The short answer

BrightMeds delivers the lowest verified month-to-month rates in this comparison: $129/month for compounded semaglutide and $149/month for compounded tirzepatide, with no membership fee and same pricing at every dose. PlexusDx ranks second at $189 semaglutide and $289 tirzepatide on month-to-month plans, followed by Eden (which requires a $99/month membership on top of medication costs), Peak Wellness, Found, Henry Meds, TrimRx, and Embody. BrightMeds also offers a state-limited summer promotional 3-month prepaid plan at $99/month prepaid rate for semaglutide and $119/month prepaid rate for tirzepatide, though availability is restricted and the ongoing month-to-month rate applies after the promotional period. Over twelve months on standard month-to-month plans, BrightMeds costs $1,548 for semaglutide and $1,788 for tirzepatide, compared with PlexusDx at $2,268 and $3,468 respectively. BrightMeds holds a 4.8-star Trustpilot rating with over 900 reviews; PlexusDx holds a 4.3-star rating with 79% of reviews at five stars and 83% at four stars or higher (captured September 9, 2026; trustpilot.com/review/plexusdx.com). If you qualify for BrightMeds' service area and the promotional rate is still available, it represents the clearest savings in this group; if you need transparent multi-month commitment options without prepayment or fall outside BrightMeds' state coverage, PlexusDx and Eden offer the next-lowest verified ongoing rates.

At-a-glance comparison

All figures verified July–September 2026. MTM = month-to-month plan with no prepayment or commitment. All-in pricing includes medication, provider evaluation, follow-up, and shipping unless noted.

Like-for-like pricing: month-to-month plans

Month-to-month plans offer the clearest apples-to-apples comparison because they carry no prepayment, no multi-month commitment, and reflect the true recurring cost you will see every billing cycle.

Semaglutide month-to-month

BrightMeds: $129/month (verified September 4, 2026; brightmeds.com). Includes compounded semaglutide injection, provider evaluation, follow-up adjustments, support, and shipping. No membership fee, no lab fee, no prescribing fee. Same price at every dose. BrightMeds describes this as part of a state-limited summer promotion, so availability may be restricted by geography and duration.

PlexusDx: $189/month (verified September 23, 2026; plexusdx.com). Includes compounded semaglutide injection, online provider visit, follow-up, adjustments, medication, and shipping. No membership fee. Same price at every dose.

Eden: $198/month all-in (verified July 17–23, 2026; eden.com). Eden advertises $99 medication, but checkout requires a $99/month membership, bringing the total recurring cost to $198/month. The membership is not optional if you want the medication.

Peak Wellness: $249/month (verified July 17–23, 2026; peakwellness.com). No membership fee. Lower per-month rates available on 6-month prepaid plans.

Found: $289/month (verified July 17–23, 2026; found.com). Cash-pay month-to-month rate. Found also offers 12-month prepaid plans at $169/month prepaid rate (our calculation), which requires full upfront payment and is not monthly billing.

Henry Meds: $297/month (verified July 17–23, 2026; henrymeds.com). No membership fee.

TrimRx: $299/month (verified July 17–23, 2026; trimrx.com). TrimRx advertises $199 semaglutide on its homepage, but the checkout ongoing rate is $299/month. Lower per-month rates available on prepaid 3-, 6-, and 12-month plans.

Embody: $299/month (verified July 17–23, 2026; embody.com). No membership fee, same price at every dose.

Over twelve months, these month-to-month plans produce the following total costs (our calculation):

• BrightMeds: $1,548
• PlexusDx: $2,268
• Eden: $2,376
• Peak Wellness: $2,988
• Found: $3,468
• Henry Meds: $3,564
• TrimRx: $3,588
• Embody: $3,588

Tirzepatide month-to-month

BrightMeds: $149/month (verified September 4, 2026; brightmeds.com). Includes compounded tirzepatide injection, provider evaluation, follow-up, support, and shipping. No membership fee, same price at every dose. State-limited summer promotion applies.

