What to watch for with TMates and Wellorithm

TMates

  • The $99/mo Wegovy or Zepbound tier buys the prescription and provider oversight only. TMates says it does not dispense or ship the drug, and no price for the medication itself appears on its product or category pages, so your own pharmacy bills you separately (checked 2026-09-03).
  • 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.
TMates' strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • 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

More to watch for

  • 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.
Medicines listed
  • Semaglutide (compounded, injectable or oral)
  • Tirzepatide (compounded injectable; the product page also shows an Oral format, but every dosing instruction on it describes a weekly injection)
  • Phentermine (oral)
  • Wegovy (brand-name clinical service only, prescription, not dispensing)
  • Zepbound (brand-name clinical service only, prescription, not dispensing)
Insurance
Lists insurance support. Confirm coverage for your plan.
Consultation
Included
Shipping
Free (for compounded; brand-name filled at patient's pharmacy)
States
Most states. TMates advertises all 50 states on its homepage and 50+ states on its about page, while its semaglutide page says it ships to most states based on medical eligibility (checked 2026-09-03)
Cancellation
Product pages say cancel anytime. The terms give a full refund only before the medical review, or after it if you do not qualify. Once a prescription is written and sent to a pharmacy there is no refund, and a denied refund request leaves any payment plan in force (checked 2026-09-03)

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
Medicines listed
  • Semaglutide injection (compounded)
  • Tirzepatide injection (compounded)
  • GLP-1 oral dissolving tablets (listed on the homepage; medicine and price not published, checked 2026-10-16)

Insurance
No insurance support listed
Consultation
Included; a short online evaluation then clinician review, which the site describes as approval 'in no time' (verified 2026-09-03). Wellorithm separately states that online approval typically completes within 24 hours
Shipping
Included; the program page advertises 'Free, expedited delivery' and '$147 + Fast, Free Shipping' (verified 2026-09-03). Wellorithm separately states that most orders ship two-day air
States
All 50 states plus DC; no service outside the United States. The pricing page, FAQ, program page and Terms all say 50 states plus DC (checked 2026-10-16)
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
