PlexusDx publishes this comparison and is one of the providers discussed. We use the same evidence rules for our own program and competing programs.

Compounded medication disclosure: 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.

The short answer

AltRx advertises promotional cash-pay rates for compounded GLP-1 injections through September 5, 2026: month-to-month billing at $89/month for semaglutide and $149/month for tirzepatide, with steeper prepaid discounts at longer commitment tiers (evidence captured September 4, 2026; altrx.com). Those promotional rates are $100–$140/month lower than PlexusDx's month-to-month pricing, and AltRx's 12-month prepaid semaglutide tier ($900 upfront, $75/month equivalent) costs $74/month less than PlexusDx's 6-month semaglutide rate. However, individual reports on Trustpilot and Reddit allege that some patients who selected monthly billing were charged the full annual amount upfront—a claim that conflicts with the advertised cancel-anytime terms. We have no evidence of AltRx's standard rates after the promotion ends, so anyone considering AltRx should confirm current pricing and billing behavior at checkout.

At-a-glance comparison

AltRx pricing captured September 4, 2026 (altrx.com); promotional rates stated to end September 5, 2026. PlexusDx rates are standard, non-promotional.

AltRx promotional pricing breakdown

AltRx's promotional pricing offers four commitment tiers for each compound, with all rates labeled to expire September 5, 2026 (captured September 4, 2026; altrx.com):

Compounded semaglutide injection

• Month-to-month: $89/month, $89 billed monthly
• 3-month prepaid: $85/month equivalent, $255 upfront
• 6-month prepaid: $80/month equivalent, $480 upfront
• 12-month prepaid: $75/month equivalent, $900 upfront

Compounded tirzepatide injection

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

AltRx states that all four tiers include medical oversight, medication, shipping, and support, with no separate membership fee. The website also advertises "cancel anytime" for the month-to-month option. However, individual reports on Trustpilot and Reddit allege that some patients who selected month-to-month billing were charged the full annual amount at the outset—a claim that conflicts with the cancel-anytime representation (captured September 4, 2026; trustpilot.com and reddit.com). We advise confirming billing terms and charge timing at checkout.

Because all captured rates are labeled promotional and set to expire September 5, 2026, we have no evidence of AltRx's standard or refill pricing. Anyone reviewing AltRx should check the website for current rates.

12-month cost comparison: promotional AltRx vs. standard PlexusDx

Even though AltRx's figures are promotional, a like-for-like view shows the economic gap over twelve months. The table below uses advertised month-to-month billing for AltRx's monthly tier; prepaid figures are the stated upfront amounts multiplied to reach twelve months. PlexusDx figures are standard, non-promotional rates.

All 12-month totals are our calculation. AltRx promotional rates captured September 4, 2026 and stated to expire September 5, 2026. PlexusDx does not offer a 12-month prepaid tier; we use the 6-month per-month rate × 12 for comparison.

What the promotional price includes

AltRx states that each tier—month-to-month and prepaid—bundles medical oversight, compounded medication (semaglutide or tirzepatide injection), support, and shipping into the single monthly or upfront fee. There is no separate membership charge, and the website advertises that the same rate applies at all doses (captured September 4, 2026; altrx.com).

The promotional pricing is scheduled to end September 5, 2026. We have no evidence of standard rates after that date, so prospective patients should check the website for current pricing.

The billing-behavior report

AltRx's website advertises a "cancel anytime" month-to-month option at $89/month for semaglutide and $149/month for tirzepatide. However, a Trustpilot review (one star) and a Reddit thread comment both allege that the reviewer was charged the full twelve-month amount upfront despite selecting monthly billing (captured September 4, 2026). That claim conflicts with the advertised cancel-anytime terms and month-to-month billing structure.

We have only individual anecdotal reports—not aggregate rating data or response from AltRx—so we cannot determine how widespread the alleged behavior is. We advise anyone considering AltRx to confirm billing terms, charge timing, and cancellation policy at checkout and to review the terms of service before submitting payment information.

Choose AltRx (promotional tier) if…

• You are enrolling before the September 5, 2026 promotion deadline and confirm that promotional rates are still honored.
• You have verified at checkout that the month-to-month option bills monthly (not annually in advance) and that cancellation terms match your expectations.
• You want the lowest available cash-pay rate for compounded GLP-1 injections and are comfortable with the uncertainty around post-promotion pricing.
• You are willing to prepay six or twelve months to lock in a per-month equivalent below $80 for semaglutide or $130 for tirzepatide, and you have reviewed the refund or cancellation terms for prepaid plans.

Where PlexusDx fits

PlexusDx uses standard, non-promotional pricing: compounded semaglutide injection costs $189/month on month-to-month, $169/month on a 3-month plan, and $149/month on a 6-month plan. Compounded tirzepatide injection costs $289/month month-to-month, $269/month on a 3-month plan, and $249/month on a 6-month plan. Those rates are higher than AltRx's promotional tiers but are not subject to a promotional deadline, and PlexusDx does not require twelve-month prepayment to access the lowest per-month rate—the 6-month plan is the longest commitment tier. Month-to-month plans can be paused or canceled without forfeiting prepaid months.

Each PlexusDx plan includes the initial provider consultation, prescription, compounded medication shipped to your door, follow-up check-ins, lab panels when clinically indicated, and ongoing support. There is no separate membership fee, no charge for dose adjustments, and no hidden lab or visit fees.

Choose PlexusDx if you want transparent, non-promotional pricing with no annual commitment requirement, or if you prefer a 6-month maximum prepayment tier over a 12-month lock-in. 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).

Methodology and freshness

We captured AltRx's promotional pricing, plan tiers, inclusions, and promotional end date by completing the intake flow and reviewing the checkout pages on September 4, 2026. All AltRx figures are labeled promotional and stated to expire September 5, 2026; we have no evidence of standard or refill rates. The billing-behavior allegation was captured from a Trustpilot review and a Reddit thread on the same date. PlexusDx pricing is our own standard, non-promotional rate card. The 12-month cost calculations are our own arithmetic: advertised monthly rates × 12, or stated prepaid amounts × the number of cycles required to reach twelve months. We advise checking altrx.com for current pricing and billing terms.
