The short answer

If you are looking for a dedicated microdose tirzepatide option for maintenance—lower dose, lower cost, clinical oversight—PlexusDx is the only provider in this comparison with a published microdose protocol at $129 per month month-to-month, no membership fee. Found, Peak Wellness, Embody, Eden, and TrimRx offer standard-dose tirzepatide injection; Henry Meds does not offer injectable tirzepatide at all. Found and Peak Wellness publish lower committed-term rates for standard tirzepatide when you prepay. Eden requires a $99 monthly membership on top of its medication charge. No competitor offers a comparable microdose entry point at the time of this review.

At-a-glance comparison

MTM = month-to-month. Multi-month figures are per-month equivalents for prepaid plans (our calculation). PlexusDx 3- and 6-month rates, Found 3- and 6-month rates, Peak Wellness 3- and 6-month rates, and TrimRx 3- and 6-month totals captured July–September 2026. Sources and capture dates in Methodology section.

Like-for-like pricing and 12-month cost

Microdose maintenance is a distinct use case; only PlexusDx publishes a dedicated microdose protocol in this comparison. For the microdose option:

• PlexusDx Microdose GLP-1: $129 per month month-to-month, 12 calendar months = $1,548 per year (our calculation).

For standard-dose injectable tirzepatide, month-to-month comparisons:

• PlexusDx: $289/mo × 12 = $3,468/year (our calculation)
• Eden: $298/mo all-in ($199 medication + $99 required membership) × 12 = $3,576/year (our calculation)
• Embody: $349/mo × 12 = $4,188/year (our calculation)
• Peak Wellness: $349/mo × 12 = $4,188/year (our calculation)
• Found: $359/mo billed every 4 weeks, 13 charges = $4,667/year (our calculation)
• TrimRx: Advertised $349/mo; checkout-verified $319/mo (captured July 18, 2026) × 12 = $3,828/year (our calculation). TrimRx advertised and checkout rates conflict; confirm at checkout.

Committed-term comparisons (3-month prepaid):

• PlexusDx: $269/mo × 12 = $3,228/year (our calculation)
• Peak Wellness: $279/mo × 12 = $3,348/year (our calculation; $837 charged every 3 months)
• Found: $309/mo equivalent every 4 weeks, 13 charges = $4,017/year (our calculation; billed every 12 weeks)
• TrimRx: $1,068 per 3 months × 4 = $4,272/year (our calculation)

Committed-term comparisons (6-month prepaid):

• PlexusDx: $249/mo × 12 = $2,988/year (our calculation)
• Peak Wellness: $1,396 per 6 months × 2 = $2,792/year (our calculation; billed upfront every 6 months)
• Found: $289/mo equivalent every 4 weeks, 13 charges = $3,757/year (our calculation; billed every 24 weeks)
• TrimRx: $1,918 per 6 months × 2 = $3,836/year (our calculation)

Peak Wellness holds a cost advantage over PlexusDx on the 6-month tier by $196 per year (our calculation). Found and TrimRx also offer 12-month prepaid plans ($2,868 and $3,518 billed upfront, respectively); PlexusDx does not publish a 12-month plan, so these are not directly comparable.

Decision factors

Microdose availability

PlexusDx is the only provider in this comparison with a published microdose GLP-1 protocol. Microdose protocols are typically used for weight maintenance after reaching goal on a standard dose, or as a lower-cost entry point for patients who may not tolerate or need full-strength doses. At $129 per month, the microdose option is $160 per month less than PlexusDx's standard tirzepatide injection and $170 less than the least expensive month-to-month standard tirzepatide from a competitor (Eden, $298/mo all-in). Henry Meds offers a microdose semaglutide injectable at $179 per month, but does not offer injectable tirzepatide at all.

Month-to-month flexibility

All providers offer cancel-anytime month-to-month billing except Henry Meds, which does not offer injectable tirzepatide. Eden's month-to-month rate includes a required $99 monthly membership, making its effective cost $298 per month. Found bills every 4 weeks (13 charges per year) rather than calendar months, so annual cost is higher than it appears from the monthly rate. TrimRx's advertised $349 per month does not match its checkout-verified $319 per month (captured July 18, 2026); confirm at checkout.

