The short answer

Henry Meds charges $297 per month for compounded semaglutide injection on a month-to-month basis, with no insurance required and no membership fee. Oral sublingual semaglutide tablets are $249 per month. Both prices include the provider visit, medication, supplies, and shipping. Prepaid multi-month plans reduce the effective monthly rate—injectable semaglutide drops to a $197-per-month equivalent on a 12-month commitment that requires $2,364 upfront—but you pay all at once and may owe the remaining balance if you cancel early. PlexusDx charges $189 per month for injectable semaglutide with no upfront commitment and no membership fee, which works out to $1,296 less per year on month-to-month plans. Henry's oral semaglutide is $40 per month cheaper than PlexusDx's oral option, though both are month-to-month cash rates.

Henry Meds cash-pay pricing: month-to-month rates

Henry Meds does not bill insurance and does not charge a membership fee. The monthly subscription rate is all-inclusive: provider visit, medication, supplies, and shipping.

Compounded injectable semaglutide is $297 per month on a month-to-month billing cycle. You can cancel at any time through your account portal, by emailing ask@henrymeds.com, or by calling 909-787-2342. Most members receive their first shipment within 8–10 business days after the provider consultation; subsequent injectable refills ship every 45 days as prescribed. California residents may experience longer fulfillment times due to additional compound testing requirements.

Compounded sublingual (oral) semaglutide tablets are $249 per month billed monthly. Oral tablets ship every 90 days as prescribed.

Henry also offers a "premium" semaglutide tablets/drops option at an introductory rate of $179 per month and compounded liraglutide injection at an introductory rate of $179 per month, both billed monthly; confirm ongoing refill pricing with Henry directly. The company advertises an injectable microdose GLP-1 that "starts at $179/month," though we have not verified refill pricing or eligibility criteria. All figures were captured from henrymeds.com on September 4 and 17, 2026.

Henry Meds prepaid multi-month plans

Prepaid plans require full upfront payment and reduce the effective monthly rate. If you cancel a multi-month plan, you may be required to pay the remaining balance unless a healthcare provider determines you are medically unable to continue.

Injectable semaglutide prepaid options

• 6-month plan: $1,482 paid in full upfront, which equals a $247-per-month equivalent rate (our calculation).
• 12-month plan: $2,364 paid in full upfront, which equals a $197-per-month equivalent rate (our calculation).

Over 12 months, the 12-month prepaid plan works out to $1,200 less than paying $297 per month for a year ($3,564 month-to-month vs. $2,364 prepaid—our calculation).

Oral sublingual semaglutide prepaid options

• 6-month plan: $1,014 paid in full upfront, which equals a $169-per-month equivalent rate (our calculation).
• 12-month plan: $1,788 paid in full upfront, which equals a $149-per-month equivalent rate (our calculation).

Liraglutide prepaid options

• 6-month plan: $894 paid in full upfront, which equals a $149-per-month equivalent rate (our calculation).
• 12-month plan: $1,428 paid in full upfront, which equals a $119-per-month equivalent rate (our calculation).

Oral tirzepatide and oral semaglutide 3-month supply plans

Henry lists a compounded oral tirzepatide plan—delivered as a dissolving tablet, not an injection—at $891 upfront for a 3-month supply, which equals a $297-per-month equivalent rate (our calculation). The same legal/programs page captured September 4, 2026 describes this plan as both "3 months supply" and as delivered "every 60 days for 6 months," which is internally inconsistent. We also found no published month-to-month rate for oral tirzepatide. Confirm the plan duration, refill cadence, and ongoing rate at checkout before committing.

Henry also lists a compounded oral semaglutide 3-month supply plan at $537 upfront ($179-per-month equivalent—our calculation). The source paragraph for this plan incorrectly names tirzepatide in one sentence, indicating a copy error on Henry's legal page. Both 3-month plans may differ from the monthly sublingual tablet option described above; confirm medication form and ongoing pricing with Henry directly.

All prepaid rates and upfront totals were captured September 4 and 17, 2026 from henrymeds.com.

