Why each oneTwo compounded programs at two prices: GLP1 plus B12 from $149/mo, and tirzepatide plus B12 at $209/mo for any dose, with the page stating the price does not rise as your dose increases.
The combination of compounded GLP-1 in BOTH injectable and oral dissolving tablet formats AND a 10% weight-loss money-back guarantee, a format breadth and outcome-tied refund policy that few compounded-only platforms offer in combination, paired with the trade-off that no founder or legal entity is named on the site.

Watch out forThe 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.
Founding year, corporate ownership and the legal entity behind the program are not published on wellorithm.com; the Terms describe it only as 'a Miami-based company' that connects patients with unnamed 'Professional Entities' (verified 2026-09-03). The program page and every medication page do name three partner physicians, and the contact page gives a Miami street address and phone, so the gap is corporate rather than clinical

Pros & Cons 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
  • +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.

Wellorithm

Pros

  • +Compounded GLP-1 available in BOTH injectable AND oral dissolving tablet formats, semaglutide and tirzepatide each in two formats, broader format menu than most compounded-only platforms
  • +10% weight-loss money-back guarantee: patients who don't lose at least 10% of baseline weight after 16 weeks of medication adherence may be eligible for refund of up to four months of program fees (verified weight documentation required)
  • +Competitive entry pricing, $147/mo compounded semaglutide and $249/mo compounded tirzepatide put Wellorithm near the cheaper end of the compounded market
  • +Short online eligibility quiz, virtual consultation, 24/7 support availability claimed
  • +23,000+ reviews and 4.9-star rating reported (volume is unusually high for this market segment, verify on independent third-party sources before relying on it)
  • +Spring promotion advertised at $147 with free shipping included

Cons

  • Founding year, corporate ownership and the legal entity behind the program are not published on wellorithm.com; the Terms describe it only as 'a Miami-based company' that connects patients with unnamed 'Professional Entities' (verified 2026-09-03). The program page and every medication page do name three partner physicians, and the contact page gives a Miami street address and phone, so the gap is corporate rather than clinical
  • 49 states only, service is unavailable in Louisiana and outside the United States
  • Billing runs on a 28-day recurring cycle and payments are non-refundable once processed, with no proration for partial months; cancel before your next cycle processes to avoid paying for an unused month
  • The weight-loss guarantee has strict eligibility terms: verified weight documentation (doctor attestation or video evidence), prior medication history disclosure, consistent dosing adherence, and refund processed within 30 days of approval, with only fees actually paid refundable and baseline payments non-refundable; document your starting weight from day one if you plan to rely on it
  • Brand-name prices carry conditions the headline figures do not show: the Ozempic and Zepbound pages advertise $1,119 a month at the top and $1,199 a month in the pricing card, and all four brand pages footnote that the figure applies to a 500mg three-month plan paid upfront or through a buy now, pay later program (verified 2026-09-03). Budget for the prepaid plan, not the monthly number

Our Verdict

Wellorithm edges out PeterMD with a score of 7.4/10 vs 7.3/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: PeterMD is from $149/mo; Wellorithm is from $147/mo. Wellorithm offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.
