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

ShedRx offers compounded tirzepatide injection at $299/month (month-to-month), $269/month (six-month commitment), or $239/month (twelve-month commitment), and oral GLP-1 lozenges at $199/month. Seven verified alternatives operate between $189/month and $399/month for injectable semaglutide or tirzepatide, with structures spanning flat month-to-month billing, membership requirements, and prepaid multi-month plans. PlexusDx tirzepatide injection runs $289/month (month-to-month), $269/month (three-month plan), and $249/month (six-month plan)—$10/month below ShedRx on monthly plans and $20/month below on six-month commitments. Eden pairs $99 medication with a mandatory $99/month membership ($198 all-in for semaglutide). TrimRx lists $199 semaglutide but bills $299/month at checkout. Embody, Found, Henry Meds, and Peak Wellness each publish distinct pricing and commitment models. Your decision turns on which compound you need, whether you prefer flexibility or prepaid savings, and how each provider's billing structure aligns with your budget over twelve months.

All figures captured July–September 2026.

Like-for-like pricing: monthly plans

When you compare month-to-month plans for injectable tirzepatide, ShedRx bills $299/month and PlexusDx bills $289/month—a $10/month difference in PlexusDx's favor (our calculation: $120 over twelve months). Embody and Peak Wellness both charge $349/month for tirzepatide on month-to-month terms, $50–$60 above ShedRx. Found bills $359/month and TrimRx $399/month at checkout. For injectable semaglutide, PlexusDx charges $189/month (month-to-month); Eden charges $198/month all-in ($99 medication plus $99 membership); Peak Wellness $249/month; Found and Embody each $289–$299/month; Henry Meds $297/month; and TrimRx $299/month at checkout despite a $199 advertised figure. ShedRx semaglutide pricing remains unverified: the lowest advertised figure is $149, but our research documented conflicting teaser prices across pages (captured September 4, 2026) and no standard monthly injection rate at checkout; oral GLP-1 lozenges are listed at $199/month. Always confirm the final monthly rate and medication formulation in your cart before committing.

Multi-month commitments and prepaid plans

ShedRx offers $269/month on a six-month commitment and $239/month on a twelve-month commitment for tirzepatide injection (captured September 4, 2026). PlexusDx offers $269/month on a three-month plan and $249/month on a six-month plan—the same $269 rate as ShedRx's six-month tier but at a shorter three-month term, and $20/month less at the six-month level. Found publishes a twelve-month prepaid cash-pay plan starting at $169/month for semaglutide, paid upfront (captured July 17–23, 2026), compared with $289/month month-to-month. TrimRx and Peak Wellness both offer lower per-month rates on three-, six-, and twelve-month plans charged upfront. Prepaid plans shift the entire commitment cost to month one; if your clinical situation changes or you discontinue early, that prepayment is typically non-refundable. Month-to-month and rolling multi-month plans preserve flexibility at a higher per-month rate.

Twelve-month cost calculations

The table below shows the total cost over twelve months for each provider's month-to-month plan (our calculations, derived from the published monthly rates captured July–September 2026).

All twelve-month totals are our calculations, derived from the published month-to-month rates. Henry Meds does not publish a monthly rate for injectable tirzepatide. ShedRx semaglutide injection rate not verified; oral lozenges are $199/month.

Oral GLP-1 options

ShedRx offers oral GLP-1 lozenges at $199/month; product specifics are clinician-dependent (captured September 4, 2026). PlexusDx oral semaglutide capsules run $289/month (month-to-month), $269/month (three-month plan), and $249/month (six-month plan); oral tirzepatide capsules are $349/month (month-to-month), $299/month (three-month plan), and $279/month (six-month plan). Henry Meds lists an oral tirzepatide dissolving tablet but does not publish a monthly rate. Oral bioavailability and dose requirements differ from subcutaneous injections; a licensed clinician determines which formulation is appropriate for your situation. If you prefer to avoid injections and your provider recommends an oral preparation, compare the verified monthly cost, formulation details, and ongoing support at checkout.

Decision factors beyond monthly price

Billing predictability: Flat monthly billing (PlexusDx, Embody, Henry Meds, Peak Wellness on month-to-month) means the same charge recurs each cycle regardless of dose escalation. ShedRx, Found, and TrimRx also publish single-rate models on their monthly plans. Eden's two-part structure—$99 medication plus $99 membership—requires adding both line items to calculate your all-in monthly spend.

Dose policy: PlexusDx and Embody each state same-price-at-every-dose policies, so titration from starting dose to maintenance dose does not trigger a higher bill. Confirm dose-related pricing at intake for every other provider.

Membership fees: Most programs charge no separate membership. Eden requires a $99/month membership on top of the $99 medication fee. If a provider's published rate looks materially lower than the field, verify whether a membership, consultation, lab, or shipping fee appears at checkout.

Commitment length: Month-to-month plans let you pause or cancel without losing prepaid funds; multi-month commitments lock in a lower per-month rate but shift refund risk to you if your clinical picture changes. A six-month commitment saves $30–$50/month across several programs but requires confidence in twelve to twenty-four weeks of continued treatment.

Formulation and route: All programs in this comparison dispense compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide. 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. If you require branded Wegovy, Zepbound, Saxenda, or Mounjaro, verify formulary availability and insurance coordination separately; ShedRx lists branded options alongside compounded products, and other programs may accommodate brand requests where supply and coverage allow.