PlexusDx: $289/month (verified September 23, 2026; plexusdx.com). Includes compounded tirzepatide injection, online provider visit, follow-up, adjustments, medication, and shipping. No membership fee.

Eden: $298/month all-in (verified July 17–23, 2026; eden.com). $199 medication plus required $99/month membership.

Peak Wellness: $349/month (verified July 17–23, 2026; peakwellness.com). No membership fee.

Embody: $349/month (verified July 17–23, 2026; embody.com). No membership fee, same price at every dose.

Found: $359/month (verified July 17–23, 2026; found.com). Cash-pay month-to-month rate.

TrimRx: $399/month (verified July 17–23, 2026; trimrx.com). Checkout ongoing rate; advertised homepage figure is $349, but the recurring charge at checkout is $399.

Henry Meds offers an oral dissolving tirzepatide tablet, not an injectable, so it is not directly comparable to the injection programs listed here.

Over twelve months on month-to-month tirzepatide (our calculation):

• BrightMeds: $1,788
• PlexusDx: $3,468
• Eden: $3,576
• Peak Wellness: $4,188
• Embody: $4,188
• Found: $4,308
• TrimRx: $4,788

BrightMeds promotional 3-month prepaid plans

BrightMeds offers a 3-month prepaid plan as part of its state-limited summer promotion (verified September 4, 2026; brightmeds.com). These rates require full upfront payment every three months and are explicitly labeled as promotional:

• Semaglutide 3-month prepaid: $297 upfront every three months, or $99/month prepaid rate (our calculation). Over twelve months: $297 × 4 = $1,188 total cost, or $99/month prepaid rate.
• Tirzepatide 3-month prepaid: $357 upfront every three months, or $119/month prepaid rate (our calculation). Over twelve months: $357 × 4 = $1,428 total cost, or $119/month prepaid rate.

These prepaid rates are lower than BrightMeds' standard month-to-month rates ($129 semaglutide, $149 tirzepatide) and substantially lower than any other program in this comparison. However, the promotional plans require $297 or $357 upfront every quarter, are described as part of a summer special, and availability is limited by state. If the promotion ends or you move outside the service area, the standard month-to-month rate would apply. Always confirm the current offer and your state eligibility at checkout.

PlexusDx multi-month commitment plans

PlexusDx offers 3-month and 6-month commitment plans that reduce the per-month rate without requiring full prepayment. You are billed monthly at the reduced rate and commit to the plan duration:

Semaglutide injection

• Month-to-month: $189/month → $2,268 over 12 months (our calculation)
• 3-month commitment: $169/month → $2,028 over 12 months (our calculation)
• 6-month commitment: $149/month → $1,788 over 12 months (our calculation)

Tirzepatide injection

• Month-to-month: $289/month → $3,468 over 12 months (our calculation)
• 3-month commitment: $269/month → $3,228 over 12 months (our calculation)
• 6-month commitment: $249/month → $2,988 over 12 months (our calculation)

PlexusDx's 6-month semaglutide commitment ($149/month, $1,788 over 12 months) matches BrightMeds' standard month-to-month tirzepatide rate and ties BrightMeds' 12-month tirzepatide prepaid promotional total. PlexusDx's tirzepatide 6-month commitment ($249/month, $2,988 over 12 months) is higher than BrightMeds' month-to-month tirzepatide but lower than Eden's tirzepatide all-in cost and substantially lower than Peak Wellness, Embody, Found, and TrimRx.

Review records and service quality

BrightMeds holds a 4.8-star rating on Trustpilot with over 900 reviews (captured September 4, 2026; trustpilot.com/review/brightmeds.com). The review volume and rating place it at the top of this comparison group. No recurring negative themes were captured in the research pass, and the rating suggests consistent customer satisfaction across a large sample.

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). The rating reflects a smaller but still substantial review base and indicates that the majority of customers report positive experiences.

