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

GLP-1 programs divide into two economic models: all-inclusive pricing (medication, clinician access, and shipping in one figure) and separate membership fees (where you pay a monthly program fee plus medication cost). As of September 2026, monthly membership fees range from zero to $199, adding $156 to $2,388 per year to your total cost. PlexusDx, Henry Meds, Hims & Hers, Peak Wellness, TrimRx, Embody, OrderlyMeds, and MEDVi charge no separate membership fee. Ro, Eden, Mochi Health, Noom Med, LifeMD, PlushCare, Calibrate, Form Health, IVIM Health, WeightWatchers Clinic, and Found layer membership fees on top of medication or require program enrollment. The lowest total monthly cost for compounded semaglutide appears at PlexusDx ($149/month on the six-month plan) and Mochi Health ($99 starting, membership structure unclear after the first-month promotion). The membership-fee model can deliver value when coaching, dietitian access, or labs justify the extra cost; it can also create surprise billing if the fee structure is unclear at sign-up.

At-a-glance membership fee comparison

All figures verified September 4–9, 2026, except PlexusDx (July 17–23, 2026). MTM = month-to-month. Effective rates for prepaid plans are our calculation. Confirm current pricing at checkout.

The all-inclusive model: no separate membership fee

Eight providers charge one monthly price that covers clinician access, medication, and shipping with no separate membership fee:

• PlexusDx: compounded semaglutide injection $189/month month-to-month, $169/month on the three-month plan, $149/month on the six-month plan; compounded tirzepatide injection $289/month month-to-month, $269/month three-month, $249/month six-month. No fee added at any dose. (Verified July 17–23, 2026.)
• Henry Meds: compounded semaglutide injection $297/month monthly subscription; six- and twelve-month prepay plans lower the effective rate. (Verified September 4, 2026.)
• Hims & Hers: compounded semaglutide $199/month effective when paid as a six-month bundle ($1,194 upfront). (Verified September 4, 2026.)
• Peak Wellness: compounded semaglutide $249/month ongoing; compounded tirzepatide $349/month ongoing; six-month prepay plans reduce the per-month rate. (Verified July 17–23, 2026.)
• TrimRx: compounded semaglutide $299/month ongoing (verified at checkout, despite $199 advertised); compounded tirzepatide $399/month ongoing (verified at checkout, despite $349 advertised). Three-, six-, and twelve-month plans charged upfront lower the effective rate. (Verified July 17–23, 2026.)
• Embody: compounded semaglutide $299/month ongoing; compounded tirzepatide $349/month ongoing. Same price at every dose. (Verified July 17–23, 2026.)
• OrderlyMeds: compounded semaglutide two-month starter $149 upfront ($74.50/month effective), then $149/month ongoing; compounded tirzepatide two-month starter $299 upfront ($149.50/month effective), then $299/month ongoing. (Verified September 4, 2026.)
• MEDVi: compounded semaglutide injection $179 first month, $299 refill; no separate membership fee advertised for the compounded track. (Verified September 4, 2026.)

Under this model the advertised price is the total recurring charge. You know the monthly cost before sign-up, and every item—clinician visit, prescription, medication, shipping—is included.

The separate-fee model: membership plus medication

Nine providers charge a recurring membership or program fee in addition to medication cost:

• Ro: $149/month membership month-to-month (or $89/month on six-month prepay, $74/month on annual prepay) for the clinical program; medication purchased separately. Wegovy pill $149/month starting dose (higher doses up to $299); Zepbound injection $299/month starting dose (higher doses up to $449). Total effective monthly cost on month-to-month membership: $298–$448 for brand-name GLP-1. (Verified September 4, 2026.)
• Eden: $39 first month then $99/month ongoing membership; compounded semaglutide $99/month medication, compounded tirzepatide $199/month medication. Total ongoing: $198/month semaglutide, $298/month tirzepatide. (Verified September 4, 2026.)
• Mochi Health: $39 first-month membership; compounded semaglutide starting dose $60/month medication, compounded tirzepatide starting dose $90/month medication. Total starting: $99 semaglutide, $129 tirzepatide. Confirm ongoing membership cost after the promotional first month; higher doses follow a per-dose pricing model. (Verified September 4, 2026.)
• LifeMD: $39 first month then $149/month ongoing membership; Wegovy pill 1.5 mg $149/month medication (25 mg $299), Zepbound vial $299/month medication starting dose. Membership covers clinician, coaching, and labs; medication billed separately. Cancel anytime. Total ongoing: $298–$448. (Verified September 4, 2026.)
• PlushCare: 30 days free, then $19.99/month membership (or $149/year annual, $12.42/month effective); $129 initial self-pay visit; prescriptions sent to an external pharmacy (medication cost variable). Total recurring: $19.99/month membership plus pharmacy cost. (Verified September 4, 2026.)
• Calibrate: $199/month Metabolic Reset membership for a twelve-month term; medication, labs, and copays billed separately. Limited refund policy. Total: $199/month plus medication. (Verified September 4, 2026.)
• Form Health: $299/month self-pay membership covering physician, dietitian, and messaging; labs and medications billed separately. FDA-approved options only (Zepbound, Wegovy, Saxenda); no compounded offerings. Total: $299/month plus medication. (Verified September 4, 2026.)
• IVIM Health: $75/month membership (first month free); medication sold in prepaid bundles. Compounded semaglutide advertised from $100/month, compounded tirzepatide from $183.33/month. Total: $75/month membership plus medication bundle. (Verified September 4, 2026.)
• WeightWatchers Clinic: Med+ membership $25/month for the first two months then $74/month on a twelve-month plan; medication generally extra. Wegovy pill $149/month starting dose (higher doses up to $299). Commitment applies. Total: $74/month membership plus medication. (Verified September 4, 2026.)
• Found: Medication-inclusive membership on a twelve-month plan: insurance-support track $99/month effective ($1,188 upfront), cash-pay track $169/month effective ($2,028 upfront). Month-to-month options: $199 insurance-support, $289 cash-pay. Compounded medication included; brand-name billed separately. Total for compounded GLP-1: $99–$289/month depending on plan. (Verified September 4, 2026.)
• Noom Med: Core Med membership $129/month billed quarterly, medication excluded. Microdose GLP-1Rx $79 introductory three-week subscription plus four weeks medication, then $179/month for a twelve-week subscription. Total varies by track. (Verified September 4, 2026.)

Twelve-month total cost comparison

When you add membership fees to medication costs over one year, the economic picture shifts. The table below shows the total annual cost for compounded semaglutide on each provider's month-to-month or standard ongoing plan (all figures our calculation, using the verified pricing above):

All twelve-month totals are our calculation. MTM = month-to-month. Brand = FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1 (Wegovy, Zepbound). Figures verified September 4–9, 2026, except PlexusDx and certain competitors (July 17–23, 2026).

Over one year, membership fees add $156 (PlushCare annual plan) to $2,388 (Calibrate twelve-month term, medication excluded) to the base medication cost. The lowest compounded semaglutide annual total on a flexible month-to-month or ongoing plan appears at PlexusDx ($2,268 month-to-month, $1,788 on the six-month plan) and OrderlyMeds ($1,788 after the starter period).

When does a membership fee make sense?

A membership fee can deliver value when the program includes services beyond basic clinician access and prescription fulfillment. Evidence from the verified pricing data shows which programs bundle additional services into the membership tier:

• Coaching and behavioral support: Calibrate ($199/month), Form Health ($299/month), LifeMD ($149/month after first), and WeightWatchers ($74/month on twelve-month plan) include coaching or messaging access with a care team.
• Registered dietitian access: Form Health includes physician and dietitian access in the $299/month membership.
• Labs included or covered: LifeMD membership includes labs; Calibrate and Form Health bill labs separately despite the program fee.
• Insurance navigation: Found offers an insurance-support track ($99/month effective on annual prepay, $199/month month-to-month) where the program helps submit prior authorizations and appeals; medication is included for compounded options.
• Flexible provider network: PlushCare ($19.99/month after trial) connects members to a network for follow-up visits; prescriptions route to external pharmacies, and the $129 self-pay visit is billed separately.

The membership model works when the bundled services match your needs and you would otherwise pay separately for coaching, labs, or dietitian consultations. It does not deliver value when the fee covers only basic clinician access that is already included in competing all-inclusive programs.

When does the all-inclusive model win?

