AJ Peptide
76/100Where the value is
- Names its 503A pharmacy (The Pharmacy Hub in Miami) and its prescribing group (Arora Health & Aesthetics, with the supervising physician's NPI) in its FAQ
- Prices for every product are on the product cards before you start a visit
- Prescription-only: every order requires a licensed provider's evaluation, and the site says it publishes certificates of analysis covering sterility, endotoxin and potency testing
The tradeoffs
- The headline $95 and $185 prices depend on a coupon code, and the site doesn't say whether the discount applies only to the first charge
- Charges already processed are non-refundable, and refunds are offered only for billing errors
The Edit
75/100Where the value is
- Same price at every dose, with no membership fee and month-to-month plans you can cancel any time
- Three- and six-month plans are labeled as single up-front charges: semaglutide $575 and $1,065, tirzepatide $855 and $1,575
- Names its pharmacy, The Pharmacy Hub, and a board-certified family-medicine medical director
The tradeoffs
- The first-month prices of $200 and $300 are a limited-time offer; the standing rates are $259 and $349
- Paid billing periods aren't pro-rated or refunded, and compounded medication is non-refundable once dispensed
