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

The short answer

AltRx advertised promotional compounded semaglutide at $89/month and tirzepatide at $149/month through September 5, 2026 (captured September 4, 2026; altrx.com). Those rates have expired and AltRx's standard ongoing pricing is not publicly documented. When a program's standard rates are unknown and individual customer reports on Trustpilot and Reddit allege billing practices inconsistent with advertised "cancel anytime" terms, confirming current pricing and contract terms at checkout becomes essential before enrollment.

Seven checkout-verified telehealth GLP-1 programs publish transparent ongoing rates with no promotional expiration: PlexusDx ($189/month semaglutide, $289/month tirzepatide month-to-month; plexusdx.com, captured September 12, 2026), Eden ($198/month semaglutide all-in including membership, $298/month tirzepatide; captured July 2026), Peak Wellness ($249/month semaglutide, $349/month tirzepatide; captured July 2026), Found ($289/month semaglutide cash-pay month-to-month; captured July 2026), Henry Meds ($297/month semaglutide injection; captured July 2026), Embody ($299/month semaglutide; captured July 2026), and TrimRx ($299/month semaglutide ongoing rate verified at checkout, advertised $199/month first order; captured July 2026). Each includes medical oversight, compounded medication, and shipping; PlexusDx, Embody, Henry Meds, Peak Wellness, and TrimRx carry no separate membership fee, while Eden requires a $99/month membership on top of medication cost and Found's cash track has no membership.

At-a-glance comparison: verified ongoing rates

All programs offer compounded (not FDA-approved) GLP-1 medications. Rates include medication and shipping; medical oversight included. MTM = month-to-month.

Why AltRx's standard pricing matters—and why it's missing

AltRx promoted compounded semaglutide injection at $89/month (month-to-month), $85/month prepaid (3-month, $255 upfront), $80/month prepaid (6-month, $480 upfront), and $75/month prepaid (12-month, $900 upfront) through a promotional grid that expired September 5, 2026 (altrx.com, captured September 4, 2026). Compounded tirzepatide injection was promoted at $149/month (month-to-month), $144/month prepaid (3-month, $432 upfront), $130/month prepaid (6-month, $780 upfront), and $125/month prepaid (12-month, $1,500 upfront) under the same promotion.

Those promotional rates represented the lowest advertised compounded GLP-1 pricing captured in our July–September 2026 verification cycle—but they expired before this article's publication date, and AltRx's website does not display post-promotion standard pricing. Our research team completed AltRx's intake on September 4, 2026, verified the promotional grid, but did not submit payment; no email or checkout screen disclosed what the ongoing rate would be after September 5, 2026.

A September 4, 2026 capture of AltRx's Trustpilot profile (trustpilot.com/review/altrx.com) found the profile active but rating and review volume were not recorded in this verification pass. One captured 1-star Trustpilot review alleged a full annual prebill despite the customer reporting they selected month-to-month; a Reddit thread captured the same date (reddit.com/r/tirzepatidecompound/comments/1twpy9j/my_altrx_experience/) contained a similar allegation. These are individual customer reports, not verified facts, but they conflict with AltRx's advertised "cancel anytime" claim (altrx.com, captured September 4, 2026).

When promotional pricing expires, standard rates are undisclosed, and individual reports raise billing questions, confirming current pricing, contract terms, cancellation policy, and whether prepayment is required becomes essential before enrollment. We recommend contacting AltRx directly and reviewing checkout screens carefully if you are considering this program.

Verified alternatives: transparent ongoing rates and service models

Seven telehealth GLP-1 programs publish ongoing rates verified at advertised pricing pages or checkout between July 17 and September 12, 2026. Each offers compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide (not FDA-approved), medical oversight, and home delivery. Membership models, prepayment requirements, and tirzepatide formulation vary; these differences affect total cost and flexibility.

PlexusDx: month-to-month or commitment pricing, no membership

PlexusDx offers compounded semaglutide injection at $189/month (month-to-month), $169/month (3-month commitment), or $149/month (6-month commitment); compounded tirzepatide injection at $289/month (month-to-month), $269/month (3-month commitment), or $249/month (6-month commitment) (plexusdx.com, captured September 12, 2026). Every plan includes the online provider visit, prescription, compounded medication at any dose, follow-up support, and shipping; there is no separate membership fee, no lab fee, and no charge until a licensed provider approves the prescription. The same per-month rate applies at every dose—2.5 mg semaglutide costs the same as 2 mg, and 2.5 mg tirzepatide costs the same as 15 mg.

