2 of the 8 programs below list semaglutide for less than Aspen's $179 a month. 2 of the 8 list tirzepatide for less than its $179 a month.

Aspen Health is a cash-pay telehealth platform spanning weight loss, hair health, longevity, and sexual wellness.

Best for: Shoppers who want one flat price whether they end up on semaglutide or tirzepatide, and who can commit to 3 months.

What Aspen does well

  • One transparent, dose-independent flat price ($179/mo) covers either the semaglutide or tirzepatide path, avoiding the tirzepatide surcharge most compounded competitors charge
  • Price stated to be all-in: provider consultation, custom dosing, medication, and free delivery bundled with no listed add-on fees
  • No insurance required, cash-pay simplicity
  • Ongoing check-ins and refills described as built into the plan

Why readers look for an alternative

  • The bold '$179/mo' headline omits its own fine-print condition — a 3-month commitment — visible only in small text directly beneath the price
  • Almost nothing else is disclosed: no states-served list, no named medical director or prescriber, no named pharmacy and no LegitScript certification
  • Most of the site is gated behind an 'eligibility check' funnel with no way to see program details before starting intake
  • 'Aspen+' premium tier is marked 'Coming Soon' — advertised but not actually available yet
