TMates

#14 of 53

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.

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.

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
+2-minute qualification 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 named prescribers are NOT publicly disclosed, and the only address listed is a German one (Berlin, DE 81566), unusual for a platform serving US patients; if disclosed leadership matters to you, weigh this first
−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
−Compounded-only, no FDA-approved Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Foundayo; FDA does not review compounded medications for safety, effectiveness, or manufacturing quality
−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
−Two different affiliate landing pages (campaign-7 and qoroxapi/lead.php direct route) run different funnel structures, so the post-click experience can vary

Our Verdict

TMates edges out Wellorithm with a score of 7.8/10 vs 7.4/10. If budget is your priority, Wellorithm starts at $147/mo compared to TMates's $158/mo. TMates accepts insurance, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs. TMates offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility. Choose TMates if you want: 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 Wellorithm if you want: cash-pay patients who want compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide in a rare oral dissolving tablet format, backed by a 10% weight-loss money-back guarantee and 24/7 support.
