Compare the price unit as well as the number. A medication-only price, prepaid monthly equivalent and complete recurring program are not the same thing.

FeatureTrimRxWillow
Why each oneFour compounded products through one intake, injectable and oral, plus a shipping policy that grants a refund if nothing ships within 14 days. Neither resolves the price conflict between its offer page and its terms, nor the fulfillment complaint record.
A compounded program with separate semaglutide and tirzepatide dissolving tablets, plus a combination tablet. The format choice may suit a reader who wants to discuss needle-free treatment with a clinician; it does not establish equivalence to an approved pill or injection.

Watch out forThe $149 floor on an offer page checked September 3 is not what TrimRx's own terms charge: GLP-1 is listed there at $199 for the first month then $299, and GLP-1 + GIP at $349 then $399.

Trade-offs

Strengths and cautions compared

TrimRx

Pros

  • +One intake covers compounded GLP-1 and GLP-1 + GIP injections plus compounded oral versions of both
  • +The offer page checked September 3 advertised a $149 entry floor for GLP-1 and $249 for GLP-1 + GIP, although neither figure matches the medication schedule in the official terms
  • +The intake is a short online assessment with no video call, and the terms say compounded medication generally ships within 48 business hours of the prescription reaching the pharmacy
1 more documented strengths
  • +A published shipping policy that gives you the right to request a refund if your medication has not shipped within 14 days of the order, whatever the status of the medical review

Cons

  • −The $149 floor on an offer page checked September 3 is not what TrimRx's own terms charge: GLP-1 is listed there at $199 for the first month then $299, and GLP-1 + GIP at $349 then $399. Its homepage advertises a third pair of figures, $179 and $259, so confirm the exact charge at checkout
  • −Trustpilot is 3.6/5 across 5,632 reviews with 32% one star, checked 2026-09-03; BBB rated TrimRx F and not accredited with 728 unanswered and 221 unresolved complaints when we last read the profile on August 14, 2026
  • −The same paid-but-no-medication, billing, refund and fulfillment themes recur across BBB and Trustpilot, meeting our rubric's cross-platform -3.0 fulfillment-failure threshold
3 more documented cautions
  • −TrimRx lists brand Wegovy and Ozempic at $1,149 and brand Zepbound and Mounjaro at $1,249 as in stock, while the footer on those same pages says it does not sell, dispense or ship any branded medication and that you are responsible for filling the prescription at your own pharmacy and cost. Its compounded products are not FDA-approved finished products.
  • −No insurance billing, so treat the monthly price as a pure cash-pay number. TrimRx does accept HSA and FSA cards among its payment methods
  • −A TrimRx offer page checked September 3 promised "we guarantee you'll lose weight or your money back", but a disclaimer lower on the same page says weight loss is not guaranteed, and the terms allow refunds only for medical disqualification, a billing error, or unused prepaid months requested within 28 days (verified 2026-09-03)

Willow

Pros

  • +Includes monthly provider check-ins and dose adjustments at no extra cost
  • +Compounded daily dissolving tablets for semaglutide and tirzepatide, offering a needle-free format to discuss with the prescriber
  • +$299/mo covers compounded semaglutide at the starting doses, injectable or tablet, with monthly provider support and no separate consultation fee
1 more documented strengths
  • +A US licensed doctor reviews and confirms the prescription the same day, and two-day shipping is free, both stated on the product pages (verified 2026-09-03)

Cons

  • −Compounded-only, no brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound through the platform
  • −Both headline prices are floors. Tirzepatide starts at $399/mo against $299 for semaglutide, and on the help center pricing article maintenance tirzepatide injections run $499/mo from 8.5 mg, $524/mo at 13.5 mg and $549/mo at 17 mg (checked 2026-09-03)
  • −Cash-pay only. Willow does not bill insurance. You pay with an HSA or FSA card at checkout, or pay out of pocket and submit receipts to your insurer yourself, with reimbursement depending on your plan and deductible (checked 2026-09-03)
1 more documented cautions
  • −The program auto-renews, and a cancellation has to reach the care team at least two business days before the next processing date to stop a charge. A full refund only applies if you cancel before the prescription goes to the pharmacy, and the informed consent page says orders cannot be cancelled, returned or refunded once shipped (checked 2026-09-03)

Our Verdict

Willow edges out TrimRx with a score of 7.5/10 vs 5.3/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: TrimRx is published $149/mo; total not verified; Willow is from $299/mo. TrimRx offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.

Cheapest complete recurring price in our index

Eden Health GLP-1

$99/mo month-to-month, from $34 on a plan · 6.9/10 · Both

Across all 36 providers in our index, the lowest price with affirmative medication, consultation, and shipping inclusion is Eden Health GLP-1 at $99/mo, price checked August 28, 2026. It scores 6.9/10 and is not the highest-scored provider in our full rankings, so this is a cost floor rather than a recommendation. Worth knowing before you decide.