Review data for the other six providers in this comparison was not captured in the research packet, so we cannot compare service quality or customer satisfaction beyond BrightMeds and PlexusDx. When choosing between low-cost providers, consider whether verified reviews are available, how the program handles dose adjustments and follow-up, and whether the provider has a transparent escalation path if you experience an issue.

Eligibility, availability, and limitations

BrightMeds describes its current pricing as a "state-limited summer promotion" (verified September 4, 2026; brightmeds.com). This means:

• The advertised rates may not be available in all states.
• The promotional period may have a defined end date or may end without notice.
• If you start on the promotional rate and later move outside the service area or the promotion ends, you may face a different rate structure or need to transition to another provider.

Always confirm your state eligibility, the current offer, and the duration or conditions of any promotional rate before committing to a prepaid plan. If long-term predictability is a priority, verify whether the provider guarantees rate continuity or whether the rate is subject to change.

PlexusDx and the other providers in this comparison do not describe their pricing as promotional, though any telehealth program may adjust rates over time. Standard terms and service-area restrictions apply to all programs.

Decision factors: price vs. predictability

When price alone is the priority

If you qualify for BrightMeds' service area and the promotional rate is still active, BrightMeds offers the lowest verified cost in this comparison on both month-to-month and prepaid structures. The 3-month prepaid plans ($99/month prepaid rate for semaglutide, $119/month prepaid rate for tirzepatide) require upfront payment but deliver the steepest savings over twelve months ($1,188 and $1,428 respectively, our calculation). The standard month-to-month plans ($129 semaglutide, $149 tirzepatide) remain the lowest in the group without prepayment and cost $1,548 and $1,788 over twelve months.

When service-area risk or promotional uncertainty is a concern

If you are unsure whether you qualify for BrightMeds' state-limited promotion, or if you want a program with transparent multi-month commitment options that do not require full prepayment, PlexusDx is the second-lowest verified provider for semaglutide ($189 month-to-month, $169 on 3-month commitment, $149 on 6-month commitment) and tirzepatide ($289 month-to-month, $269 on 3-month commitment, $249 on 6-month commitment). PlexusDx does not describe its pricing as promotional, and the commitment plans reduce the per-month rate while billing monthly rather than requiring a lump sum every quarter.

When membership-fee structures matter

Eden's advertised $99 medication rate is lower than PlexusDx's $189 semaglutide rate, but Eden requires a $99/month membership on top of the medication cost, bringing the all-in recurring charge to $198 semaglutide and $298 tirzepatide. If you prefer a single line-item charge with no separate membership billing, BrightMeds, PlexusDx, Peak Wellness, Found, Henry Meds, TrimRx, and Embody all include everything in one monthly price.

Choose BrightMeds if…

• You qualify for the state-limited service area and the summer promotion is still active at the time you enroll.
• You want the lowest verified month-to-month rate in this comparison ($129 semaglutide, $149 tirzepatide) with no membership fee and same pricing at every dose.
• You are comfortable with a 3-month prepaid structure and want the steepest savings ($99/month prepaid rate for semaglutide, $119/month prepaid rate for tirzepatide).
• You value a strong review record (4.8 stars, 900+ reviews on Trustpilot) as a signal of service quality and customer satisfaction.
• You understand that the promotional rate may have a defined end date or geographic limits and have confirmed your eligibility and the current offer at checkout.

Choose PlexusDx if…

• You want the second-lowest verified semaglutide and tirzepatide rates in this comparison without relying on a state-limited or time-limited promotion.
• You prefer transparent multi-month commitment options (3-month at $169 semaglutide / $269 tirzepatide; 6-month at $149 semaglutide / $249 tirzepatide) that reduce the per-month cost but bill monthly rather than requiring full prepayment every quarter.
• You want a program that includes medication, online provider visit, follow-up, dose adjustments, and shipping in one price with no membership fee, no lab fee, and same pricing at every dose.
• You value a verified Trustpilot review record (4.3 stars, 79% five-star, 83% four stars or higher) and prefer a provider that publishes this comparison transparently, applying the same evidence rules to its own program and competing programs.

