The short answer

AltRx advertised compounded semaglutide at promotional rates ranging from $89/month (month-to-month) to $75/month (12-month prepaid, $900 upfront) through September 5, 2026, according to pricing captured September 4, 2026 from altrx.com. The promotion has since ended, and standard ongoing renewal rates were not disclosed at the time of capture. Individual customer reports on Trustpilot and Reddit allege annual prebilling despite selecting month-to-month options, directly conflicting with AltRx's advertised "cancel anytime" policy. Without verified post-promotion pricing or resolution of the billing-practice conflict, readers evaluating long-term semaglutide costs face material uncertainty with AltRx and should confirm current rates and billing terms at checkout before committing.

AltRx promotional semaglutide pricing (captured September 4, 2026)

AltRx offered a four-tier promotional pricing structure for compounded semaglutide injection, with all rates ending September 5, 2026. These figures appeared on altrx.com/glp1/offer-v9-fl and the main AltRx homepage:

All promotional tiers included medical oversight, medication, support, and shipping with no separate membership or service fees. AltRx advertised "cancel anytime" across all plans and stated that pricing remained the same at all semaglutide doses.

Critical limitation: These rates were promotional only, ending September 5, 2026. Standard ongoing renewal pricing after the promotion was not disclosed on the captured pages, and the promotion end date has now passed. Readers seeking current AltRx semaglutide costs must verify rates directly at checkout.

Promotional tirzepatide pricing (for context)

AltRx also advertised promotional compounded tirzepatide injection rates through September 5, 2026:

• 1-month: $149/month (billed monthly)
• 3-month: $144/month prepaid equivalent ($432 upfront)
• 6-month: $130/month prepaid equivalent ($780 upfront)
• 12-month: $125/month prepaid equivalent ($1,500 upfront)

These figures carried the same promotional deadline and disclosure gaps as the semaglutide rates.

Billing-practice conflict: advertised terms vs. customer reports

AltRx's promotional pages stated "cancel anytime" for all plan lengths, including the month-to-month option. However, individual customer reports captured on Trustpilot (September 4, 2026) and Reddit allege that AltRx billed the full annual amount upfront despite the customer selecting a month-to-month plan at checkout. One captured 1-star Trustpilot review described receiving an annual charge when a monthly subscription was intended. A Reddit thread reported a similar experience.

These are individual allegations, not verified facts, but they conflict directly with the advertised month-to-month billing structure. The nature of the conflict—upfront annual billing vs. advertised monthly billing—is material for readers evaluating commitment and cancellation flexibility. We did not capture AltRx's terms of service, official clarification, or broader review patterns that would resolve the conflict. Readers considering AltRx should verify billing terms explicitly before completing checkout and review their payment authorization carefully.

Comparing AltRx promotional rates to PlexusDx standard pricing

PlexusDx publishes ongoing standard rates for compounded semaglutide injection with no promotional expiration dates. The following comparison uses AltRx's captured promotional rates (which have now expired and may no longer be available) against PlexusDx's current standard pricing:

During the promotional window, AltRx's advertised semaglutide rates were substantially lower than PlexusDx's standard pricing across all plan lengths. The 12-month promotional total ranged from $900 (12-month prepaid) to $1,068 (month-to-month billed monthly), compared to PlexusDx's $1,788 (6-month prepaid) to $2,268 (month-to-month). However, these AltRx figures were time-limited promotional rates with an undisclosed post-promotion price, while PlexusDx rates are published standard ongoing prices with no expiration.

Without knowing AltRx's current standard rates after September 5, 2026, a prospective customer cannot reliably project long-term semaglutide costs with AltRx or compare true ongoing value.

What's included in AltRx pricing (as advertised)

According to the captured promotional pages, AltRx's semaglutide pricing included:

• Initial medical consultation
• Compounded semaglutide medication (all doses at the same price)
• Ongoing medical oversight and support
• Shipping
• No separate membership or subscription fees

AltRx also lists brand-name Wegovy, Ozempic, and Zepbound on its site, though pricing for those products was not captured in this analysis.

Renewal and cancellation: advertised policy vs. reported experience

AltRx's promotional materials stated "cancel anytime" for all plan tiers, including the month-to-month option. In theory, this means a customer on the 1-month plan could stop at any renewal without penalty, and customers on prepaid plans could decline to renew at the end of the prepaid term.

However, the captured customer reports alleging upfront annual billing despite month-to-month selection directly contradict this policy. If a customer is charged $900–$1,068 upfront when they intended to pay $89 monthly, "cancel anytime" flexibility is effectively nullified until the prepaid term expires or a refund is negotiated. We did not capture AltRx's refund policy or terms governing prepaid plan cancellations.

Readers should confirm the following before purchase:

• The exact amount that will be charged at checkout
• Whether the charge is a single month or a longer prepaid term
• The cancellation process and any refund eligibility for prepaid amounts
• Whether the current rate is promotional and, if so, what the renewal rate will be

Where PlexusDx fits for semaglutide seekers

PlexusDx may suit readers who prioritize transparent, published ongoing pricing with no promotional deadlines or billing conflicts. Every PlexusDx plan states its standard rate upfront: $189/month for month-to-month compounded semaglutide injection, $169/month prepaid equivalent for 3-month, and $149/month prepaid equivalent for 6-month. These are the rates a licensed provider quotes during intake, the rates billed at checkout, and the rates that apply at every renewal—no introductory period, no undisclosed post-promotion increase.

PlexusDx's month-to-month semaglutide plan is billed monthly with no prepaid commitment. The 3-month plan requires $507 upfront; the 6-month plan requires $894 upfront. Shipping, provider consultations, and dose adjustments are included; there are no separate membership or service fees. All PlexusDx compounded medications are prepared by licensed 503A compounding pharmacies and prescribed by U.S.-licensed clinicians who review individual patient eligibility.

PlexusDx's standard semaglutide pricing is higher than AltRx's expired promotional rates but lower than many competing telehealth providers' ongoing pricing. A customer who values stable, predictable costs and straightforward monthly billing may find PlexusDx's model easier to plan around than a promotional offer with undisclosed renewal terms.