The all-inclusive model—no separate membership fee, one monthly price—offers clarity and typically lower total cost when your primary need is medication and clinician oversight. The evidence from September 2026 shows:

• Lowest total monthly cost: PlexusDx $149/month (six-month plan), OrderlyMeds $149/month (after the two-month starter), and Mochi Health $99/month (starting dose, first-month promotional membership).
• Predictable recurring charges: No risk of surprise billing for a program fee you forgot or assumed was promotional.
• Dose-independent pricing: PlexusDx and Embody charge the same monthly rate at every dose; no per-milligram escalation as your clinician titrates up.
• No contract lock-in: PlexusDx, Henry Meds, and LifeMD (despite the membership fee) allow month-to-month cancellation; Calibrate requires a twelve-month term, WeightWatchers locks you into an annual or six-month plan, and Found requires twelve-month prepay for the lowest rates.

The all-inclusive model works when you do not need separate coaching, when your provider can answer questions via secure message or scheduled follow-up, and when you want the advertised price to be the total price.

Hidden fees and billing surprises

The membership-fee model introduces complexity that can lead to billing confusion. Trustpilot evidence captured September 4, 2026, documents reported experiences across several programs:

• Ro (4.2-star, Trustpilot): Individual reports describe confusion over separate membership and medication costs, prior-authorization friction, and customer service responsiveness issues.
• WeightWatchers Clinic (4.0-star, 4,646 reviews, Trustpilot): Anecdotal complaints include charges after attempted cancellation, annual or six-month lock-in, insurance denials after enrollment, and slow clinical communication.
• OrderlyMeds (3.6-star, ~634 reviews, Trustpilot): Negative themes include fast charging but slow refunds, non-response to inquiries, delayed shipping, unannounced pharmacy changes, and unwanted calls or texts after opt-out.
• Hims & Hers (10,094 reviews, Trustpilot): Reported concerns include perceived lack of efficacy (a medication response issue, not a fee issue), side effects, and regret after an uncancelled renewal charged the account.

These are individual reports and allegations captured from public review platforms; they do not establish that every customer experiences these issues. They do show that multi-layer billing (membership plus medication, or membership plus visit plus pharmacy) creates more points of failure and more customer service interactions when something goes wrong.

Provider reliability and service quality

Low membership fees or no fees are only valuable if the provider delivers medication reliably and responds when you need support. Trustpilot evidence captured September 4 and 9, 2026, provides context:

• PlexusDx: 4.3-star rating, 79% five-star reviews, 83% four-star or higher (Trustpilot, captured September 9, 2026).
• Henry Meds: 4.4-star, ~13,000 reviews (Trustpilot, captured September 4, 2026).
• Mochi Health: 4.5-star, ~18,000 reviews; one captured example reports a provider appearing late and not engaging (Trustpilot, captured September 4, 2026).
• Eden: 4.5-star, ~5,000 reviews; one captured one-star review alleges an eleven-day order delay and repeated records requests (Trustpilot, captured September 4, 2026).
• Noom Med: 4.5-star, 67,000 reviews (profile-wide, not GLP-1-specific; Trustpilot, captured September 4, 2026).
• Found: 4.1-star, ~732 reviews (Trustpilot, captured September 4, 2026).

A high membership fee does not guarantee high service quality, and a zero-fee model does not imply bare-bones support. Compare both pricing structure and review evidence before committing to a twelve-month plan or large prepayment.

Tirzepatide membership and total-cost comparison

Tirzepatide (the compound in Mounjaro and Zepbound) costs more than semaglutide at every provider. The membership-fee vs all-inclusive split remains the same, but total monthly costs rise. The table below shows verified compounded tirzepatide pricing where available (figures verified September 4, 2026, except where noted):

All figures verified September 4, 2026, except PlexusDx, Peak Wellness, TrimRx, Embody (July 17–23, 2026). MTM = month-to-month. Confirm current pricing at checkout.

Over twelve months on a month-to-month or standard ongoing plan, compounded tirzepatide total costs range from $1,548 (Mochi Health starting dose, if the $39 first-month membership does not recur—structure unclear) to $4,788 (TrimRx verified checkout rate). PlexusDx six-month tirzepatide plan totals $2,988 annually; Eden (membership plus medication) totals $3,537 annually (our calculation, including the $39 first-month discount).

