Pros & Cons Compared

PeterMD

Pros

+Flat $165/mo at all dose levels, price doesn't increase as you titrate up to maintenance doses
+100,000+ patient base with 4.9/5 Trustpilot rating from 14,000+ reviews, strong social proof
+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

−Available in 42 states, not all 50 (8 states are excluded). Check your 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.

Shed

Pros

+Industry-leading delivery speed, most patients receive medication within 2-3 days of enrollment
+$199/mo is competitively priced for an all-inclusive compounded program with good support
+Streamlined onboarding with no video call, approved and shipped faster than most competitors
+Clean, modern UX with real-time shipping tracking and easy provider messaging

Cons

−The core $199 program is compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide; brand-name access runs through a separate $99/mo pathway subscription with medication billed at pharmacy rates on top
−Newer company (founded 2024) with limited long-term track record and outcome data; the 4.6/5 Trustpilot rating across 766 reviews is the strongest early evidence available
−No insurance billing and no FSA/HSA superbills currently available
−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

Shed edges out PeterMD with a score of 7.8/10 vs 7.3/10. If budget is your priority, PeterMD starts at $165/mo compared to Shed's $199/mo. Shed offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility. Choose PeterMD if you want: budget-conscious users looking for the lowest monthly glp-1 cost. Choose Shed if you want: users who want fast delivery and a streamlined compounded glp-1 experience.
