These are conflicting quotes, not a confirmed selected total; ask which medication price and membership fee apply.
  • Wegovy Pen (brand-name)$199Medication only: the Wegovy page disclaimer lists the pen from $199/mo for new cash-pay patients, plus $99 Shed membership.

What to watch for with Shed and Wellorithm

Shed

  • Brand medication is paid separately from Shed membership. The Wegovy page disagrees on both: its opening lists $349 to $499 for medication plus $125/mo membership, without assigning that range to pill or pen; its disclaimer lists medication from $149 for the pill or $199 for the pen for new cash-pay patients, plus $99 membership. Confirm the selected medication charge and membership fee.
  • 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's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • 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
  • Clean, modern UX with real-time shipping tracking and easy provider messaging

More to watch for

  • 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
  • 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

Cancellation
Cancel at least 72 hours before the next billing date; multi-month cancellations require 72 hours before the next shipment. Multi-month plans have a two-month minimum. Cancellation does not itself create a refund right: where a refund is due, shipped months are ordinarily repriced at the standard rate. Medical and other specified exceptions have separate refund rules.

Wellorithm

  • The October 30 terms name Wellorithm Inc. and give a Miami legal notice address. That disclosure does not independently verify incorporation, ownership, founders or a medical director. The October 8, 2026 review did not verify which named clinician oversees this GLP-1 program or their program-specific role
  • October 22 pricing records $247 semaglutide or $349 tirzepatide renewals. Current published terms specify calendar-month injection billing; confirm your selected order's current charge, taxes and next payment date
Wellorithm's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • One price at every dose: the pricing page states the medication price is the same across the semaglutide range of 0.25 to 2.4 mg and the tirzepatide range of 2.5 to 15 mg (checked October 16, 2026)
  • Conditional weight-loss refund guarantee: if expressly included in the accepted offer, eligible new customers losing less than 10% of baseline weight after 16 weeks of adherence may request up to four months of fees actually paid; verification and other conditions apply
  • The pricing page shows your first payment and your renewal side by side: $147 then $247 per renewal for semaglutide, $249 then $349 for tirzepatide, with the consultation and shipping included
  • 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)
  • Free, discreet shipping is included in the advertised injection plan

More to watch for

  • Request compounded GLP-1 renewal cancellation at least 48 hours before the disclosed charge through your account or by email, and keep the effective-date confirmation. Later legal rights and stoppable orders still apply; cancellation alone does not create a current-term or prorated refund
  • The guarantee must be expressly included in your accepted offer. Its conditions include new-customer eligibility, treatment adherence and no other weight-loss medication in the preceding year as disclosed in the offer. Weight verification is required; approved refunds cover up to four months of fees actually paid and are processed within 30 days after verification
  • The historical Ozempic and Zepbound pages showed $1,119 in the hero and $1,199 in a pricing card, alongside an internally inconsistent plan footnote. Neither that footnote nor the conflicting prices establishes a valid dose or total bill. Obtain the exact medication, dose, term and upfront charge before paying

States

Cancellation
The October 30 terms, checked November 4, 2026, allow renewal cancellation through your account or contact@wellorithm.com, with confirmation of the effective date. Request compounded GLP-1 cancellation at least 48 hours before the disclosed renewal charge; later legal rights and any charge or unfulfilled order that can still be stopped remain protected. If no prescription follows the initial evaluation, the medication amount is not charged or is refunded; only a separately itemized and disclosed before payment, earned for a completed evaluation and lawfully chargeable consultation fee may be retained. You may request order cancellation before dispensing or irreversible fulfillment. Cancellation does not itself refund a properly charged current term or create a prorated refund; eligibility, guarantee, billing-error and legal remedies remain. Specific accepted order terms control commercial conflicts. The weight-loss guarantee applies only if expressly included in your accepted offer and all eligibility conditions are met
