6 of the 8 programs below list semaglutide for less than Chia's $349 a month. 5 of the 8 list tirzepatide for less than its $399 a month.

Chia charges $349 a month for compounded semaglutide and $399 for tirzepatide month to month; the "from $249" on its product pages is a committed multi-month rate.

Best for: Shoppers who want month-to-month GLP-1 care with a money-back guarantee, and who will compare the committed-plan discount against its early-cancellation math.

What Chia does well

  • Month-to-month plans carry a 30-day money-back guarantee for first-time weight-loss customers
  • Both the committed-plan figure and the month-to-month figure appear on the product page before the quiz
  • Offers a daily tirzepatide tablet as well as weekly injections
  • Publishes the names and state licenses of its clinicians on a provider-licensure page
  • HSA/FSA eligible, free shipping, and cancel anytime from the patient portal

Why readers look for an alternative

  • The "Starting from $249.00/mo" headline is a committed 3-, 4- or 6-month plan price; month to month is $349 for semaglutide and $399 for tirzepatide
  • Cancel a committed plan early and your refund is recalculated at the full monthly rate for the months you used, which can leave nothing back
  • Neither the dispensing pharmacy nor a list of states served is published
  • The terms let the company use de-identified health data to train AI systems unless you email to opt out
  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved products
