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

PlexusDx and Eden both offer compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, but they bill differently. Eden charges $99/month for semaglutide medication plus a $99/month membership (total $198/month), and $199/month for tirzepatide medication plus the same $99/month membership (total $298/month). Eden offers a first-month introductory membership rate of $39, which drops the all-in first-month cost to $138 for semaglutide or $238 for tirzepatide; standard ongoing monthly costs are $198 and $298 respectively. PlexusDx bundles everything—consult, prescription, medication, and shipping—in one charge with no separate membership: $189/month for semaglutide injection and $289/month for tirzepatide injection on month-to-month billing. Over 12 months at standard month-to-month rates, PlexusDx costs $2,268 for semaglutide ($108 less than Eden) and $3,468 for tirzepatide ($108 less than Eden). PlexusDx also offers prepaid 3-month and 6-month rates that lower the effective monthly cost further, but Eden operates monthly-only billing. Eden provides a "lose 10% in 6 months or get your money back" guarantee on compounded plans (full terms not captured); PlexusDx does not offer a refund guarantee. Both use compounded medications from licensed pharmacies; a licensed clinician determines prescription fit, formulation, and route for each patient.

Breaking down Eden's medication and membership model

Eden lists medication and membership as separate line items on its checkout page, verified July 19, 2026 and September 4, 2026. The medication charge is $99/month for semaglutide or $199/month for tirzepatide. The membership is a required $99/month recurring charge. Eden advertises a first-month introductory membership rate of $39 (verified September 4, 2026), which means your first-month all-in cost is $138 for semaglutide ($99 medication + $39 membership) or $238 for tirzepatide ($199 medication + $39 membership). From month two onward, the standard ongoing rate applies: $198/month for semaglutide ($99 + $99) and $298/month for tirzepatide ($199 + $99). Both charges recur monthly, and Eden states "cancel anytime" on the checkout page (verified July 19, 2026). Eden's checkout page notes, "Card won't be charged until plan is medically approved within 24 hours" (verified July 19, 2026).

Eden offers a "lose 10% in 6 months or get your money back" guarantee on compounded plans (verified July 19, 2026); full eligibility and refund conditions were not captured. Eden provides compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide; whether you receive injectable or oral formulation is clinician-dependent (verified September 4, 2026). Eden does not offer multi-month prepaid rates or commitment discounts; all billing is monthly-only (verified July 19, 2026).

PlexusDx's all-inclusive, one-charge model

PlexusDx charges one all-inclusive price that covers the online provider visit, prescription, compounded medication, and shipping—no separate membership fee. On month-to-month billing, semaglutide injection is $189/month and tirzepatide injection is $289/month (verified July 17–23, 2026). These are the standard ongoing rates; PlexusDx does not use introductory or promotional pricing. You can cancel month-to-month plans anytime (verified July 19, 2026).

PlexusDx also offers prepaid 3-month and 6-month rates that lower the effective monthly cost. For semaglutide injection, the 3-month rate is $169/month prepaid ($507 charged quarterly) and the 6-month rate is $149/month prepaid ($894 charged biannually). For tirzepatide injection, the 3-month rate is $269/month prepaid ($807 quarterly) and the 6-month rate is $249/month prepaid ($1,494 biannually). All figures verified July 17–23, 2026. PlexusDx charges the same price at every dose (verified July 17–23, 2026). A free Doctor of Pharmacy check-in is included, and an optional gene-based metabolism panel is available for $99 (member rate) or $298 (general rate); the test does not select or predict your medication—a licensed provider makes that determination (verified July 19, 2026).

PlexusDx works with licensed 503A compounding pharmacies and offers semaglutide and tirzepatide in injectable, oral, and microdose formats. The microdose GLP-1 protocol is $129/month month-to-month and is designed for maintenance or patients approaching goal weight (verified July 19, 2026).

Normalized 12-month cost comparison

To compare like-for-like, we use each provider's standard month-to-month rate (post-intro) over 12 months. All 12-month totals below are our calculation.

Semaglutide (12 months, month-to-month)

  • PlexusDx: 12 × $189 = $2,268
  • Eden: 12 × $198 = $2,376
  • Difference: PlexusDx costs $108 less over 12 months

Tirzepatide (12 months, month-to-month)

  • PlexusDx: 12 × $289 = $3,468
  • Eden: 12 × $298 = $3,576
  • Difference: PlexusDx costs $108 less over 12 months

Because Eden does not offer multi-month rates, there is no like-for-like comparison for PlexusDx's 3-month or 6-month prepaid options. For reference only, PlexusDx semaglutide over 12 months costs $2,028 at the 3-month rate (prepaid quarterly, our calculation) or $1,788 at the 6-month rate (prepaid biannually, our calculation). PlexusDx tirzepatide over 12 months costs $3,228 at the 3-month rate (prepaid quarterly, our calculation) or $2,988 at the 6-month rate (prepaid biannually, our calculation). These figures assume you prepay every 3 or 6 months and remain on treatment for a full year.

Decision factors: billing simplicity, guarantees, and multi-month flexibility

Billing structure

Eden's two-charge model means you see separate line items for medication and membership each month. If you cancel, both charges stop. PlexusDx's one-charge model bundles consult, prescription, medication, and shipping; you see one transaction each billing cycle. Both providers state "cancel anytime" for their month-to-month plans (verified July 19, 2026), but PlexusDx's 3-month and 6-month rates require upfront payment for the full period.

First-month cost and standard ongoing cost

Eden's first-month introductory membership rate of $39 (instead of the standard $99) lowers the all-in first-month cost to $138 for semaglutide or $238 for tirzepatide (our calculation, verified September 4, 2026). From month two forward, the ongoing rate is $198/month for semaglutide and $298/month for tirzepatide. PlexusDx charges the same rate every month—$189 for semaglutide injection, $289 for tirzepatide injection—with no introductory discount.