Advertised versus checkout rates: TrimRx advertises $199 semaglutide but our July 2026 checkout verification documented $299/month ongoing billing. ShedRx pages show conflicting semaglutide teaser prices as low as $149, but we captured no verified monthly injection rate at checkout (oral lozenges verified at $199/month). Always proceed through intake and view the final cart before assuming an advertised rate will carry through.

Where PlexusDx fits

PlexusDx offers injectable semaglutide at $189/month (month-to-month), $169/month (three-month plan), and $149/month (six-month plan)—the lowest verified month-to-month semaglutide rate in this comparison. Injectable tirzepatide runs $289/month (month-to-month), $269/month (three-month plan), and $249/month (six-month plan), $10/month below ShedRx's $299 monthly rate and $20/month below ShedRx's six-month commitment rate. Oral semaglutide capsules are $289/month (month-to-month), $269/month (three-month), and $249/month (six-month); oral tirzepatide capsules are $349/month (month-to-month), $299/month (three-month), and $279/month (six-month). Every price includes provider visit, prescription, medication, and shipping; no membership fees, no dose-based upcharges, no hidden line items. Multi-month plans bill at the discounted rate every cycle—not prepaid upfront—so you preserve month-to-month flexibility while capturing the lower per-month cost. A microdose GLP-1 protocol is available at $129/month for maintenance or cautious titration. PlexusDx holds a 4.3-star rating on Trustpilot, with 79 percent of reviews at five stars and 83 percent at four stars or higher (captured September 9, 2026).

Choose PlexusDx if you want the lowest verified month-to-month rate for injectable semaglutide ($189), competitive tirzepatide pricing ($289 month-to-month, $10 below ShedRx), and predictable billing with no separate membership or dose surprises. The three-month plan delivers the same $269/month tirzepatide rate that ShedRx offers at six months, and the six-month plan undercuts that tier by $20/month. If you value transparency, flat pricing at every dose, and the ability to adjust or cancel without forfeiting a large prepayment, PlexusDx fits.

Methodology and freshness

We captured ShedRx pricing from the provider's live product pages on September 4, 2026 (tirzepatide injection month-to-month, six-month, and twelve-month plans; oral GLP-1 lozenges). ShedRx semaglutide pricing showed conflicting teaser figures across pages; no verified monthly injection rate was documented at checkout, and the article states this conflict plainly. Competitor pricing for Eden, Embody, Found, Henry Meds, Peak Wellness, and TrimRx derives from checkout verification or published rate captures performed July 17–23, 2026. All twelve-month totals are our calculations, multiplying the stated monthly rate by twelve. Like-for-like plan comparisons match commitment length and billing frequency: month-to-month against month-to-month, six-month commitment against six-month plan. When a competitor's advertised rate differed from the checkout-verified ongoing rate (TrimRx), we published both figures with explicit labels and verification dates. PlexusDx pricing reflects the standing rate sheet effective September 8, 2026. Review data for PlexusDx was captured September 4, 2026. No ShedRx review rating, volume, or specific themes were captured; Trustpilot and Reddit links were checked but yielded insufficient data for publication. We re-verify competitor pricing every 90 days and update this article when material changes occur.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does ShedRx month-to-month tirzepatide pricing compare with PlexusDx?

ShedRx charges $299/month for injectable tirzepatide on a month-to-month plan (captured September 4, 2026). PlexusDx charges $289/month month-to-month for the same compound and route—$10/month less, which totals $120 over twelve months (our calculation). Both programs include provider visit, prescription, medication, and shipping in the published rate; neither charges a separate membership fee.

What is the cheapest verified month-to-month GLP-1 rate among these alternatives?

PlexusDx injectable semaglutide at $189/month is the lowest verified month-to-month rate in this comparison (captured September 8, 2026). Eden charges $198/month all-in (medication plus mandatory membership). Peak Wellness charges $249/month for semaglutide month-to-month. Found, Embody, Henry Meds, and TrimRx each bill $289–$299/month. ShedRx semaglutide injection pricing was not verified; oral lozenges are $199/month.

Do multi-month plans require paying the entire commitment upfront?

It depends on the provider. PlexusDx multi-month plans (three-month, six-month) bill the discounted rate every cycle, so you pay monthly at the lower per-month price without a large upfront charge. Found's twelve-month cash-pay plan and TrimRx's three-, six-, and twelve-month plans require full prepayment to access the advertised per-month equivalent. ShedRx six- and twelve-month commitments bill at the commitment rate each month for the chosen term. Always confirm billing cadence in your intake cart.

Can I switch from semaglutide to tirzepatide mid-treatment without changing providers?

Most programs in this comparison dispense both compounds, so a switch request typically goes through your existing provider for re-evaluation and a new prescription. Confirm formulary availability, any price difference, and whether the switch requires a new intake visit. PlexusDx, ShedRx, Eden, Embody, Found, Peak Wellness, and TrimRx each list both semaglutide and tirzepatide; Henry Meds offers injectable semaglutide and oral tirzepatide dissolving tablets. Never switch compounds or adjust dose without provider approval.

Are ShedRx oral GLP-1 lozenges the same formulation as PlexusDx oral capsules?

No. ShedRx oral lozenges and PlexusDx oral capsules differ in delivery mechanism, compound, and bioavailability profile. ShedRx lists oral GLP-1 lozenges at $199/month with product specifics determined by the prescribing clinician. PlexusDx oral semaglutide capsules run $289/month (month-to-month) and oral tirzepatide capsules $349/month (month-to-month). A licensed clinician evaluates which oral formulation, if any, is appropriate for your weight-management goals, gastrointestinal tolerance, and medical history.
