The short answer

Four major providers—Eden, Found, Noom Med, and Mochi Health—advertise semaglutide at or near $99, and all four offers are legitimate marketing claims when read in full context. Eden's $99 is medication only and requires a separate $99 monthly membership (total $198). Found's $99 is an annual effective rate requiring $1,188 upfront and primarily supports insurance pathways; the cash-pay monthly option is $289. Noom Med's introductory offer is a three-week microdose teaser that renews at $179 monthly; its core membership is $129 quarterly for program access, medication excluded. Mochi Health's $60 covers the starting dose of medication only, with a $39 first-month membership; higher doses and ongoing membership cost more. None of the $99 headline figures represents the recurring all-in month-to-month cost a typical patient will pay after the first delivery. Competing flat-rate models—including PlexusDx semaglutide injection at $189 month-to-month or $149 on a six-month plan, MEDVi at $179 first month then $299 refill, and Henry Meds injection at $297—bundle medication, clinician visits, and shipping in a single figure with no separate membership, making price-to-price comparison straightforward.

At-a-glance: advertised $99 semaglutide vs. recurring all-in cost

Advertised figures captured September 4, 2026 (Eden, Found, Noom Med, Mochi Health) and July 17–23, 2026 (PlexusDx, MEDVi, Henry Meds). Recurring rates reflect month-to-month billing; multi-month prepaid plans may lower the effective monthly cost.

Breaking down each $99 semaglutide offer

Eden: $99 medication + $99 membership = $198 all-in

Eden advertises compounded semaglutide at $99 per month. That figure covers medication only. A separate membership fee of $39 for the first month, then $99 monthly thereafter, is required and billed independently. The combined recurring all-in cost is $198 per month ($99 medication + $99 membership), confirmed in evidence captured July 17–23, 2026, and September 4, 2026. Route and formulation availability is clinician-dependent. Eden also offers compounded tirzepatide at $199 medication plus the same $99 membership, for a $298 monthly total. Billing is monthly with no multi-month contract required. Eden holds a 4.5-star rating across approximately 5,000 Trustpilot reviews (captured September 4, 2026). One captured 1-star review from the same date reports an 11-day order delay and repeated requests for medical records Eden had previously issued; individual Trustpilot reports are allegations and may not represent typical service.

Found: $99 annual insurance plan vs. $289 monthly cash-pay

Found advertises semaglutide and tirzepatide each at $99 per month on its insurance-support plan. That $99 is an annual effective rate requiring $1,188 upfront payment for twelve months of program access; typical insurance copays for branded medications run approximately $30 and are billed separately. Patients who prefer monthly billing pay $199 per month for the insurance-support plan. Found's cash-pay plan—which includes compounded medication in the subscription—costs $169 per month when paid annually ($2,028 upfront) or $289 per month on a monthly cycle. Branded medications are always billed separately. Evidence was captured September 4, 2026, and July 17–23, 2026. Found offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections, branded GLP-1 options, and an oral product called Foundayo; route availability is clinician-dependent. Found holds a 4.1-star rating across approximately 732 Trustpilot reviews (captured September 4, 2026).

Noom Med: introductory microdose offer, then $179 monthly or $129 core program (medication excluded)

Noom Med advertises an introductory microdose offer that includes a three-week subscription plus four weeks of medication. After that initial period, the microdose program renews at $179 per month for a twelve-week subscription cycle. Noom Med's separate Core Med membership costs $129 per month when billed quarterly ($387 upfront) and provides access to the clinical weight-management program; medication is excluded and must be filled through insurance or paid separately. Noom Med also supports branded injectable GLP-1s and a GLP-1Rx Plus tier; specific medication costs were not published in the captured evidence. The company's overall Trustpilot profile shows 4.5 stars across approximately 67,000 reviews (captured September 4, 2026), though that figure reflects Noom's entire service portfolio and is not GLP-1-specific. One Reddit anecdote captured September 4, 2026, described slow titration and perceived lack of efficacy; Reddit reports are unverified and may not represent typical outcomes. Evidence was captured September 4, 2026.