Committed-term economics

Peak Wellness delivers the lowest verified 6-month tirzepatide rate in this comparison: $1,396 every 6 months ($2,792/year, our calculation), $196 less per year than PlexusDx's 6-month rate. PlexusDx's 6-month rate ($249/mo, $2,988/year) is the second-lowest. Found and TrimRx also offer lower committed-term rates, but both are higher than PlexusDx and Peak Wellness on a 12-month basis. Found and TrimRx publish 12-month prepaid plans ($2,868 and $3,518 respectively); PlexusDx does not offer a 12-month tier, so these are not directly comparable to PlexusDx's monthly or 6-month options.

Refund and cancellation terms

PlexusDx, Eden, Embody, Found, and Peak Wellness all state cancel-anytime policies. PlexusDx's 3- and 6-month rates are prepaid; how unused months are handled is not specified in the capture. Peak Wellness's 3- and 6-month plans are also prepaid; refund terms for unused months were not captured. TrimRx states that multi-month packages "will not be refunded for unused medication or remaining months." Found states changes take effect at the next billing cycle. If flexibility is critical, month-to-month plans carry the least financial risk.

Clinical support and inclusions

All providers include a prescribing consultation. Embody and Peak Wellness both advertise 24/7 clinical chat support. Found includes app access and care-team support. PlexusDx includes a free Doctor of Pharmacy check-in with Dr. Jayden Lee, PharmD. Eden and TrimRx list medication and consults but do not specify ongoing clinical access in the captures reviewed. All providers cover shipping in their published rates.

Oral vs injectable tirzepatide

PlexusDx offers both injectable and oral compounded tirzepatide. Oral tirzepatide at PlexusDx is $349 per month month-to-month, $299 per month on a 3-month plan, $279 per month on a 6-month plan. Henry Meds offers an oral tirzepatide dissolving tablet on a prepaid-only term; the capture states "3-month supply" in the heading and "six months" in the body, and no month-to-month rate was published, so it is not directly comparable to monthly injectable rates. All other providers in this comparison offer injectable tirzepatide only.

Choose PlexusDx if…

Choose PlexusDx if you want a dedicated microdose GLP-1 maintenance protocol at $129 per month with no membership fee, or if you want the flexibility to move between microdose and standard-dose tirzepatide (injectable or oral) under a single provider with transparent calendar-month billing and a pharmacist check-in included. PlexusDx is the lowest-cost month-to-month option for standard tirzepatide in this comparison at $289 per month, and the second-lowest on the 6-month tier ($249/mo, $2,988/year).

Choose Peak Wellness if…

Choose Peak Wellness if you are confident you will stay on standard-dose tirzepatide for at least 6 months and want the lowest verified 6-month rate in this comparison ($1,396 per 6 months, $2,792/year). Peak Wellness also offers 24/7 clinical support and expedited shipping. Refund terms for unused prepaid months were not captured; confirm before committing if early discontinuation is a possibility.

Choose Found if…

Choose Found if you value app-based care coordination and prefer a 4-week billing cycle (13 charges per year). Found's 6-month tirzepatide rate ($289/mo equivalent, $3,757/year) is higher than PlexusDx and Peak Wellness but includes app access and 24/7 care-team support. Found also offers an insurance track ($99–$199/mo with copays) if you have commercial insurance coverage for compounded GLP-1 medications, which most plans do not cover as of 2026.

Choose Eden if…

Choose Eden if you want month-to-month flexibility at $298 per month all-in and value its "Lose 10% in 6 months or get your money back" pledge. Note that the $298 total comprises $199 medication and a required $99 monthly membership, so you cannot opt out of the membership and pay $199 alone. Full money-back terms were not captured; confirm conditions before enrollment.

