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

Embody publishes a single verified all-in rate: $299/month for semaglutide injection, $349/month for tirzepatide injection, with no membership fee and a 6-month money-back guarantee. We captured and confirmed these prices at checkout in July 2026. Zealthy advertises medication-only rates of $199 and $329 plus a $135/month membership fee, but we have not yet verified what you actually pay at checkout or what the membership includes beyond the label. At advertised rates, the combined monthly cost would be $334 for semaglutide or $464 for tirzepatide—our calculation from separate line items, not a captured total. Until we complete Zealthy's signup flow, we can report only what each company publishes, not what you would end up paying. For readers who value transparent, checkout-confirmed pricing, Embody currently offers the clearest picture.

At-a-glance comparison

Embody and PlexusDx pricing verified at checkout July 2026. Zealthy pricing is advertised only and has not been verified; inclusions and terms beyond the published membership fee are not documented. Readers should confirm final costs and terms at Zealthy checkout.

Normalized 12-month cost comparison

Pricing structures differ: Embody charges a single all-in rate per month, Zealthy separates medication and membership fees (advertised structure, unverified at checkout), and PlexusDx offers both month-to-month and lower committed-term rates with prepayment. The table below shows 12-month totals for like-for-like commitment levels.

All 12-month totals are our calculations. Embody pricing verified at checkout Jul 21, 2026. Zealthy totals derived from advertised medication-only rates ($199/$329) plus advertised membership fee ($135/mo), not verified at checkout. PlexusDx prepaid rates reflect per-month equivalents for 6-month commitment, billed upfront. No multi-month committed rates were published or verified for Embody or Zealthy as of capture dates.

At verified month-to-month rates, Embody's semaglutide costs $3,588 over 12 months versus PlexusDx's month-to-month total of $2,268—a difference of $1,320 annually, our calculation. For tirzepatide, Embody's verified 12-month cost is $4,188 versus PlexusDx's month-to-month $3,468, a $720 difference. Zealthy's advertised structure would yield higher totals than Embody if the published medication and membership fees are additive, but we cannot confirm final checkout costs or whether other fees apply.

Decision factors: where the evidence lands

Embody's verified strengths

Embody offers checkout-confirmed all-in pricing with no membership fee, a structure that eliminates monthly add-ons and simplifies budgeting. The verified rates—$299 for semaglutide, $349 for tirzepatide—include unlimited provider visits and 24/7 clinical chat support, documented in our July 2026 capture. The 6-month money-back guarantee (headline captured; full conditions not verified) provides a risk-reduction mechanism uncommon among GLP-1 telehealth programs. Month-to-month cancellation is confirmed. As of July 2026, Embody offers injectable formats only; no oral or microdose options were documented.

Zealthy's data gaps

Zealthy's advertised pricing separates medication costs ($199 semaglutide, $329 tirzepatide) from a $135/month membership fee, but we have not verified this structure at checkout or documented what the membership includes. The combined monthly total—$334 for semaglutide or $464 for tirzepatide—is our arithmetic from advertised components, not a captured all-in figure. We do not have evidence for Zealthy's refund policy, cancellation terms, clinical support model, medication formats beyond the compound names, or whether additional fees apply. Readers considering Zealthy should confirm final pricing, inclusions, and terms at checkout before committing.

Where PlexusDx fits

PlexusDx publishes verified all-in rates at $189/month for semaglutide injection and $289/month for tirzepatide injection on month-to-month billing, with lower prepaid rates for 3-month and 6-month commitments ($149/month semaglutide, $249/month tirzepatide at 6-month prepaid per-month equivalent). The program includes asynchronous messaging with licensed providers and follow-up visits in the base price. Unlike Embody, PlexusDx offers oral capsule and microdose injection formats. First-order refunds are available within 30 days of shipment if the medication is unused and unopened. For readers seeking the lowest verified month-to-month injectable rate in this comparison, PlexusDx's $189 semaglutide and $289 tirzepatide hold that position. For readers who prefer 24/7 live chat and a 6-month guarantee over lowest cost, Embody's verified structure may justify the premium.