Choose Eden if…

• You want a medication-only rate lower than PlexusDx's all-in rate and are comfortable paying a separate required $99/month membership fee.
• You value the structure of separating medication cost from membership cost for budgeting or accounting purposes.
• You understand that the all-in recurring charge ($198 semaglutide, $298 tirzepatide) is higher than BrightMeds and PlexusDx but lower than Peak Wellness, Found, Henry Meds, TrimRx, and Embody.

Choose Peak Wellness, Found, Henry Meds, TrimRx, or Embody if…

• You have a specific service need, formulary preference, or clinical relationship with one of these providers that justifies the higher month-to-month cost ($249–$399 for semaglutide, $349–$499 for tirzepatide).
• You are evaluating prepaid multi-month plans from these providers, which may offer lower per-month rates than the month-to-month figures shown here, and have confirmed the prepaid total cost and refund terms at checkout.
• BrightMeds and PlexusDx do not serve your state or do not meet another specific requirement of your situation.

Methodology and freshness

All pricing and service details were captured from provider websites, checkout flows, and product pages between July 17 and September 23, 2026. BrightMeds pricing, fees, inclusions, limitations, and review data were verified September 4, 2026 (brightmeds.com; trustpilot.com/review/brightmeds.com). PlexusDx pricing was verified September 23, 2026 (plexusdx.com). PlexusDx review data was verified September 9, 2026 (trustpilot.com/review/plexusdx.com). Comparison pool providers (Eden, Peak Wellness, Found, Henry Meds, TrimRx, Embody) were verified through checkout July 17–23, 2026.

Twelve-month total costs are our calculation, derived by multiplying the verified monthly rate by twelve for month-to-month plans, or by multiplying the verified prepaid amount by the number of cycles per year for prepaid plans. Prepaid per-month rates (e.g., BrightMeds' $99/month semaglutide prepaid rate) are our calculation, derived by dividing the total prepaid cost by the number of months covered, and are labeled as prepaid rates in every instance.

We do not derive prices by applying discounts. Every figure published here was observed directly at the source or calculated transparently from observed figures, with the calculation method disclosed.

BrightMeds' pricing is described by the provider as part of a state-limited summer promotion. Promotional terms, service-area eligibility, and rate continuity should be confirmed with the provider at the time of enrollment. Rates, review scores, and program features may change; confirm all details at checkout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is BrightMeds' $99/month semaglutide rate available in all states?

No. BrightMeds describes its current pricing as a state-limited summer promotion, which means availability is restricted by geography and the promotional period may have a defined end date. You should confirm your state eligibility and the current offer directly with BrightMeds at checkout before committing to any prepaid plan.

Does PlexusDx require full prepayment for its 3-month and 6-month plans?

No. PlexusDx's 3-month and 6-month commitment plans bill you monthly at the reduced rate (e.g., $169/month for semaglutide on a 3-month commitment, $149/month on a 6-month commitment). You commit to the plan duration but are not required to pay the full cost upfront, unlike BrightMeds' prepaid quarterly structure.

Why does Eden advertise $99 medication but cost $198 per month?

Eden's advertised $99 figure is the medication-only rate. Eden requires a $99/month membership to access that medication rate, so the all-in recurring charge is $198/month for semaglutide ($99 medication + $99 membership) and $298/month for tirzepatide ($199 medication + $99 membership). The membership is not optional if you want the medication.

Are compounded GLP-1 medications FDA-approved?

No. 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. All providers in this comparison offer compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, not the branded FDA-approved versions (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound).

Which provider has the best review rating?

BrightMeds holds a 4.8-star rating on Trustpilot with over 900 reviews, the highest in this comparison. PlexusDx holds a 4.3-star rating with 79% five-star reviews and 83% four stars or higher. Review data for Eden, Peak Wellness, Found, Henry Meds, TrimRx, and Embody was not captured in this research pass, so we cannot compare their ratings or service-quality signals.