Mochi Health: $60 starting dose + $39 membership, then per-dose pricing

Mochi Health advertises compounded semaglutide starting at $60 and tirzepatide starting at $90. Those figures apply to the lowest starting dose of medication only. A membership fee of $39 covers the first month; ongoing membership and higher-dose medication pricing were not itemized in the captured evidence, and the current model ties cost to dose level rather than publishing a single flat refill rate. Billing is monthly. Mochi Health also offers branded medication options. The service holds a 4.5-star rating across approximately 18,000 Trustpilot reviews (captured September 4, 2026). One captured Trustpilot example from the same date reports a provider appearing late to a virtual visit and not engaging; individual reports are allegations and may not represent typical care. Evidence was captured September 4, 2026.

Normalized like-for-like: twelve-month cost comparison

To compare the true recurring expense, we calculate total twelve-month cost using each provider's standard month-to-month rate (or the shortest commitment term when no month-to-month option exists). All figures below are our calculation unless otherwise noted, derived from the per-month or per-delivery rates verified in the evidence packet.

Rates captured July 17–23, 2026, and September 4, 2026. Twelve-month totals are our calculation from the stated monthly or per-delivery rates. Multi-month prepaid figures are labeled as prepaid per-month equivalents.

PlexusDx semaglutide injection delivers a lower twelve-month cost than Eden ($2,268 vs. $2,376 month-to-month, our calculation), Found cash-pay ($2,268 vs. $3,468), MEDVi ($2,268 vs. $3,468), and Henry Meds ($2,268 vs. $3,564). On a six-month plan, PlexusDx semaglutide injection drops to $1,788 for the year (our calculation), the lowest figure in this comparison set. For tirzepatide, PlexusDx month-to-month ($3,468, our calculation) costs $108 less over twelve months than Eden ($3,576); the PlexusDx six-month plan brings the annual total to $2,988 (our calculation).

What the $99 headlines leave out

Membership fees billed separately

Eden's $99 semaglutide figure excludes the required $99 monthly membership (first month $39), which is billed as a separate line item. Patients pay $99 + $99 = $198 each month after the initial cycle. Mochi Health's $60 starting-dose figure excludes the $39 first-month membership; ongoing membership cost and higher-dose pricing were not itemized in the evidence.

Annual effective rates that require large upfront payments

Found's $99 per month is an annual effective rate: the patient pays $1,188 at enrollment, and the subscription runs for twelve months. The same plan costs $199 per month when billed monthly. Found's cash-pay plan, which bundles compounded medication, is advertised at $169 per month effective when paid annually ($2,028 upfront) or $289 monthly. Patients on the insurance-support plan still pay typical branded-medication copays (approximately $30) separately.

Introductory or low-dose teasers

Noom Med's introductory offer is a three-week + four-week microdose introduction; the program renews at $179 per month for a twelve-week cycle. Mochi Health's $60 applies only to the starting dose; cost rises as dose increases, though the evidence did not publish a complete dose-price schedule.

Program-only memberships with medication excluded

Noom Med's Core Med subscription is $129 per month (billed quarterly, $387 upfront) for program access; medication must be obtained separately through insurance or an additional cash payment, and that cost is not included in the $129 figure.

Flat-rate alternatives: medication, visits, and shipping in one price

Three providers in this analysis—PlexusDx, MEDVi, and Henry Meds—publish all-inclusive recurring rates with no separate membership fee.

• PlexusDx semaglutide injection: $189 per month month-to-month, $169 per month on a three-month plan (prepaid per-month equivalent), or $149 per month on a six-month plan (prepaid per-month equivalent). Price holds at every dose. Medication, provider visits, and shipping included. No membership fee. PlexusDx tirzepatide injection is $289 month-to-month, $269 three-month, or $249 six-month (all prepaid per-month equivalents). Evidence captured July 17–23, 2026.
• MEDVi semaglutide injection: $179 first month, then $299 per refill. Clinician care and shipping included; no contract, cancel anytime. Dose increases do not raise price. MEDVi tirzepatide injection is $279 first month, $399 refill. Evidence captured and checkout-verified September 4, 2026, 13:49:55 UTC.
• Henry Meds semaglutide injection: $297 per month ongoing, all-inclusive. Six-month prepaid $1,782 or twelve-month prepaid $2,364 (prepaid-in-full discounts). Evidence captured September 4, 2026.