Choose a membership-fee program if…

• You want dedicated coaching, behavioral support, or registered dietitian access and would otherwise pay separately for those services.
• You need help navigating insurance prior authorizations and appeals (Found's insurance-support track at $99/month effective on annual prepay).
• You prefer a flexible provider network where prescriptions route to your preferred pharmacy (PlushCare $19.99/month plus visit and pharmacy costs).
• The membership tier includes labs at no extra charge, and your clinician recommends regular metabolic panels.
• You have confirmed the total monthly cost (membership plus medication plus any visit or lab fees) and it fits your budget over the required commitment period.

Choose an all-inclusive program if…

• You want one predictable monthly charge with no separate program fee.
• You do not need weekly coaching check-ins or dedicated dietitian consultations.
• You prefer month-to-month flexibility with no twelve-month contract or large upfront prepayment.
• You want the same price at every dose as your clinician adjusts your prescription (PlexusDx, Embody).
• You value transparency: the advertised price is the total recurring price, with medication, clinician access, and shipping included.

Choose PlexusDx if…

• You want compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide with no separate membership fee, no upfront commitment, and the same price at every dose.
• You prefer month-to-month flexibility or want the option to lock in a lower rate with a three- or six-month plan (semaglutide $169 or $149/month, tirzepatide $269 or $249/month).
• You value a 4.3-star Trustpilot rating with 79% five-star reviews and 83% four-star or higher, indicating consistent service quality and delivery reliability.
• You want a licensed provider to review your intake, determine fit, and prescribe the appropriate medication without requiring a separate coaching membership or program enrollment fee.

Methodology and freshness

We captured pricing, membership-fee structures, and plan details from provider websites and verified checkout flows between July 17 and September 9, 2026. PlexusDx pricing verified July 17–23, 2026; competitor pricing verified September 4, 2026; PlexusDx Trustpilot rating verified September 9, 2026; competitor Trustpilot data verified September 4, 2026. Twelve-month total costs are our calculation, multiplying the verified monthly rate by twelve (or dividing prepaid annual or multi-month charges by the number of months covered). Where a provider advertises one price but checkout shows a different figure (TrimRx semaglutide $199 advertised vs $299 verified, tirzepatide $349 advertised vs $399 verified), we report both and note the conflict. Review themes are paraphrased from individual Trustpilot reviews; we cite the platform, capture date, and describe reports as allegations or anecdotes, not established fact patterns. 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. PlexusDx works with licensed 503A compounding pharmacies. We do not guarantee eligibility, medication availability, dose, uninterrupted transfers, results, or side-effect outcomes. Confirm current pricing, membership terms, commitment periods, and cancellation policies at checkout before enrolling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which GLP-1 providers charge no membership fee?

PlexusDx, Henry Meds, Hims & Hers, Peak Wellness, TrimRx, Embody, OrderlyMeds, and MEDVi charge no separate membership fee as of September 2026. The advertised monthly price covers clinician access, medication, and shipping in one charge. Some offer lower per-month rates when you prepay for three, six, or twelve months, but no recurring program fee is added on top of the medication cost.

What is the lowest total monthly cost for compounded semaglutide?

The lowest verified ongoing rate for compounded semaglutide is $149/month at PlexusDx (six-month plan) and OrderlyMeds (after the two-month starter period), both with no separate membership fee. Mochi Health advertises $99/month starting dose (including first-month membership and medication), but the ongoing membership cost after the promotional first month is unclear; confirm at checkout before committing.

Do membership fees include medication, or is medication billed separately?

It varies by provider. Found includes compounded medication in the membership fee ($99–$289/month depending on plan and payment schedule). Ro, Eden, Mochi Health, LifeMD, Calibrate, Form Health, IVIM Health, and WeightWatchers Clinic charge membership separately from medication; you pay both each month. PlushCare membership ($19.99/month) covers network access and messaging; the $129 visit and pharmacy medication cost are billed separately. Always confirm what the membership fee includes before sign-up.

Can I cancel a GLP-1 membership without penalty?

Month-to-month plans at PlexusDx, Henry Meds, and LifeMD allow cancellation anytime with no penalty. Calibrate requires a twelve-month term with a limited refund policy. WeightWatchers locks you into an annual or six-month plan. Found requires twelve-month prepayment for the lowest rates ($99 or $169/month effective). Review the cancellation and refund policy in the terms of service before enrolling, especially if the provider advertises a promotional first-month rate.

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. PlexusDx works with licensed 503A compounding pharmacies. Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not the same as brand-name Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Zepbound, and they have not undergone the same regulatory review process.
