipping tracking and easy provider messaging
Cons
- −Brand name Wegovy, Zepbound and Foundayo sit behind a separate Shed membership, quoted at $125 a month on all three product pages, with the medication billed on top by the dispensing pharmacy. The small print on the Wegovy and Zepbound pages still says $99, so Shed's own pages disagree on the figure.
- −Short track record and thin published outcome data. A founding date is not shown on the site's about, contact, terms or FAQ pages (rendered check 2026-09-03), and the best evidence available is a 4.7 Trustpilot score across 1,129 reviews on a profile claimed in April 2025
- −Shed does not bill insurance, so the compounded program is cash pay, though it accepts HSA and FSA cards, posts downloadable receipts for reimbursement, and includes prior authorization and appeals support on the brand name route
1 more documented cautions
- −Clinical support is responsive (replies typically within 24 hours) but less proactive than premium platforms; a $49.99/mo premium coaching add-on covers those who want higher touch
Our Verdict
The available assessments do not establish a score winner between PeterMD and Shed. Compare the medication, full cost, care and commitment that fit your needs. An incomplete assessment is not evidence of poor care. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: PeterMD is from $149/mo; Shed is from $159/mo. Shed lists brand-name and compounded options. Check the exact product, availability and payment terms; these are not interchangeable treatments.