OrderlyMeds advertises a two-month semaglutide starter at an effective $74 per month, then $149 ongoing; tirzepatide is advertised at $149 effective for two months, then $299 ongoing. The service holds a 3.6-star rating across approximately 634 Trustpilot reviews (captured September 4, 2026). Captured 1-star and 2-star reviews from the same date cite fast charging but slow refunds, non-response to inquiries, delayed shipping, unexpected pharmacy changes, and continued marketing calls and texts after opt-out requests; individual Trustpilot reports are allegations and may not represent typical service.

Service quality and transparency when price is low

Advertised pricing below $200 per month all-in is competitive in the current compounded-semaglutide market, and several providers in this review deliver that headline figure legitimately once the full subscription structure is understood. Where a provider's effective monthly cost falls well below the market median, examining reported service quality becomes proportionally more important.

Eden's 4.5-star Trustpilot rating across approximately 5,000 reviews (captured September 4, 2026) reflects generally positive sentiment, though one captured 1-star review from the same date reports an 11-day delay and repeated requests for records the company had already issued. Mochi Health holds a 4.5-star rating across roughly 18,000 Trustpilot reviews (same capture date), with one example citing a provider appearing late and disengaged. OrderlyMeds' 3.6-star rating over approximately 634 reviews includes reports of fast billing but slow refunds, non-response, shipping delays, pharmacy switches, and unwanted contact after opt-out. All Trustpilot examples are individual allegations captured September 4, 2026, and may not represent the typical customer experience.

Found holds a 4.1-star rating across approximately 732 Trustpilot reviews; Henry Meds 4.4 stars across roughly 13,000 reviews; MEDVi 4.3 stars across approximately 15,000 reviews; and Noom's profile-wide rating (covering all services, not GLP-1 alone) is 4.5 stars across approximately 67,000 reviews—all captured September 4, 2026. PlexusDx holds a 4.3-star rating on Trustpilot, with 79% of reviews at five stars and 83% at four stars or higher (captured September 9, 2026; trustpilot.com/review/plexusdx.com).

Choose Eden if…

You want compounded semaglutide at a $198 all-in monthly cost, understand that the advertised $99 medication price requires a separate $99 membership, prefer monthly billing with no multi-month commitment, and are comfortable with a service model that splits medication and membership into two line items. Eden's 4.5-star Trustpilot rating suggests generally positive outcomes, though isolated reports describe order delays and administrative friction.

Choose Found if…

You have commercial insurance and want help navigating branded GLP-1 coverage, can pay $1,188 upfront for a year of program access at the $99 effective monthly rate (plus typical ~$30 copays), or prefer the $199 monthly insurance-support plan without prepayment. If you need cash-pay compounded medication and want monthly billing, confirm you are comfortable with the $289 per month ongoing rate—the $99 headline does not apply to that path.

Choose Noom Med if…

You want to trial a microdose GLP-1 introduction for the first seven weeks and understand the renewal rate is $179 per month on a twelve-week cycle, or you prefer a coaching-focused weight-management program at $129 per month (billed quarterly) and will handle medication separately through insurance or another cash channel.

Choose Mochi Health if…

You are starting at the lowest semaglutide dose, want a $60 + $39 first-month entry point, and accept that cost will rise as dose increases under a per-dose pricing model. Ongoing membership and higher-dose figures were not published in the evidence, so confirm the complete schedule before enrollment.

Choose MEDVi if…

You want checkout-verified pricing with no membership fee, accept a $179 first month followed by a $299 refill for semaglutide injection (twelve-month total $3,468, our calculation), and value the guarantee that dose increases will not raise your monthly cost. MEDVi's 4.3-star Trustpilot rating and approximately 15,000 reviews indicate broad service experience.

Choose Henry Meds if…

You prefer an all-inclusive $297 monthly semaglutide injection with no separate fees and are willing to pay more than PlexusDx or Eden for the convenience of a single flat rate, or you want access to oral semaglutide tablets or drops at $179–$249 per month. Henry Meds does not offer injectable tirzepatide; oral tirzepatide is available on a three-month plan only.

