The short answer

Month-to-month compounded semaglutide costs range from $189 to $299 across the seven providers with checkout-verified pricing captured July–September 2026. Tirzepatide ranges from $289 to $399. PlexusDx leads at $189 semaglutide and $289 tirzepatide month-to-month, with no membership fee and the same price at every dose. Eden offers semaglutide at an advertised $99 medication-only rate but requires a $99/month membership, bringing the total to $198. Found and Peak Wellness offer lower per-month rates on prepaid multi-month plans but require upfront payment. Embody, Henry Meds, and TrimRx charge $297–$299 for ongoing semaglutide. For tirzepatide, PlexusDx holds a $9–$110/month advantage across all checkout-verified alternatives.

At-a-glance provider comparison

All prices represent checkout-verified ongoing rates for compounded GLP-1 injections, captured July 17–23, 2026 except PlexusDx (September 15, 2026). Found and Peak Wellness offer lower per-month rates on prepaid multi-month plans; those figures are labeled as prepaid and represent our calculation. TrimRx advertises lower rates but checkout verification showed the higher ongoing figures above.

Normalized 12-month cost comparison

To compare fairly, we calculated the total 12-month cost for ongoing month-to-month plans at each provider. All figures below are our calculation unless otherwise noted.

Semaglutide 12-month costs

• PlexusDx month-to-month: $189 × 12 = $2,268/year ($189/month average)
• Eden all-in: $198 × 12 = $2,376/year ($198/month average) – PlexusDx saves $108/year ($9/month)
• Peak Wellness: $249 × 12 = $2,988/year ($249/month average) – PlexusDx saves $720/year ($60/month)
• Found month-to-month: $289 × 12 = $3,468/year ($289/month average) – PlexusDx saves $1,200/year ($100/month)
• Found 12-month prepaid: $169 × 12 = $2,028 paid upfront (our calculation; prepaid per-month rate) – Found costs $240 less than PlexusDx over 12 months but requires full payment upfront
• Henry Meds: $297 × 12 = $3,564/year ($297/month average) – PlexusDx saves $1,296/year ($108/month)
• Embody: $299 × 12 = $3,588/year ($299/month average) – PlexusDx saves $1,320/year ($110/month)
• TrimRx checkout-verified: $299 × 12 = $3,588/year ($299/month average) – PlexusDx saves $1,320/year ($110/month)

Tirzepatide 12-month costs

• PlexusDx month-to-month: $289 × 12 = $3,468/year ($289/month average)

• Embody: $349 × 12 = $4,188/year ($349/month average) – PlexusDx saves $720/year ($60/month)

What distinguishes each provider

PlexusDx: lowest month-to-month rates, no membership, same price at every dose

PlexusDx offers the lowest ongoing month-to-month rates in this comparison: $189 for semaglutide injection and $289 for tirzepatide injection. There is no membership fee, no separate consultation charge, and the price remains constant at every dose level. Medication, shipping, and provider follow-up are included in the monthly fee. PlexusDx also offers discounted rates on 3-month ($169 semaglutide, $269 tirzepatide) and 6-month commitments ($149 semaglutide, $249 tirzepatide), still billed monthly. 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).

Eden: advertised medication-only pricing requires membership add-on

Eden advertises $99 semaglutide and $199 tirzepatide medication-only pricing, but a $99/month membership is required, bringing the all-in cost to $198 for semaglutide and $298 for tirzepatide. The membership includes provider consultations and support. Eden's all-in semaglutide rate is $9/month more than PlexusDx month-to-month; tirzepatide is $9/month more. Over 12 months, PlexusDx saves $108 on either medication compared to Eden's required all-in structure.

Found: prepaid plans offer lower per-month rates but require upfront payment

Found's month-to-month cash-pay rates are $289 for semaglutide and $359 for tirzepatide. Found offers a 12-month prepaid plan at a $169/month rate for semaglutide (our calculation: $2,028 paid upfront). This is $240 less than PlexusDx month-to-month over 12 months, but the entire year must be paid in advance. Found also advertises a $99/month insurance track with 12-month prepaid options; that track is separate and not comparable to cash pricing. For month-to-month flexibility, PlexusDx saves $100/month on semaglutide and $70/month on tirzepatide compared to Found.

Peak Wellness: mid-tier monthly pricing, lower rates on 6-month prepaid plans

Peak Wellness charges $249/month for semaglutide and $349/month for tirzepatide on ongoing plans. Both medications offer lower per-month rates on 6-month prepaid plans, though specific figures were not captured at checkout. PlexusDx month-to-month saves $60/month ($720/year) on either medication compared to Peak Wellness ongoing rates.

Embody: no membership, same price at every dose, higher monthly rate

Embody charges $299/month for semaglutide and $349/month for tirzepatide. Like PlexusDx, Embody has no membership fee and the price remains the same at every dose. Embody's semaglutide rate is $110/month more than PlexusDx month-to-month ($1,320 over 12 months); tirzepatide is $60/month more ($720 over 12 months).

