The short answer

Fridays Health charges $389 per month for compounded tirzepatide on its standard month-to-month plan, captured from its product page September 4, 2026. The program bundles unlimited provider visits, one-on-one dietitian support, nutrition and mental-health coaching, and free shipping with no membership fee.

Four prepaid or promotional commitment plans reduce the effective monthly rate: a three-month prepaid plan runs $298.67 per month ($896 upfront), a six-month prepaid plan runs $275 per month ($1,650 upfront), a 12-month prepaid plan runs $240 per month ($2,880 upfront), and a 4-for-3 promotional plan (pay for three months, receive the fourth free) runs $224 per month over four months ($896 upfront). All prepaid figures are our calculation from advertised totals.

Fridays' standard month-to-month rate sits $100 higher than PlexusDx's $289 month-to-month tirzepatide injection; over 12 months the gap is $1,200 ($4,668 vs. $3,468). Fridays' 4-for-3 promotional plan beats PlexusDx's six-month standing rate by $300 over 12 months ($2,688 vs. $2,988), but requires three $896 upfront payments. Below we normalize every scenario, show the true 12-month cost, and identify where each option wins.

Fridays tirzepatide plans and pricing breakdown

Fridays offers five distinct tirzepatide plans, verified from its product pages September 4, 2026. Every plan includes compounded tirzepatide injection, unlimited provider visits, one-on-one dietitian support, nutrition coaching, mental-health coaching, and free shipping. No membership fee, no signup fee, and no lab fees apply. All prepaid monthly equivalents below are our calculation from advertised totals.

The $30 difference may reflect a price increase or a variance between marketing and checkout pages. Confirm the final rate at checkout before committing.

True 12-month cost comparison

Advertised monthly rates obscure the real annual commitment. Below we calculate the true 12-month cost under every scenario, using each program's published rates. All prepaid per-month equivalents and totals are our calculation.

Fridays Health 12-month scenarios

Plan Structure 12-month total Effective monthly
Month-to-month $389 × 12 $4,668 $389.00
3-month prepaid (4 cycles) $896 × 4 $3,584 $298.67
4-for-3 promo (3 cycles) $896 × 3 $2,688 $224.00
6-month prepaid (2 cycles) $1,650 × 2 $3,300 $275.00
12-month prepaid $2,880 once $2,880 $240.00

All 12-month totals and effective monthly rates are our calculation from Fridays' published plan prices (September 4, 2026).

PlexusDx 12-month scenarios

Plan Structure 12-month total Effective monthly
Month-to-month $289 × 12 $3,468 $289.00
3-month rate (4 cycles) $269 × 12 $3,228 $269.00
6-month rate (2 cycles) $249 × 12 $2,988 $249.00

PlexusDx multi-month rates are standing published rates, not prepaid totals; you pay the lower rate each month under a multi-month commitment. All 12-month totals are our calculation.

Head-to-head 12-month comparison

Scenario Fridays 12-mo total PlexusDx 12-mo total Difference
Month-to-month $4,668 ($389/mo) $3,468 ($289/mo) PlexusDx −$1,200 (−26%)
Best committed rate $2,688 (4-for-3: $224/mo calc.) $2,988 (6-mo rate: $249/mo) Fridays −$300 (−10%)
6-month commitment $3,300 ($275/mo prepaid calc.) $2,988 ($249/mo) PlexusDx −$312 (−9%)
12-month commitment $2,880 ($240/mo prepaid calc.) $2,988 ($249/mo 6-mo rate) Fridays −$108 (−4%)

All totals and percentage differences are our calculation. Fridays prepaid equivalents require upfront lump-sum payments; PlexusDx multi-month rates are billed at the lower rate each month under commitment.

Key finding: PlexusDx costs $1,200 less over 12 months on a month-to-month basis ($3,468 vs. $4,668, our calculation). Fridays' 4-for-3 promotional plan ($2,688, our calculation) beats PlexusDx's six-month standing rate ($2,988, our calculation) by $300, but requires three $896 upfront payments over the year. Fridays' 12-month prepaid plan ($2,880) beats PlexusDx's six-month rate by $108, but requires the full $2,880 paid at enrollment.

Decision factors

When Fridays' prepaid plans make sense

Fridays' 4-for-3 promotional plan delivers the lowest per-month tirzepatide rate in this comparison—$224 per month over four months (our calculation from the $896 upfront commitment). If you have $896 available every four months and confidence you will stay on treatment for at least a year, the plan saves $300 over 12 months compared to PlexusDx's six-month rate (our calculation).

