Consider SkinnyRx if

Cash-pay readers comparing compounded injections and dissolving tablets with a clinician, after confirming the refill bill and evidence for the exact formulation.

Consider Trimi Health if

Cash-pay patients who want the cheapest flat-price compounded semaglutide we track ($99/mo on the annual plan) and will accept a Trustpilot rating the platform has withheld for a guidelines breach, plus no-pro-rating cancellation terms, in exchange.

Trade-offs

Strengths and cautions compared

SkinnyRx

Pros

  • +Four product-specific options to discuss with a clinician: semaglutide or tirzepatide, each as an injection or a dissolving tablet
  • +$99 for the first month on both the compounded semaglutide and the compounded tirzepatide injection, quoted on each product page, among the lowest entry rates in the compounded segment
  • +Fast onboarding: a short online intake, a prescription within 24 hours where no video visit is required, and free overnight shipping on all orders with tracking within 2 business days
1 more documented strengths
  • +A public Trustpilot profile provides service feedback to read alongside the FDA record and the written billing terms; those reviews do not establish tablet effectiveness

Cons

  • −Every advertised price is a first month rate and SkinnyRx does not publish what month two costs. Its terms say the renewal rate is described at checkout, and that discounts may be reversed if you cancel before the end of a promotional or committed term.
  • −SkinnyRx names its medical director, Sajad Zalzala, M.D., and names AyaRx as the telemedicine partner behind its medical services, but it does not name the compounding pharmacy that fills prescriptions and it publishes no founders or executive team.
  • −Cash-pay only, does not bill commercial insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. HSA/FSA payments are accepted, which is the main way to soften the cost.
2 more documented cautions
  • −Independent reviews flag inconsistent customer-service responsiveness, a real consideration since titration support and dose adjustments run through chat
  • −FDA warning letter #717989, issued February 20, 2026 to Lean Rx, Inc. dba SkinnyRx, cites misleading labels and website claims for compounded GLP-1s. It is a labeling/marketing record, not an unsafe-medication finding

Trimi Health

Pros

  • +$99/mo compounded semaglutide on the annual plan (billed $1,188 once yearly) is among the cheapest flat recurring rates we track; tirzepatide annual is $125/mo ($1,500 yearly)
  • +Flat pricing across all doses, your monthly price does not rise as your dose titrates up
  • +Consult and overnight shipping included in the plan price, no add-on fees; HSA/FSA accepted, Klarna and Affirm financing available
4 more documented strengths
  • +Two named physicians, Dr. Sean Arora MD (medical director) and Dr. Shannon Arora MD (chief medical officer) of the Arora Health medical group, most compounded-only platforms name no one
  • +Trimi names BelieveRx (formerly VialsRx, according to Trimi) and GreenwichRx as its 503A pharmacy partners; check the dispensing pharmacy on your own prescription label
  • +Available in all 50 states plus DC per trytrimi.com/states
  • +6-month money-back weight-loss promise published (conditions apply, read them before counting on it)

Cons

  • −Trustpilot has withheld Trimi's star rating for a breach of its review guidelines and says it removed a number of fake reviews. Of the 55 reviews displayed, 64 percent are one star (checked 2026-09-23). Recent reviewers report fulfillment, refund and certificate-of-analysis concerns; these individual accounts do not establish medication quality
  • −Once a prescription is signed, payments are final, no pro-rating, cancelling an annual plan mid-year forfeits the remainder. Full refund is available only BEFORE the prescription is signed
  • −The site names New York City as its base but publishes no street address and no legal entity name, calling itself only 'Trimi Health' with no LLC or Inc suffix on its contact, about, terms or FAQ pages (rendered check 2026-09-03)
5 more documented cautions
  • −Vial-and-syringe format only, no autoinjector pens, no oral option, no brand-name medications
  • −Trimi says it is LegitScript certified on its treatment pages and links to LegitScript's own checker, but that checker page shows no certification record for trytrimi.com (checked 2026-09-03)
  • −The terms carry a mandatory arbitration clause and a class action waiver, with a written opt-out available within 30 days of first accepting them
  • −The site contradicts itself on commitment: the treatment page FAQ says you can cancel any time with no long-term commitments, while the pricing page and refund policy say the quarterly, 6-month and annual tiers are commitments for their stated term and payments are final once a prescription is issued (checked 2026-09-03)
  • −Free overnight shipping only starts counting after clinician review and after the pharmacy compounds the order, so Trimi's own reviews page puts the honest end to end wait at a few days rather than one night (verified 2026-09-03)

Our Verdict

SkinnyRx edges out Trimi Health with a score of 5.3/10 vs 4.2/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: SkinnyRx is $99 first month, renewal not verified; Trimi Health is $175/mo month-to-month. SkinnyRx offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.