PlexusDx cash-pay pricing: month-to-month and multi-month

PlexusDx charges $189 per month for compounded injectable semaglutide on a month-to-month plan, with no membership fee, no upfront commitment, and the freedom to cancel at any time. The price includes the online provider visit, prescription, medication, and shipping. The same $189 rate applies at every dose—there is no step-up pricing as you titrate.

PlexusDx offers two multi-month discounts for injectable semaglutide, both paid upfront:

• 3-month plan: $169 per month—$507 total for 3 months.
• 6-month plan: $149 per month—$894 total for 6 months.

PlexusDx does not sell a 12-month injectable semaglutide plan.

Compounded oral semaglutide capsules are $289 per month on a month-to-month basis, $40 per month more than Henry's oral sublingual tablets. PlexusDx also offers injectable tirzepatide at $289 per month month-to-month, $269 per month on a 3-month plan, and $249 per month on a 6-month plan. Henry does not sell injectable tirzepatide; its oral tirzepatide option is not a like-for-like comparison.

All PlexusDx pricing was captured July 20, 2026 from plexusdx.com.

12-month cost comparison: injectable semaglutide

The clearest head-to-head comparison is injectable semaglutide over 12 months, evaluated at three commitment levels: month-to-month, 6-month prepaid, and Henry's 12-month prepaid option.

Month-to-month over 12 months

• Henry Meds: 12 × $297 = $3,564 (our calculation).
• PlexusDx: 12 × $189 = $2,268 (our calculation).
• PlexusDx saves $1,296 per year on month-to-month billing (our calculation).

6-month prepaid plans over 12 months (two cycles)

• Henry Meds: 2 × $1,482 = $2,964 (our calculation).
• PlexusDx: 2 × $894 = $1,788 (our calculation).
• PlexusDx saves $1,176 per year on 6-month plans (our calculation).

Henry 12-month prepaid vs. PlexusDx 6-month annualized

• Henry Meds 12-month plan: $2,364 paid upfront, which equals a $197-per-month equivalent rate (our calculation).
• PlexusDx 6-month plan (two cycles): $1,788 total over 12 months at a $149-per-month equivalent rate (our calculation).
• PlexusDx saves $576 per year vs. Henry's 12-month plan, even though PlexusDx does not require a full-year commitment (our calculation).

12-month cost comparison: oral semaglutide

For oral semaglutide, Henry's month-to-month rate is $40 per month less than PlexusDx's.

• Henry Meds sublingual tablets: 12 × $249 = $2,988 per year (our calculation).
• PlexusDx oral capsules: 12 × $289 = $3,468 per year (our calculation).
• Henry saves $480 per year on oral semaglutide month-to-month (our calculation).

Henry's 12-month prepaid oral semaglutide plan ($1,788 upfront, $149-per-month equivalent—our calculation) is substantially cheaper than PlexusDx's oral option but requires full payment upfront and may incur a cancellation penalty.

Tirzepatide: no like-for-like comparison

Henry offers compounded oral tirzepatide only, delivered as a dissolving tablet, with pricing that appears to start at a $297-per-month equivalent for a 3-month supply ($891 upfront). We found no published month-to-month rate, and Henry's legal page contains conflicting copy about whether the plan is 3 months or 6 months. Henry does not sell injectable tirzepatide.

PlexusDx sells injectable tirzepatide at $289 per month month-to-month, $269 per month on a 3-month plan, or $249 per month on a 6-month plan. Because the medication form and delivery route differ, no valid price comparison exists between Henry's oral tirzepatide and PlexusDx's injectable tirzepatide.

Eligibility and approval process

Both Henry Meds and PlexusDx require a licensed healthcare provider to review your health and medical history before prescribing GLP-1 medication. Neither program guarantees that you will be approved, that a specific medication or dose will be prescribed, or that treatment will produce a particular result.

Henry Meds accepts patients ages 18–70. The initial evaluation is free and carries no obligation; you are charged only after a provider writes a prescription. Most Henry members receive medication within 8–10 business days of the consultation.

PlexusDx conducts an online intake that takes about 60 seconds. A licensed provider reviews your submission and determines whether GLP-1 treatment is appropriate. You are not charged until the provider approves your prescription.

