The short answer
Willow charges $299 per month for compounded semaglutide (injection or oral) and $399 per month for compounded tirzepatide injection, billed monthly with no separate membership fees (verified September 4, 2026; startwillow.com). Those figures include the provider visit, prescription, medication, and free two-day shipping. Over 12 months, Willow's semaglutide program costs $3,588 and tirzepatide costs $4,788 (our calculation). PlexusDx offers compounded semaglutide injection at $189 per month month-to-month—$110 less per month than Willow—and tirzepatide injection at $289 per month, $110 less than Willow's tirzepatide rate. Both programs use all-inclusive pricing with no hidden fees; the economic difference is the per-month medication rate and the availability of prepaid discounts.

What Willow's monthly price includes
Willow's $299 semaglutide and $399 tirzepatide monthly charges are all-inclusive: the online provider consultation, prescription review, compounded medication, and free two-day shipping are bundled into the single monthly fee (verified September 4, 2026; startwillow.com). There is no separate membership charge, no per-visit copay, and no shipping surcharge. Willow accepts HSA and FSA cards for payment.
Willow offers both injection and oral routes for semaglutide. The captured pricing lists "$299/month" for semaglutide without breaking out separate per-route figures; oral-route pricing was not separately itemized in the sources we reviewed (September 4, 2026). If you prefer oral semaglutide, confirm the exact monthly rate at checkout.
For tirzepatide, Willow currently documents injection only at $399 per month (September 4, 2026; startwillow.com/compound-tirzepatide).

What to confirm at checkout
-
Oral semaglutide pricing at Willow: the $299 figure appears to cover both routes, but oral-specific itemization was not captured; verify the exact monthly charge if you prefer capsules.
-
Cancellation and refund terms: neither Willow nor PlexusDx policy details were documented in the sources we reviewed; check each provider's terms of service before committing.
-
Dose escalation and ongoing eligibility: a licensed clinician determines your starting dose, titration schedule, and continued appropriateness; neither program guarantees a specific dose or uninterrupted access.
Choose Willow if…

- Free expedited two-day shipping is a priority for your schedule.
- You want access to both injection and oral semaglutide routes within a single program (and you confirm oral pricing at checkout).

Choose PlexusDx if…
- Saving $110 per month ($1,320 annually) on semaglutide or tirzepatide matters to your long-term budget.
- You're willing to prepay three or six months to lock in $149–169/month semaglutide or $249–269/month tirzepatide rates.
- You value dose-flat pricing that won't increase as your prescription is titrated upward.
- You want the option to switch between injection and oral routes, or to step down to a $129/month microdose maintenance protocol once you reach goal weight.
- A verified 4.3-star Trustpilot rating (83% four-star-or-higher reviews) gives you confidence in service consistency.
Methodology and freshness
We captured Willow's advertised pricing on September 4, 2026, from startwillow.com and startwillow.com/compound-tirzepatide. PlexusDx pricing was verified July 17–23, 2026, on plexusdx.com product pages. The 12-month total-cost figures are our calculation: we multiplied each monthly rate by 12 (for month-to-month plans) or by the number of billing cycles required to reach 12 months of treatment (for prepaid plans). We used the verified monthly equivalents for prepaid tiers ($149/month and $249/month for PlexusDx six-month plans) and labeled them as prepaid. No promotional, introductory, or first-month discounts were identified for either provider. PlexusDx review data was captured September 9, 2026, from trustpilot.com/review/plexusdx.com. We did not submit payment or complete intake at either provider; all figures reflect publicly advertised rates. Pricing, eligibility, and clinical protocols may change; confirm current rates and terms at checkout.