PlexusDx holds a 4.3-star rating on Trustpilot, with 79% of reviews at five stars and 83% at four stars or higher (trustpilot.com/review/plexusdx.com, captured September 9, 2026).

Eden: all-in pricing with required membership

Eden advertises compounded medication at $99/month, but a $99/month membership is required, bringing the total to $198/month for semaglutide or $298/month for tirzepatide (captured July 2026). The membership includes health coaching, which may appeal to patients seeking structured behavioral support alongside medication; patients who prefer medication-only models will pay twice the advertised figure once membership is added.

Peak Wellness: mid-tier month-to-month, lower prepaid rates available

Peak Wellness lists compounded semaglutide at $249/month and tirzepatide at $349/month on month-to-month plans (captured July 2026). The program also offers lower per-month rates on 6-month prepaid plans (our research captured these options but did not verify the exact prepaid figures). Peak Wellness carries no separate membership fee.

Found: cash-pay month-to-month or 12-month prepaid

Found's cash-pay track begins at $289/month for compounded semaglutide (month-to-month) and $359/month for tirzepatide (captured July 2026). A 12-month prepaid option reduces the per-month figure to $169/month (our calculation: prepaid plan total divided by 12). Found also offers an insurance track with a 12-month prepaid rate advertised from $99/month, but that rate is not comparable to cash pricing and requires insurance qualification. The cash month-to-month track offers the flexibility to stop without forfeiting a prepaid balance.

Henry Meds: semaglutide injection only

Henry Meds offers compounded semaglutide injection at $297/month (captured July 2026). Tirzepatide is available only as an oral dissolving tablet, not injection; patients seeking tirzepatide injection will need to consider another program. Henry Meds carries no membership fee and the same dose-agnostic pricing model (every semaglutide dose costs $297/month).

TrimRx: advertised first-order discount, higher ongoing rate

TrimRx advertises compounded semaglutide at $199/month and tirzepatide at $349/month, but checkout verification (captured July 2026) found ongoing rates of $299/month for semaglutide and $399/month for tirzepatide after the first order. The advertised figure is a first-order introductory rate; patients comparing TrimRx should use the $299/$399 ongoing figures for 12-month cost planning. TrimRx also offers lower per-month rates on 3-, 6-, and 12-month prepaid plans. No separate membership fee applies.

Embody: flat published rate, no promotional tiers

Embody publishes a straightforward $299/month for compounded semaglutide and $349/month for compounded tirzepatide (captured July 2026). The same price applies at every dose, there is no membership fee, and the rate does not vary by commitment length. Patients who prefer one predictable figure without introductory discounts or prepayment options may find this model simpler to budget.

12-month cost comparison: ongoing rates only

Comparing the total cost of 12 months of month-to-month treatment isolates the programs that maintain flexibility without requiring upfront payment. The table below uses verified ongoing rates (not promotional or first-order pricing) captured July–September 2026. All calculations are ours.

All figures are our calculation. MTM = month-to-month ongoing rate, not introductory or promotional pricing. AltRx promotional rates expired September 5, 2026; standard ongoing rates are not publicly documented.

Among verified programs, PlexusDx at $2,268/year for semaglutide and $3,468/year for tirzepatide month-to-month offers the lowest 12-month cost, followed by Eden at $2,376/year semaglutide and $3,576/year tirzepatide (Eden's total includes required $99/month membership). Peak Wellness, Found, Henry Meds, Embody, and TrimRx range from $2,988/year to $4,788/year depending on compound and plan.

Prepaid options: trading flexibility for lower per-month rates

Several programs reduce the per-month cost when you prepay for 3, 6, or 12 months. PlexusDx drops semaglutide to $149/month on a 6-month commitment ($1,788/year, our calculation) and tirzepatide to $249/month ($2,988/year). Found's 12-month prepaid cash plan brings semaglutide to $169/month prepaid. Peak Wellness and TrimRx also offer prepaid tiers, though our research did not verify every prepaid figure for those programs.