Choose Embody if…

• You want verified all-in pricing with no membership fee and a 6-month money-back guarantee (headline terms captured; full conditions should be confirmed).
• 24/7 clinical chat support and unlimited provider visits are priorities, and you are willing to pay $299–$349/month for that access.
• You prefer injectable formats and do not require oral or microdose options.
• Transparent, checkout-confirmed pricing matters more than having the lowest monthly rate.

Choose Zealthy if…

• You are comfortable confirming final pricing, membership inclusions, refund terms, and cancellation policy at checkout, as we have not yet verified these details.
• The advertised medication-only rates ($199/$329) plus membership fee structure appeals to you, and you want to evaluate what the membership covers before deciding.
• You are willing to navigate a two-component billing model (medication + membership) rather than a single all-in rate.

Readers should verify all Zealthy terms, costs, and inclusions during signup. The figures in this comparison are advertised only and have not been confirmed at checkout as of July 2026.

Choose PlexusDx if…

• Lowest verified month-to-month cost is the priority: $189 semaglutide, $289 tirzepatide, with no membership fee.
• You want the option to prepay for 3 or 6 months at lower per-month equivalents ($149 semaglutide, $249 tirzepatide at 6-month prepaid rate).
• Format flexibility matters—you want access to oral capsules or microdose injection alongside standard injectable protocols.
• You prefer asynchronous provider messaging and are comfortable without 24/7 live chat, accepting the trade-off for lower cost.

Methodology and freshness

We captured Embody's pricing and features via checkout verification on July 21, 2026, and cross-referenced those figures against a July 20, 2026 table entry, finding consistent $299 semaglutide and $349 tirzepatide all-in rates with no membership fee. Zealthy's advertised pricing ($199/$329 medication-only plus $135/month membership) was captured from its own published materials on July 20, 2026, but we have not completed Zealthy's signup flow or verified final checkout costs, inclusions, or terms. The combined Zealthy monthly totals ($334 semaglutide, $464 tirzepatide) are our calculations from the separate advertised line items, not captured all-in figures. All 12-month cost projections are our calculations, multiplying monthly rates by 12. PlexusDx pricing reflects standard ongoing rates and prepaid totals only, verified at the dates shown. Readers should confirm current pricing, especially for Zealthy, at each provider's checkout as structures and rates may change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Embody's $299 semaglutide rate include the provider visit and medication shipping?

Yes. We verified at checkout in July 2026 that Embody's published $299/month rate for semaglutide injection is all-in, covering the provider visit, prescription, compounded medication, and shipping with no separate membership fee. The same structure applies to its $349 tirzepatide rate.

What does Zealthy's $135/month membership fee cover?

We do not have verified documentation of what Zealthy's membership includes. The $135/month fee is advertised separately from medication costs, but we have not captured checkout details, terms of service, or a breakdown of membership benefits. Readers should confirm membership inclusions directly with Zealthy during signup.

Can I get a refund if GLP-1 treatment does not work for me?

Embody advertises a 6-month money-back guarantee; we captured the headline claim but have not verified the full terms or conditions. Zealthy's refund policy is not documented in our sources. PlexusDx offers first-order refunds within 30 days of shipment if the medication is unused and unopened. Review each provider's specific refund terms before starting treatment.

Are these prices for brand-name Ozempic and Mounjaro or compounded versions?

All three providers discussed here dispense compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, not brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound. 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.

Which provider offers the lowest verified cost for semaglutide injection over 12 months?

Among the programs in this comparison with verified checkout data, PlexusDx's month-to-month rate of $189/month yields a 12-month total of $2,268 (our calculation), the lowest verified figure. Embody's verified 12-month total is $3,588 at $299/month. Zealthy's advertised structure would total $4,008 over 12 months (our calculation), but this figure is unverified and should be confirmed at checkout.