The 12-month prepaid plan ($2,880 upfront, $240 per month rate) offers a smaller $108 annual saving versus PlexusDx's six-month rate (our calculation), but locks in one year of treatment with a single transaction. That structure suits members who want to pay once and not think about billing again.

When Fridays' month-to-month plan creates risk

At $389 per month, Fridays' standard rate runs $100 higher than PlexusDx's $289 month-to-month tirzepatide injection. Over 12 months the gap is $1,200 (our calculation). If cash flow or uncertainty about treatment duration pushes you toward month-to-month billing, Fridays becomes the more expensive path unless you can commit to a prepaid tier.

Support breadth

Fridays bundles unlimited provider visits, one-on-one dietitian support, nutrition coaching, mental-health coaching, and a dedicated care coach in every plan. PlexusDx includes provider visits and a free PharmD check-in; dietitian and mental-health coaching are not standard inclusions. If you want integrated behavioral and nutrition support without coordinating separate services, Fridays' included coaching may justify its higher baseline rate.

Prepaid commitment vs. monthly flexibility

Every Fridays prepaid plan requires a lump-sum payment: $896 for three months or 4-for-3, $1,650 for six months, $2,880 for 12 months. You pay the full amount before the medication ships. PlexusDx's multi-month rates are standing prices billed monthly under commitment—you pay $249 each month on a six-month plan, not $1,494 upfront. If upfront capital is constrained or you want the security of stopping without forfeiting a large prepayment, PlexusDx's monthly-billed structure reduces financial exposure.

Service reputation

Fridays holds a 4.2-star rating on Trustpilot with approximately 4,700 reviews (captured September 4, 2026). 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). Both programs maintain ratings above 4.0; individual review themes were not captured in the research evidence.

Choose Fridays if…

  • You have $896–$2,880 available upfront and want the lowest possible per-month tirzepatide rate—Fridays' 4-for-3 plan ($224/month our calculation) and 12-month prepaid plan ($240/month our calculation) beat PlexusDx's best rate by $25–$300 annually (our calculation).
  • You value integrated dietitian, nutrition, and mental-health coaching bundled in one program without coordinating separate providers.
  • You prefer paying once per quarter or once per year and not managing monthly billing cycles.
  • You are confident you will stay on treatment for at least the prepaid commitment period and are comfortable forfeiting unused months if you discontinue early.

Choose PlexusDx if…

  • You want the lowest month-to-month tirzepatide rate with no upfront commitment—PlexusDx's $289/month saves $1,200 over 12 months compared to Fridays' $389/month standard rate (our calculation).
  • You prefer monthly billing over lump-sum prepayment—PlexusDx's six-month rate is billed at $249 each month, not $1,494 upfront.
  • You want to minimize financial risk if treatment needs to stop early—monthly billing limits exposure to one month's cost.
  • You value transparent standing multi-month rates that do not require calculating prepaid equivalents or tracking promotional cycles.
  • You want the option to add DNA-guided medication testing ($99 for program members) to personalize medication selection and dosing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Fridays charge a membership fee for tirzepatide?

No. Fridays advertises $0 membership fee, $0 signup fee, and $0 lab fees. The medication price ($389/month standard or prepaid rate) covers compounded tirzepatide, unlimited provider visits, dietitian support, coaching, and free shipping.

What is the difference between Fridays' 3-month prepaid and 4-for-3 plans?

Both require $896 upfront. The three-month prepaid plan delivers three months of medication ($298.67/month our calculation). The 4-for-3 promotional plan delivers four months for the same $896 ($224/month our calculation)—you pay for three and receive the fourth free. The 4-for-3 plan offers the lower effective rate.

Can I cancel a Fridays prepaid plan and get a refund?

The captured evidence does not detail Fridays' refund policy for prepaid commitments. Before paying $896–$2,880 upfront, confirm whether unused months are refundable, whether you can pause treatment and resume later, or whether the full amount is forfeited if you discontinue early.

How does PlexusDx bill its multi-month tirzepatide rates?

PlexusDx's three-month ($269/month) and six-month ($249/month) rates are standing published prices billed monthly under commitment. You pay $249 each month on a six-month plan, not $1,494 upfront. This monthly billing structure reduces upfront cost and limits financial exposure if treatment needs to stop early.

Are Fridays and PlexusDx tirzepatide medications FDA-approved?

No. Both programs use compounded tirzepatide, which is not FDA-approved. 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. Neither program's compounded tirzepatide is the same as branded Mounjaro or Zepbound.