Money-back guarantee

Eden offers a "lose 10% in 6 months or get your money back" guarantee on compounded plans (verified July 19, 2026). Full terms, exclusions, and refund mechanics were not captured in our review. PlexusDx does not offer a refund or weight-loss guarantee. If a money-back policy matters to you, confirm Eden's current guarantee terms and eligibility at checkout.

Multi-month rates and upfront commitment

PlexusDx offers prepaid 3-month and 6-month rates that reduce the effective monthly cost; Eden does not. If you prefer to avoid upfront commitment and want the flexibility to cancel or adjust after any single month, Eden's monthly-only billing or PlexusDx's month-to-month plan both support that. If you're confident in long-term treatment and want the lowest per-month cost, PlexusDx's 6-month semaglutide rate ($149/month prepaid) or 6-month tirzepatide rate ($249/month prepaid) deliver the steepest discount, but you pay the full 6-month charge upfront.

Medication formulation and route

Both providers offer compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide. Eden's website states that injectable and oral availability varies and that formulation is clinician-dependent (verified September 4, 2026). PlexusDx explicitly lists injectable, oral, and microdose options; the prescribing provider determines which formulation and route are appropriate for you. Neither provider guarantees a specific formulation, dose, or route before intake and clinical review.

Reported service experience

Eden's Trustpilot page shows a 4.5-star rating across approximately 5,000 reviews (checked September 4, 2026). An individual 1-star review captured on that date reported an 11-day order delay and repeated requests for medical records that Eden had previously issued; a Reddit thread checked the same day echoed similar anecdotes. These are individual reports and allegations—not verified facts—and may not represent typical outcomes. PlexusDx review evidence was not captured in this packet. If service responsiveness and order fulfillment speed are priorities, consider reviewing recent feedback on both platforms and confirming current turnaround expectations at intake.

Choose Eden if…

  • You want a weight-loss guarantee (lose 10% in 6 months or get your money back, terms apply) and are comfortable with the higher ongoing monthly cost.
  • You prefer monthly-only billing with no option to prepay multiple months at once.
  • You're satisfied with the two-charge billing model (medication + membership as separate line items).
  • You want to take advantage of the first-month introductory membership rate of $39 to lower your initial out-of-pocket cost.

Choose PlexusDx if…

  • You prefer one all-inclusive charge with no separate membership fee and want the simplest billing structure.
  • You want the option to prepay 3 or 6 months at a lower effective monthly rate (semaglutide as low as $149/month, tirzepatide as low as $249/month on the 6-month plan).
  • You value identical pricing at every dose, so cost doesn't increase as your provider titrates your medication.
  • You want access to injectable, oral, and microdose GLP-1 formats with transparent product pages for each option.
  • You prefer a provider that publishes no introductory pricing—just one standard rate every month.

Methodology and freshness

We captured Eden's pricing and plan structure from its public checkout pages on July 19, 2026, and reverified on September 4, 2026. PlexusDx pricing was verified July 17–23, 2026, from published product pages. All month-to-month figures are the standard ongoing rates each provider charges after any introductory period. Eden's first-month membership rate of $39 (instead of $99) was verified September 4, 2026, and we report it alongside the standard $99/month membership rate so you see both the initial and recurring costs. Our 12-month cost calculations multiply each provider's standard month-to-month rate by 12; PlexusDx multi-month totals assume you prepay every 3 or 6 months and remain on treatment for a full year. All arithmetic labeled "our calculation" was performed by PlexusDx from the verified per-month rates. Review evidence (Trustpilot rating, individual negative report, Reddit anecdote) was captured September 4, 2026. Pricing and terms can change; confirm all figures at checkout before purchase. Neither provider guarantees eligibility, medication, dose, formulation, or weight-loss results before clinical intake and provider approval.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Eden's $39 first-month rate apply to both medication and membership?

No. Eden's $39 first-month introductory rate applies only to the membership charge; the medication charge remains $99/month for semaglutide or $199/month for tirzepatide from the first month onward. From month two forward, the membership returns to the standard $99/month rate, so your all-in recurring cost is $198/month for semaglutide or $298/month for tirzepatide (verified September 4, 2026).

Can I cancel Eden's membership separately from the medication?

Eden's checkout states "cancel anytime" (verified July 19, 2026), but the medication and membership are billed as two separate recurring charges. Whether you can cancel one without canceling the other was not documented in our capture; confirm Eden's cancellation policy and whether the membership is required to continue medication at intake or with Eden support.

What does PlexusDx's all-inclusive price include?

PlexusDx's single monthly charge covers your online provider visit, prescription, compounded medication, and shipping. There is no separate membership fee, consultation fee, or shipping charge. A free Doctor of Pharmacy check-in is included. The optional gene-based metabolism panel is an additional $99 for members or $298 general rate (verified July 19, 2026).

Are PlexusDx's 3-month and 6-month rates billed upfront?

Yes. The 3-month rate is charged every 3 months upfront (for example, $507 for semaglutide, $807 for tirzepatide), and the 6-month rate is charged every 6 months upfront (for example, $894 for semaglutide, $1,494 for tirzepatide). Month-to-month plans bill each month individually and can be canceled anytime (verified July 17–23, 2026).

Do both providers offer oral semaglutide and tirzepatide?

Both offer compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, but formulation availability varies. Eden states that injectable and oral options are clinician-dependent (verified September 4, 2026). PlexusDx lists oral semaglutide ($289/month MTM) and oral tirzepatide ($349/month MTM) as distinct product options, but the prescribing provider determines which formulation and route are appropriate for you. Neither provider guarantees a specific formulation before intake and clinical review.
