TMates GLP-1 Review
Telemedicine platform offering two distinct archetypes: compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with medication included (semaglutide $158-$249/mo, tirzepatide $167-$297/mo on commitment pricing), 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.

What they offer
- 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)
Why consider it
- 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
Worth knowing
- 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.
- 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.
What customers say
- Trustpilot
- Not verified
TMates has a near-nonexistent independent review footprint. Its real Trustpilot profile shows a TrustScore of just 3.2 from a single review (a 1-star review citing a $347 charge, an un-bookable consultation, and only a partial refund), and a secondary Trustpilot profile (tmates.reviewsandbuy.com) was removed by Trustpilot for guideline violations. Its own patient numbers do not line up either: the homepage claims 70K+ happy patients in one place and 100,000+ patients in another, the about page says 100k+ orders fulfilled and 10+ years experience, and every product page says 2,400+ patients (checked 2026-09-03). BBB lists it as not accredited with multiple billing and cancellation complaints. Recurring criticism centers on billing disputes, unwanted charges after cancellation, and difficulty scheduling consultations.

Why we reached this verdict
TMates is one of the few platforms with a cheap clinical path to brand-name GLP-1s: $99/mo for the Wegovy or Zepbound prescription, medication billed separately at your pharmacy (ideal when insurance covers the drug). Compounded semaglutide is all-in with medication and free shipping at $249/mo month-to-month, down to $158/mo on the 12-month plan ($1,900 upfront). Compounded tirzepatide runs higher, $297/mo month-to-month down to $167/mo on the 12-month plan ($1,999 upfront). Phentermine at $149/mo is available as a non-GLP-1 alternative. Pick the compounded track for one predictable bill, or the $99 track if you're insured, and read the refund terms first: once a prescription reaches a pharmacy TMates gives no refund, which bites hardest on the prepaid plans.
What makes it different: Two-archetype platform: (1) compounded GLP-1s with medication included and steep multi-month commitment discounts; (2) cheap $99/mo clinical service for brand Wegovy/Zepbound where you fill the prescription at your own pharmacy.

What the doctors say about GLP-1 medications
Independent, sourced clinical context on the medication class, not a comment on this provider.
“People with overweight or obesity have individual preferences, and with oral semaglutide as a potential new treatment option, more of those who are not on treatment today may consider starting GLP-1 treatment.”
“We now have medicines that not only reduce heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral arterial disease, but also simultaneously lead to meaningful weight loss, which in turn lowers the risk of many weight-related conditions. These treatments also improve patients' quality of life in a meaningful way, making this a genuine win, win.”
Quotes are general medical commentary about GLP-1 medications, independently sourced and not solicited by GLP-1 Picks. They are not an endorsement of any provider, our provider scores are set solely by our published methodology.
TMates reviews: what customers say
Recorded third-party ratings and source links for TMates. “Not verified” means this review has no confirmed figure; it does not establish that no profile exists.
TMates has a near-nonexistent independent review footprint. Its real Trustpilot profile shows a TrustScore of just 3.2 from a single review (a 1-star review citing a $347 charge, an un-bookable consultation, and only a partial refund), and a secondary Trustpilot profile (tmates.reviewsandbuy.com) was removed by Trustpilot for guideline violations. Its own patient numbers do not line up either: the homepage claims 70K+ happy patients in one place and 100,000+ patients in another, the about page says 100k+ orders fulfilled and 10+ years experience, and every product page says 2,400+ patients (checked 2026-09-03). BBB lists it as not accredited with multiple billing and cancellation complaints. Recurring criticism centers on billing disputes, unwanted charges after cancellation, and difficulty scheduling consultations.
Reddit: Essentially zero organic Reddit discussion despite TMates advertising 100,000+ patients on its own site; the absence of any community footprint is itself a red flag, and the limited third-party reviews that exist skew negative (billing and cancellation friction).