Choose Embody if…

Choose Embody if you want unlimited provider visits and 24/7 clinical chat support and are comfortable with a $349 per month rate. Embody's month-to-month rate is higher than PlexusDx, Eden, and Peak Wellness, but the unlimited-visit model may suit patients who anticipate frequent clinical contact. Embody also offers a 6-month satisfaction refund; full terms were not captured.

Choose TrimRx if…

Choose TrimRx only after confirming current checkout pricing. TrimRx advertised $349 per month for tirzepatide but checkout verification on July 18, 2026 showed $319 per month. TrimRx's multi-month prepaid totals ($1,068 for 3 months, $1,918 for 6 months) are higher than PlexusDx and Peak Wellness on a like-for-like basis, and TrimRx states unused prepaid months will not be refunded. TrimRx offers 0% financing through third-party services (Klarna, Afterpay, Affirm), which may help spread upfront costs, but this is a consumer-finance arrangement, not a TrimRx payment plan.

Where Henry Meds fits

Henry Meds does not offer injectable tirzepatide. It offers an oral tirzepatide tablet on a prepaid-only term that is not directly comparable to monthly injectable rates. Henry Meds does offer a microdose semaglutide injectable at $179 per month, which is $50 more per month than PlexusDx's microdose GLP-1 protocol and is a semaglutide compound, not tirzepatide. If you specifically want microdose tirzepatide, Henry Meds is not a match.

Methodology and freshness

Pricing and terms for PlexusDx, Eden, Embody, Found, Henry Meds, Peak Wellness, and TrimRx were captured from public checkout flows, published rate cards, and policy pages between July 18, 2026 and September 2, 2026. PlexusDx data refreshed September 2, 2026; Found data refreshed September 2, 2026; Peak Wellness data refreshed September 2, 2026; all other providers captured July 18–21, 2026. All pricing is verified standard ongoing rates and prepaid totals only, captured at the dates shown. Multi-month per-month equivalents and 12-month totals are our calculation. TrimRx advertised rates ($349/mo tirzepatide) conflict with checkout-verified rates ($319/mo tirzepatide); both are reported and readers are advised to confirm at checkout. Henry Meds oral tirzepatide term length is inconsistent in the source (3-month supply in heading, six months in body); no monthly rate was published. This comparison uses standard ongoing rates and prepaid totals only, verified at the dates shown.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is microdose GLP-1 and who is it for?

Microdose GLP-1 refers to a lower-dose formulation of a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, typically used for weight maintenance after a patient has reached their goal on a standard dose, or as a lower-cost entry point for patients who may not need or tolerate full-strength doses. PlexusDx's microdose protocol is $129 per month; a licensed provider determines whether microdose or standard dosing is appropriate for your situation.

Is compounded tirzepatide the same as brand-name Mounjaro or Zepbound?

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. Compounded tirzepatide is a custom-prepared formulation from a compounding pharmacy; it is not the same as and not interchangeable with FDA-approved brand-name products.

Why does Found bill every 4 weeks instead of monthly?

Found structures its cash-pay plans on a 4-week cycle, which results in 13 billing events per year rather than 12. This means Found's stated per-period rate is collected 13 times, making the annual cost higher than a simple 12-times-monthly calculation would suggest. For example, Found's $359 per period tirzepatide results in $4,667 per year, not $4,308.

Can I switch from standard-dose tirzepatide to microdose with PlexusDx?

Yes. PlexusDx offers both microdose GLP-1 ($129/mo) and standard-dose injectable tirzepatide ($289/mo month-to-month) under a single provider. A licensed clinician reviews your intake and current status to determine which protocol is appropriate, and you can discuss protocol changes during your pharmacist check-in or by contacting clinical support.

What happens if I prepay for 6 months and want to stop early?

Prepaid multi-month plans carry discontinuation risk. TrimRx explicitly states unused months will not be refunded. PlexusDx and Peak Wellness offer prepaid 6-month rates but do not specify refund terms in the captures reviewed; confirm before committing. Month-to-month plans carry less financial risk if you are uncertain about duration or tolerance.
