The short answer

AltRx offers compounded semaglutide injections at $89 per month when billed monthly, with prepaid tiers that lower the effective rate to $85/month (3-month prepaid, $255 upfront), $80/month (6-month prepaid, $480 upfront), and $75/month (12-month prepaid, $900 upfront). All tiers include the provider consult, medication at any dose, and shipping; no separate membership or visit fees apply. The $75 figure is our calculation of the effective monthly rate when you prepay for a full year; it is not a recurring monthly bill. AltRx holds the pricing advantage over PlexusDx on semaglutide across every term, but one Trustpilot review and one Reddit anecdote allege unexpected annual prebilling despite selecting month-to-month at checkout—claims that contradict AltRx's advertised "cancel anytime" policy. Confirm your billing schedule and refund terms at checkout. All pricing was captured September 4, 2026, and the promotional rates displayed on AltRx's offer page are advertised to end September 5, 2026.

AltRx semaglutide plan tiers at a glance

All rates captured September 4, 2026, from AltRx's promotional offer page. Promotional pricing advertised to end September 5, 2026. Provider consult, medication at any dose, and shipping included; no separate membership fees.

Breaking down the $75 per month claim

AltRx's $75 per month figure is the effective monthly cost when you prepay $900 for a 12-month supply of compounded semaglutide injections. You pay $900 once, upfront, at enrollment, and receive a year of medication. Divide $900 by 12 months and the arithmetic yields $75 per month—but that $75 is our calculation, not a recurring monthly charge. If you select the 12-month prepaid tier, your credit card is charged $900 on day one. The month-to-month rate, by contrast, is $89 billed every 30 days, with no multi-month commitment advertised.

The same prepayment structure applies to AltRx's other tiers: the 3-month plan charges $255 upfront ($85/month effective when you divide $255 by three); the 6-month plan charges $480 upfront ($80/month effective). Every prepaid tier delivers a lower effective monthly rate than the $89 month-to-month option, and the discount scales with the length of commitment. Over 12 months, the month-to-month path costs $1,068 total, while the 12-month prepaid tier costs $900 total—a $168 annual saving, or $14 per month.

AltRx vs PlexusDx: semaglutide injection pricing

AltRx pricing captured September 4, 2026; PlexusDx pricing captured September 4, 2026. All 12-month totals and effective monthly rates labeled "prepaid equivalent" for AltRx are our calculations based on advertised upfront payments. PlexusDx month-to-month and commitment pricing billed monthly; AltRx prepaid tiers billed upfront at enrollment.

AltRx holds the price advantage across every term. The month-to-month rate is $100 per month—$1,200 per year—lower than PlexusDx. The 12-month prepaid tier widens the gap to $888 per year when compared with PlexusDx's 6-month commitment rate of $149 per month. PlexusDx does not currently offer a 12-month tier, so the fairest like-for-like comparison pairs AltRx's 6-month prepaid ($80/month effective, $960/year) against PlexusDx's 6-month commitment ($149/month, $1,788/year)—an $828 annual difference in AltRx's favor.

AltRx tirzepatide pricing for context

AltRx also offers compounded tirzepatide injections under the same four-tier structure. The month-to-month rate is $149 per month; the 3-month prepaid tier is $144 per month equivalent ($432 upfront); the 6-month prepaid tier is $130 per month equivalent ($780 upfront); and the 12-month prepaid tier is $125 per month equivalent ($1,500 upfront). Over 12 months, the month-to-month path totals $1,788, while the 12-month prepaid tier totals $1,500—a $288 annual saving. Compared with PlexusDx tirzepatide month-to-month ($289/month, $3,468/year), AltRx's month-to-month tirzepatide is $140 per month—$1,680 per year—lower. The pricing advantage on tirzepatide mirrors the semaglutide pattern: AltRx undercuts PlexusDx on every term.

What the upfront commitment buys—and what it risks

Prepaying for six or twelve months locks in the lower effective rate and eliminates the friction of monthly rebilling. If you remain on the same medication and dose for the full term, you capture the advertised savings in full. The risk is change: if your provider adjusts your medication, if you experience intolerable side effects, or if your weight-loss goals shift and you choose to stop treatment early, you have already paid for months you will not use. AltRx advertises "cancel anytime" on its promotional materials, but refund policies for prepaid medication periods are not detailed in the captured evidence. Before selecting a multi-month tier, confirm in writing whether unused months are refundable, how cancellation works mid-term, and what happens if your provider changes your prescription.

Reported billing concerns

One Trustpilot review, captured September 4, 2026, alleges that the reviewer selected month-to-month billing at checkout but was charged the full annual amount upfront. One Reddit anecdote, also captured September 4, 2026, echoes the same allegation. Both are individual reports and paraphrased here; they are not verified facts and may not represent typical billing outcomes. AltRx's advertised terms state that the month-to-month plan bills $89 monthly and that prepaid tiers require upfront payment of the stated amounts ($255, $480, or $900). The reported experiences contradict the advertised terms. We recommend reviewing your cart total, payment authorization, and confirmation email carefully at checkout, and capturing a screenshot of the billing schedule you select before submitting payment. If you observe a discrepancy between the plan you chose and the charge that posts, contact AltRx support immediately and dispute the charge with your card issuer if the issue is not resolved promptly.

Service and review records

AltRx maintains a Trustpilot profile at trustpilot.com/review/altrx.com; aggregate rating and review volume were not captured in this research pass. The billing allegation described above appears in at least one recent Trustpilot review and one Reddit thread, but we do not know how common these reports are or whether they reflect policy, technical error, or isolated incidents. PlexusDx holds a 4.2-star rating on Trustpilot, with 76% of reviews at five stars and 81% at four stars or higher, captured September 4, 2026. No pattern of unexpected billing has been reported in PlexusDx's public review record.
