The short answer

Willow charges $299 per month for compounded semaglutide (injection or oral) and $399 per month for compounded tirzepatide injection, verified September 4, 2026. Seven verified alternatives offer lower month-to-month rates. PlexusDx charges $189 per month for semaglutide injection and $289 per month for tirzepatide injection—$110 per month lower on each compound. Eden, Found, Peak Wellness, and others fall between these endpoints. Every provider compared here dispenses compounded GLP-1 medication; none are FDA-approved, and a licensed clinician must determine whether any prescription is appropriate for an individual patient.

At-a-glance comparison

All prices verified July 17–23, 2026 (PlexusDx and alternatives) and September 4, 2026 (Willow). MTM = month-to-month.

Like-for-like pricing: Willow versus verified alternatives

Willow's pricing is straightforward: $299 per month for compounded semaglutide (either injection or oral route) and $399 per month for compounded tirzepatide injection, with free two-day shipping and HSA/FSA eligibility (verified September 4, 2026; startwillow.com). The evidence does not itemize whether oral semaglutide carries a different rate than injection; readers should confirm route-specific pricing at intake.

Over twelve months at the verified month-to-month rate, Willow semaglutide totals $3,588 and tirzepatide totals $4,788—our calculation.

Seven verified alternatives with checkout-captured pricing (July 17–23, 2026) fall below Willow on one or both compounds:

• PlexusDx semaglutide injection: $189/month MTM = $2,268 over twelve months—$1,320 less than Willow over one year (our calculation).
• PlexusDx tirzepatide injection: $289/month MTM = $3,468 over twelve months—$1,320 less than Willow over one year (our calculation).
• Eden semaglutide: $198/month all-in ($99 medication + $99 required membership) = $2,376 over twelve months (our calculation).
• Eden tirzepatide: $298/month all-in = $3,576 over twelve months (our calculation).
• Peak Wellness semaglutide: $249/month MTM = $2,988 over twelve months (our calculation).
• Peak Wellness tirzepatide: $349/month MTM = $4,188 over twelve months (our calculation).
• Found semaglutide: $289/month MTM = $3,468 over twelve months (our calculation).
• Found tirzepatide: $359/month MTM = $4,308 over twelve months (our calculation).
• Henry Meds semaglutide: $297/month subscription = $3,564 over twelve months (our calculation). Henry Meds offers tirzepatide only as an oral dissolving tablet; no injection rate was captured.
• Embody semaglutide: $299/month = $3,588 over twelve months, identical to Willow (our calculation).
• Embody tirzepatide: $349/month = $4,188 over twelve months, $600 less than Willow (our calculation).
• TrimRx semaglutide: $299/month = $3,588 over twelve months, identical to Willow (our calculation). Note: TrimRx advertises $199 semaglutide on its landing page, but the checkout-verified rate is $299.
• TrimRx tirzepatide: $399/month = $4,788 over twelve months, identical to Willow (our calculation). Advertised at $349; checkout-verified at $399.

Willow's month-to-month rate for semaglutide ties it with Embody and TrimRx; for tirzepatide, it ties with TrimRx. Five verified providers offer lower semaglutide rates month-to-month; six offer lower tirzepatide rates month-to-month.

Prepaid plans

Willow's evidence does not document multi-month prepaid discounts. Among the alternatives:

• PlexusDx 6-month prepaid semaglutide injection: $149/month ($894 charged every six months) = $1,788 over twelve months—$1,800 less than Willow over one year (our calculation).
• PlexusDx 6-month prepaid tirzepatide injection: $249/month ($1,494 charged every six months) = $2,988 over twelve months—$1,800 less than Willow over one year (our calculation).
• Found 12-month prepaid semaglutide (body only): Found offers a 12-month prepaid plan at an effective rate of $169/month ($2,028 charged upfront, verified July 20, 2026). That total is $1,560 less than Willow over one year (our calculation). This is a prepaid plan; the full $2,028 is due at enrollment.
• Peak Wellness and TrimRx also offer lower per-month rates on 6-month and 12-month prepaid plans, but itemized rates were not captured in the evidence.

Decision factors beyond price

Medication route and availability

Willow offers both injection and oral semaglutide, and injection tirzepatide (verified September 4, 2026). The evidence does not itemize whether the oral route carries a different monthly rate than injection; readers should confirm at intake. PlexusDx, Embody, Peak Wellness, TrimRx, and Eden all offer both semaglutide and tirzepatide injections. Henry Meds offers semaglutide injection but tirzepatide only as an oral dissolving tablet. Found offers both compounds by injection.

Shipping and payment flexibility

Willow includes free two-day shipping and accepts HSA/FSA payment (verified September 4, 2026). PlexusDx, Eden, Embody, Found, Henry Meds, Peak Wellness, and TrimRx all include free shipping; HSA/FSA eligibility varies by provider and should be confirmed at checkout.

Membership fees

Willow, PlexusDx, Embody, Henry Meds, Peak Wellness, and TrimRx charge no separate membership fee; the monthly rate is all-inclusive. Eden's $99 medication charge requires a $99-per-month membership, bringing the all-in rate to $198 semaglutide or $298 tirzepatide. Found's pricing is medication-only; no separate membership fee was captured in the July 2026 verification.

Dosing and titration

Willow's evidence does not specify whether pricing varies by dose. PlexusDx and Embody both guarantee the same monthly price at every dose, including maintenance doses. Found, Eden, Henry Meds, Peak Wellness, and TrimRx policies on dose-dependent pricing were not itemized in the captured evidence; readers should confirm at intake.

Review record

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). Willow maintains a Trustpilot profile at trustpilot.com/review/startwillow.com (verified September 4, 2026), but no rating or review volume was captured in this research pass. Review records for the other alternatives were not verified in the evidence.
