TMates beats Trimi Health overall, scoring 7.8/10 vs 4.2/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: TMates is from $158/mo; Trimi Health is $175/mo month-to-month. Choose TMates for users who want commitment-discount pricing on compounded glp-1s ($158-$249/mo, medication included) or a $99/mo clinical path to brand wegovy or zepbound filled at their own pharmacy. Choose Trimi Health for cash-pay patients who want the cheapest flat-price compounded semaglutide we track ($99/mo on the annual plan) and will accept a weak trustpilot record plus no-pro-rating cancellation terms in exchange.

TMates

#11 of 54

7.8/10

Telemedicine platform offering two distinct archetypes: compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with medication included (commitment pricing $158-$249/mo), and a clinical-service-only path to brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound at $99/mo where the prescription is sent to the patient's pharmacy. Phentermine also available. 2026 expansion added brand-name FDA-approved options.

Trimi Health

#52 of 54

4.2/10

Telehealth platform for compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide. Weekly injections in vial-and-syringe format only, no pens, no oral option. Pricing is flat across all doses, with the consult and overnight shipping included. Prescriptions route through the Arora Health medical group (Dr. Sean Arora MD, medical director) and are filled by VialsRx and GreenwichRx, the same backend that powers Telos RX. Founded May 2024 per the site's own schema markup; no legal entity suffix or street address is disclosed.

Pros & Cons Compared

TMates

Pros

+Clinical-service-only path to brand Wegovy and Zepbound at $99/mo, prescription goes to patient's pharmacy (you fill separately using insurance or cash)
+Steep multi-month commitment discounts on compounded sema, $158/mo on 12-month plan ($1,900 upfront) vs $249/mo month-to-month
+Same price at all dose levels for compounded, no cost escalation as you titrate up
+Phentermine available at $149/mo for patients who benefit from a different appetite-suppressant approach

Cons

−The $99/mo Wegovy/Zepbound tier is the clinical service only. Medication is billed separately at your pharmacy (can be $1,000+/mo cash without insurance). Choose this tier when your insurance covers the drug itself.
−The best compounded rates require prepayment: $1,050 upfront for 6 months, $1,900 for 12. Start at $249 month-to-month if you want to test fit first.
−The intake is a 90-second quiz. Fast, but lighter screening than competitors with full medical intakes. Better suited to patients who already know GLP-1 basics.
−TMates prescribes brand-name but does not dispense it, and is not affiliated with Novo Nordisk (Wegovy) or Eli Lilly (Zepbound). Your own pharmacy fills the Rx.

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
+Named medical director, Dr. Sean Arora MD of the Arora Health medical group, most compounded-only platforms name no one
+Compounding pharmacies named: VialsRx (TX license #35264, site-claimed) and GreenwichRx, most competitors do not name theirs
+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 FELL from 4.6 earlier in 2026 to 3.4 across 71 reviews, ranking #62 of 70 in its category, recurring complaints cite account closures and withheld refunds
−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
−No legal entity disclosed, the site identifies only 'Trimi Health' with no LLC/Inc suffix and no street address (New York appears only in the site's schema markup)
−Vial-and-syringe format only, no autoinjector pens, no oral option, no brand-name medications
−LegitScript certification claimed but we could not verify it against LegitScript's registry
−Mandatory arbitration clause in the terms
−Retatrutide and orforglipron are listed as 'Preparing', roadmap items, not available today, do not enroll expecting them
−Shares its medical group (Arora Health) and pharmacy (VialsRx) with Telos RX, a white-label backend relationship neither brand discloses on its own site

Our Verdict

TMates edges out Trimi Health with a score of 7.8/10 vs 4.2/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: TMates is from $158/mo; Trimi Health is $175/mo month-to-month. TMates accepts insurance, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs. TMates offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.