AltRx's expired promotional grid included prepaid options inferred from multi-month presentation (3-month $255 upfront for semaglutide, 6-month $480, 12-month $900; 3-month $432 upfront for tirzepatide, 6-month $780, 12-month $1,500), but whether those tiers remain available under standard pricing is unknown. If a program requires prepayment, confirm the cancellation and refund policy before committing—individual reports on Trustpilot and Reddit alleged AltRx billed a full annual amount despite month-to-month selection, though these are unverified customer allegations rather than documented contract terms.

What the programs have in common

Every program in this comparison dispenses compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide—not FDA-approved branded Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Zepbound. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved; the 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. All programs include an online provider evaluation, prescription if approved, medication shipped to your home, and some level of follow-up support. None guarantees eligibility, dose, or results.

PlexusDx works with licensed 503A compounding pharmacies. Other programs' pharmacy partnerships were not verified in this research cycle.

Decision factors: pricing transparency, contract clarity, and review history

Three factors separate the programs in this comparison: whether ongoing pricing is published and verified, whether month-to-month or prepaid commitment is required, and whether independent review evidence supports reliable service delivery.

Pricing transparency: PlexusDx, Eden, Peak Wellness, Found, Henry Meds, Embody, and TrimRx publish ongoing rates verified at pricing pages or checkout (July–September 2026). AltRx's promotional rates expired September 5, 2026, and standard pricing is not documented. Programs that disclose the refill rate before you submit payment let you budget accurately; programs that show only a promotional or first-order rate require you to ask what happens at renewal.

Contract and cancellation: Month-to-month plans let you stop treatment or switch providers without forfeiting a prepaid balance. Prepaid 3-, 6-, or 12-month plans lower the per-month cost but require upfront payment; confirm refund terms if your provider changes your dose, discontinues the medication, or you experience intolerable side effects. Individual customer reports alleged unexpected billing on AltRx despite advertised "cancel anytime" terms—these are allegations, not verified facts, but they highlight the importance of reviewing checkout screens and email confirmations for recurring-charge language and cancellation procedures before finalizing enrollment.

Review record: PlexusDx holds a 4.3-star Trustpilot rating with 79% five-star reviews (captured September 9, 2026). AltRx's Trustpilot profile was captured September 4, 2026, but rating and volume were not recorded; one 1-star review and one Reddit thread alleged billing inconsistent with selected plan terms. Review history on Eden, Peak Wellness, Found, Henry Meds, Embody, and TrimRx was not verified in this research cycle. Independent review platforms provide one signal of service consistency; absence of verified reviews is not evidence of poor service, but presence of negative themes—especially around billing or support responsiveness—warrants additional diligence.

Choose PlexusDx if…

You want the lowest verified 12-month month-to-month cost among the programs in this comparison ($2,268/year for semaglutide, $3,468/year for tirzepatide), dose-agnostic pricing (2.5 mg and 2 mg cost the same), no separate membership fee, and a Trustpilot rating of 4.3 stars with 83% of reviews at four stars or higher. You value the option to commit to 3 or 6 months for a lower per-month rate ($149/month semaglutide on 6-month, $249/month tirzepatide) without prepaying an annual amount upfront. You prefer a program that publishes every cost component—visit, medication, labs, shipping—in a single per-month figure with no hidden line items at checkout.

Choose Eden if…

You want structured health coaching alongside medication and are comfortable with a required $99/month membership on top of the $99/month medication cost (total $198/month semaglutide, $298/month tirzepatide). Eden's all-in model suits patients who value behavioral support and prefer a program that bundles coaching into the monthly fee rather than offering it as an optional add-on.

Choose Peak Wellness if…

You prefer a mid-tier month-to-month rate ($249/month semaglutide, $349/month tirzepatide) with the option to reduce cost through a prepaid plan, and you do not require a separate membership or coaching component. Peak Wellness offers straightforward pricing without introductory discounts or promotional tiers that expire.