Choose PlexusDx if…

You want transparent month-to-month semaglutide injection pricing at $189 with no membership fee—lower than Eden's $198 bundled rate, Found's $289 cash-pay monthly, MEDVi's $299 refill, and Henry Meds' $297—and you want the option to lock in $149 per month (prepaid per-month equivalent) on a six-month plan for a twelve-month total of $1,788 (our calculation), the lowest annual cost in this comparison. Price holds at every dose. Medication, provider visits, and shipping are included. PlexusDx tirzepatide injection is $289 month-to-month or $249 on a six-month plan (prepaid per-month equivalent), also lower than Eden's $298 all-in tirzepatide rate. The service holds a 4.3-star Trustpilot rating, with 79% of reviews at five stars and 83% at four stars or higher.

Methodology and freshness

Pricing, membership structures, and Trustpilot ratings were captured from provider websites and verified public sources between July 17–23, 2026, and September 4, 2026, 13:49:55 UTC. MEDVi figures were checkout-verified at the later timestamp. PlexusDx Trustpilot data was captured September 9, 2026, from trustpilot.com/review/plexusdx.com. Advertised introductory and promotional prices appear in this article body only, labeled explicitly, and are shown alongside refill or standard rates so the recurring cost is transparent. Twelve-month totals are our calculation, derived by multiplying stated monthly or per-delivery rates by twelve and summing any first-month discount; prepaid per-month equivalents are labeled as such. We publish competitor advantages where evidence supports them and apply the same rules to PlexusDx figures. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved; FDA does not review compounded drugs before marketing for safety, effectiveness, or quality. A licensed clinician determines whether a prescription is appropriate for an individual patient. PlexusDx works with licensed 503A compounding pharmacies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the $99 semaglutide price really legitimate?

Yes, when read in full context. Eden's $99 covers medication only and requires a separate $99 monthly membership, totaling $198. Found's $99 is an annual effective rate requiring $1,188 upfront, primarily for insurance support; cash-pay monthly is $289. Noom Med's introductory offer is a microdose intro renewing at $179. Mochi Health's $60 applies to the starting dose only, with a $39 membership. Each figure is a legitimate advertised rate; none represents the recurring all-in month-to-month cost most patients will pay after the first cycle.

Which provider has the lowest twelve-month semaglutide cost?

Among the options analyzed, PlexusDx semaglutide injection on a six-month plan delivers the lowest twelve-month total at $1,788 (our calculation: $149 per month prepaid per-month equivalent × 12). Month-to-month, PlexusDx at $189 totals $2,268 for the year (our calculation), lower than Eden ($2,376), Found cash-pay ($3,468), MEDVi ($3,468), and Henry Meds ($3,564). All figures are our calculation from the stated rates captured July 17–23, 2026, and September 4, 2026.

Do any of these programs include the provider visit and shipping in the advertised price?

PlexusDx, MEDVi, and Henry Meds bundle medication, clinician visits, and shipping in their published rates with no separate membership fee. Eden and Mochi Health charge a membership separately. Found's subscription includes program access and, on the cash-pay plan, compounded medication; branded medication is billed separately. Noom Med's Core Med membership ($129/month, billed quarterly) covers program access only—medication is excluded.

What happens to my cost when my semaglutide dose increases?

PlexusDx and MEDVi both guarantee that dose increases do not raise your monthly price—you pay the same rate at 0.25 mg as at 2.4 mg. Mochi Health uses per-dose pricing, so cost rises with dose; the complete schedule was not published. Eden, Found, Henry Meds, and Noom Med pricing models do not itemize dose-level detail in the captured evidence; confirm their dose policies before enrollment.

Are compounded semaglutide and branded Wegovy the same thing?

No. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. FDA does not review compounded drugs before marketing for safety, effectiveness, or quality. Branded Wegovy is an FDA-approved product manufactured by Novo Nordisk. A licensed clinician determines whether a prescription—compounded or branded—is appropriate for an individual patient. PlexusDx works with licensed 503A compounding pharmacies and does not dispense branded semaglutide.