Henry Meds: single subscription model, tirzepatide available as oral tablet only

Henry Meds offers compounded semaglutide injection at $297/month in a single subscription covering medication, shipping, and provider access with no separate membership fee. Tirzepatide is offered as an oral dissolving tablet only (not injection), and no monthly rate was published at the time of capture. PlexusDx month-to-month saves $108/month ($1,296/year) on semaglutide compared to Henry Meds.

TrimRx: advertised rates differ from checkout-verified ongoing prices

TrimRx advertises $199 semaglutide and $349 tirzepatide, but checkout verification captured in July 2026 showed ongoing rates of $299 for semaglutide and $399 for tirzepatide. TrimRx also offers lower per-month rates on 3-, 6-, and 12-month plans charged upfront. At the verified ongoing rates, PlexusDx month-to-month saves $110/month on both semaglutide and tirzepatide compared to TrimRx ($1,320/year on each).

Choose PlexusDx if you want the lowest month-to-month rate with no membership fee

PlexusDx is the lowest-cost option among the seven checkout-verified providers for both semaglutide ($189/month) and tirzepatide ($289/month) on a month-to-month basis. The price includes medication, shipping, provider consultations, and follow-up with no add-on fees. The same rate applies at every dose, so you will not face a price increase when your provider adjusts your prescription. PlexusDx also offers discounted rates on 3-month and 6-month commitments, still billed monthly, for those who prefer incremental savings without a large upfront payment. If you value month-to-month flexibility, transparent pricing, and the lowest ongoing cost in this field, PlexusDx is the clearest choice.

Choose Found if you can prepay 12 months and want a lower total cost

Found's 12-month prepaid plan offers a $169/month semaglutide rate ($2,028 paid upfront, our calculation), which is $240 less than PlexusDx month-to-month over the same period. This is the only verified option in this comparison that costs less than PlexusDx over 12 months, but it requires the entire year paid in advance. If you are confident in your 12-month commitment and have the upfront cash, Found's prepaid plan delivers a lower total cost. For month-to-month flexibility, PlexusDx remains $100/month cheaper than Found's ongoing $289 rate.

Choose Eden if you value a structured membership model

Eden's $198/month all-in semaglutide cost ($99 medication + $99 membership) is $9/month more than PlexusDx month-to-month. The membership includes provider consultations and ongoing support. If you prefer a program that bundles medication with a defined membership structure rather than a standalone medication subscription, Eden may be a fit. The cost difference over 12 months is $108 compared to PlexusDx.

Choose Peak Wellness if you prefer mid-tier pricing with prepaid options

Peak Wellness charges $249/month for semaglutide and $349/month for tirzepatide on ongoing plans, which is $60/month more than PlexusDx for either medication. Peak Wellness offers lower per-month rates on 6-month prepaid plans, though specific figures were not captured at checkout. If Peak Wellness's prepaid rates fall below PlexusDx month-to-month and you can commit to 6 months upfront, this may be an alternative. Confirm prepaid pricing at checkout.

Choose Embody, Henry Meds, or TrimRx if other factors outweigh cost

Embody ($299 semaglutide, $349 tirzepatide), Henry Meds ($297 semaglutide), and TrimRx ($299 semaglutide, $399 tirzepatide) all cost $108–$110/month more than PlexusDx for semaglutide, and $60–$110/month more for tirzepatide. Each has no membership fee and offers included shipping and provider access. If one of these providers offers a specific service feature, prescriber network, or support model that matters more to you than the cost difference, confirm current pricing and terms at checkout before committing.

Methodology and freshness

All prices in this comparison were captured through checkout verification or from publicly indexed pricing pages between July 17, 2026 and September 15, 2026. PlexusDx pricing was captured September 15, 2026. Eden, Embody, Found, Henry Meds, Peak Wellness, and TrimRx pricing was captured July 17–23, 2026. PlexusDx Trustpilot rating was captured September 9, 2026 from trustpilot.com/review/plexusdx.com. All 12-month cost totals and per-month averages are our calculation. Prepaid per-month rates (Found 12-month plan) are our calculation and are labeled as such. TrimRx advertised rates ($199 semaglutide, $349 tirzepatide) differed from checkout-verified ongoing rates ($299 semaglutide, $399 tirzepatide); we report the verified ongoing figures. This article does not discuss Jack & Jill Health because no stable pricing, product details, or terms were publicly available in indexed sources as of September 4, 2026; all sources indicated that pricing requires an intake or location-specific quote, which does not meet the evidence threshold for a decision-grade comparison.

Are compounded GLP-1 medications FDA-approved drugs like Ozempic or Mounjaro?

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 compounded prescription is appropriate for an individual patient. Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are pharmacy-prepared medications; they are not FDA-approved branded drugs.