Service quality and reported customer experience

Henry Meds holds a 4.4-star rating on Trustpilot with approximately 13,000 reviews captured in September 2026. The large review volume and high average rating indicate broad customer satisfaction. Individual complaints on Trustpilot and Reddit—captured between July and September 2026—mention shipping delays, difficulty reaching customer service by phone or email, and inconsistent responses to refill or transfer requests. These reports are individual anecdotes and do not necessarily reflect the typical Henry Meds experience; thousands of reviews are positive.

PlexusDx holds a 4.3-star rating on Trustpilot, with 79 percent of reviews at five stars and 83 percent at four stars or higher (captured September 9, 2026; trustpilot.com/review/plexusdx.com).

When comparing cash-pay programs with similar pricing, service responsiveness, shipping reliability, and ease of communication become decision factors. If you choose Henry Meds, confirm the customer-service contact methods and typical response times during your initial consultation. If you choose PlexusDx, confirm the refill schedule and cancellation procedure before your first charge.

Insurance, FSA, and HSA

Neither Henry Meds nor PlexusDx bills insurance for compounded GLP-1 medications. Both are direct-pay programs. Some customers use a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) debit card to pay for the subscription; check your plan's eligible-expense list and keep your receipt and prescription documentation. Neither provider guarantees FSA or HSA reimbursement.

Deciding between Henry Meds and PlexusDx: three paths

Choose Henry Meds if…

• You want oral (sublingual) semaglutide and prefer the lowest month-to-month rate. Henry charges $249 per month vs. PlexusDx's $289 per month for oral semaglutide capsules.
• You are comfortable committing to a 12-month prepaid plan for injectable semaglutide and can pay $2,364 upfront to lock in a $197-per-month equivalent rate. PlexusDx does not offer a 12-month injectable plan.
• You are considering liraglutide or the "premium" semaglutide formulation advertised at an introductory rate, which PlexusDx does not sell.
• You value a large Trustpilot review base (approximately 13,000 reviews) as a signal of program scale and track record.

Choose PlexusDx if…

• You want the lowest month-to-month rate for injectable semaglutide with no upfront commitment. PlexusDx charges $189 per month, which is $108 per month less than Henry's $297 standard rate and saves $1,296 per year on month-to-month billing (our calculation).
• You prefer a 6-month commitment over a 12-month commitment. PlexusDx's 6-month injectable semaglutide plan costs $894 upfront ($149 per month), which is $588 less than Henry's 6-month plan and still saves you money vs. Henry's 12-month plan when annualized (our calculation).
• You want injectable tirzepatide, which Henry does not sell. PlexusDx offers injectable tirzepatide at $289 per month month-to-month or $249 per month on a 6-month plan.
• You want the flexibility to cancel a multi-month plan without a financial penalty. PlexusDx's 3-month and 6-month plans are prepaid but shorter than Henry's 12-month option, and Henry's multi-month terms may require you to pay the remaining balance if you cancel early.
• You value same-price-at-every-dose simplicity. PlexusDx charges $189 per month for injectable semaglutide whether you are at 0.25 mg or 2.4 mg.

Where PlexusDx fits for injectable semaglutide

If your priority is injectable semaglutide and you value the freedom to cancel without penalty, PlexusDx delivers the lowest month-to-month cash-pay rate we verified: $189 per month with no membership fee, no upfront commitment, and no step-up pricing as you titrate. Over 12 months, you save $1,296 vs. Henry's month-to-month rate and $576 vs. Henry's 12-month prepaid plan—without locking in a full year (our calculations). The 6-month PlexusDx plan brings the rate down to $149 per month ($894 upfront), which is still $588 less than Henry's 6-month plan and gives you flexibility to reassess at the 6-month mark.

Methodology and freshness

All 12-month cost totals, per-month prepaid equivalents, and savings figures are our calculations based on the published rates; we label them as such in the text. When Henry's source material contained internal conflicts—such as the oral tirzepatide plan duration—we stated the conflict plainly and advised confirming at checkout. We applied the same evidence standard to PlexusDx and Henry Meds. Prices, terms, and medication availability may change; confirm all figures and plan details on the provider's website or during your intake consultation before committing.
