The short answer

GobyMeds offers compounded tirzepatide at $299 per month or as a three-month prepaid starter bundle for $399 upfront ($133 per month average). The monthly plan covers any dose at a single price; the starter bundle applies to starter-phase dosing only. After the starter period, pricing reverts to the $299 monthly rate regardless of dose. Over 12 months, a patient using the starter bundle then switching to monthly pays $3,090 total (an effective $257.50 per month); staying on monthly plans costs $3,588. GobyMeds includes the provider consult, medication, supplies, and overnight shipping in the stated price with zero membership fees. PlexusDx tirzepatide injection is $289 per month month-to-month or $249 per month on a six-month commitment, the same price at every dose, and saves $120 to $498 over the first year depending on plan structure.

Breaking down GobyMeds tirzepatide plans

Monthly plan: $299 per month, any dose

GobyMeds bills $299 per month for compounded tirzepatide on the monthly plan. The price remains $299 whether a patient is on a 2.5 mg starter dose or a 12.5 mg maintenance dose. The monthly plan requires no upfront payment and no commitment beyond the current billing cycle. Over 12 months, total medication cost is $3,588 ($299 × 12).

Starter bundle: $399 for three months, then $299 monthly

The three-month prepaid starter bundle costs $399 upfront, averaging $133 per month, and covers starter-phase dosing. After the three-month starter period ends, pricing reverts to the standard $299 monthly rate. A patient using the starter bundle for months 1–3, then the monthly plan for months 4–12, pays a total of $3,090 over the first year (our calculation: $399 + $299 × 9), an effective $257.50 per month. The starter bundle approach saves $498 over 12 months compared to paying $299 monthly from day one, but requires $399 due at enrollment and applies only to starter dosing.

What is included

All GobyMeds tirzepatide prices—monthly and prepaid—include the provider consult, prescription, medication, injection supplies, and overnight shipping. GobyMeds charges zero membership fees and zero separate service fees. Every stated price is all-inclusive for that billing period.

GobyMeds vs. PlexusDx tirzepatide: like-for-like pricing

PlexusDx tirzepatide injection is priced at $289 per month on a month-to-month basis, $269 per month with a three-month commitment, or $249 per month with a six-month commitment. The price holds at every dose, and there are no membership fees, hidden charges, or upfront medication costs before provider approval.

Dose flexibility and pricing policy

GobyMeds tirzepatide monthly pricing is dose-agnostic: $299 per month applies whether a patient requires 2.5 mg, 7.5 mg, or the maximum 12.5 mg dose. The starter bundle covers starter-phase dosing at a prepaid average of $133 per month, but once the three-month starter period concludes, the $299 monthly rate applies at every subsequent dose level. Patients do not face a price jump when titrating to higher doses on the monthly plan.

By contrast, GobyMeds semaglutide uses a tiered pricing model with separate prepaid bundles for low-dose (0.2–0.4 mg, $99.67 per month average), mid-dose (up to 1.5 mg, $133 per month average), and high-dose (up to 2.3 mg, $166.33 per month average) tiers. Tirzepatide simplifies this structure: one starter bundle, one monthly rate.

PlexusDx tirzepatide injection holds the same price at every dose across all three commitment tiers—$289 month-to-month, $269 on a three-month commitment, $249 on a six-month commitment—with no separate starter pricing and no dose-driven price tiers.

Hidden fees, membership costs, and billing transparency

GobyMeds charges zero membership fees. The stated monthly or prepaid bundle price includes the initial provider consult, prescription, compounded medication, injection supplies, and overnight shipping. No separate line-item fees for consultations, refills, or delivery appear at checkout. Patients on the monthly plan are billed $299 each month; patients on the starter bundle pay $399 upfront for the first three months, then $299 monthly beginning in month four.

PlexusDx likewise charges no membership fees. The single stated price—$289, $269, or $249 per month depending on commitment length—covers the provider visit, medication, and shipping. No hidden consultation fees, no shipping surcharges, and no separate charges for dose adjustments.

First-year cost scenarios

Scenario A: Month-to-month flexibility, no prepayment

A patient who values month-to-month flexibility and does not want to prepay will choose GobyMeds monthly ($299/month) or PlexusDx month-to-month ($289/month). Over 12 months, GobyMeds totals $3,588 ($299 × 12); PlexusDx totals $3,468 ($289 × 12). PlexusDx saves $120 over the year.

Scenario B: Starter pricing, then standard monthly

A patient willing to prepay $399 for the starter bundle, then continue on GobyMeds monthly, pays $3,090 over 12 months ($399 + $299 × 9). PlexusDx does not offer a separate starter tier; the closest comparison is the six-month commitment at $249 per month, totaling $2,988 over 12 months ($249 × 12). PlexusDx saves $102 over the year and does not require a $399 upfront payment.

Scenario C: Three-month commitment

For a three-month commitment, GobyMeds does not offer a recurring three-month discounted rate—the monthly plan remains $299 per month. Three months on the monthly plan costs $897 ($299 × 3). PlexusDx offers a three-month commitment at $269 per month, totaling $807 over three months ($269 × 3). PlexusDx saves $90 over the three-month period.

• You want a month-to-month plan with zero long-term commitment and are comfortable with the $299 monthly rate.
• You are starting tirzepatide and prefer to prepay $399 for the first three months to lower the effective monthly cost to $133 during the starter phase.
• You value overnight shipping as a standard inclusion and want all supplies bundled into a single monthly or prepaid price.
• You are already using GobyMeds for another compounded GLP-1 and prefer to consolidate care with one provider.