Choose Found if…

You are willing to prepay 12 months upfront to access the $169/month prepaid rate for semaglutide (our calculation), or you prefer Found's cash month-to-month rate of $289/month semaglutide or $359/month tirzepatide and are comfortable with that cost tier. Found's insurance track may lower cost for qualifying patients, but the $99/month advertised floor is a 12-month prepaid rate on the insurance track and is not comparable to cash pricing.

Choose Henry Meds if…

You need compounded semaglutide injection only (tirzepatide injection is not offered; tirzepatide is available as an oral dissolving tablet), you are comfortable with a $297/month rate, and you prefer a no-membership model with dose-agnostic pricing.

Choose Embody if…

You value a single published rate with no introductory discounts, no prepaid tiers, and no membership fees—$299/month semaglutide or $349/month tirzepatide regardless of dose or commitment length. Embody's flat pricing model simplifies budgeting for patients who prefer predictability over variable promotional rates.

Choose TrimRx if…

You understand the advertised $199 semaglutide / $349 tirzepatide figures are first-order introductory rates and the ongoing cost is $299/month semaglutide or $399/month tirzepatide (verified at checkout, captured July 2026), and you are willing to accept that higher refill rate or commit to a prepaid plan to reduce the per-month cost. TrimRx's introductory pricing lowers the first month's expense but the ongoing rate is higher than PlexusDx, Eden, and Peak Wellness.

AltRx: verify current pricing and contract terms before enrollment

AltRx's promotional compounded semaglutide ($89/month month-to-month) and tirzepatide ($149/month month-to-month) expired September 5, 2026, and the program's standard ongoing rates are not publicly documented. Individual customer reports on Trustpilot (trustpilot.com/review/altrx.com, captured September 4, 2026) and Reddit (reddit.com/r/tirzepatidecompound/comments/1twpy9j/my_altrx_experience/, captured September 4, 2026) alleged a full annual prebill despite selecting month-to-month; these are individual allegations, not verified contract facts, but they conflict with AltRx's advertised "cancel anytime" claim.

If you are considering AltRx, confirm the current per-month rate, whether prepayment is required, what amount will be charged at enrollment and at each renewal, and the cancellation and refund policy. Request written confirmation of those terms before submitting payment. When a program's standard pricing is unknown and individual reports raise billing questions, verifying terms at checkout is the only way to avoid unexpected charges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is AltRx's standard pricing unavailable?

AltRx advertised promotional compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide rates through September 5, 2026 (captured September 4, 2026). The promotion expired before publication and AltRx's website does not display post-promotion standard pricing. Our intake verification did not reveal ongoing rates. We recommend contacting AltRx directly or reviewing checkout screens carefully to confirm current cost before enrollment.

What did the Trustpilot and Reddit reports allege about AltRx billing?

One captured 1-star Trustpilot review (trustpilot.com/review/altrx.com, September 4, 2026) and one Reddit thread (reddit.com/r/tirzepatidecompound/comments/1twpy9j/my_altrx_experience/, September 4, 2026) alleged a full annual prebill despite the customer reporting they selected month-to-month. These are individual customer allegations, not verified contract facts. AltRx's site advertised "cancel anytime." Confirm billing terms, cancellation policy, and recurring-charge amounts at checkout before finalizing enrollment.

Which program offers the lowest verified 12-month month-to-month cost?

Among programs with verified ongoing rates, PlexusDx offers the lowest 12-month month-to-month cost: $2,268/year for compounded semaglutide ($189/month × 12) and $3,468/year for compounded tirzepatide ($289/month × 12). Eden follows at $2,376/year semaglutide and $3,576/year tirzepatide (both include required $99/month membership). All calculations are ours; figures captured July–September 2026.

Are compounded GLP-1 medications FDA-approved?

No. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. The 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. Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not the same as branded Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Zepbound.

How do prepaid plans reduce cost and what are the trade-offs?

Prepaid 3-, 6-, or 12-month plans lower the per-month cost in exchange for upfront payment. PlexusDx reduces semaglutide to $149/month on a 6-month commitment ($1,788/year, our calculation) and tirzepatide to $249/month ($2,988/year). The trade-off is loss of month-to-month flexibility; confirm refund terms if your provider changes your dose, discontinues medication, or you experience intolerable side effects before committing to a prepaid plan.
