1 of the 8 programs below lists semaglutide for less than Novi's $129 a month. 1 of the 8 lists tirzepatide for less than its $169 a month.

Novi is a cash-pay GLP-1 telehealth brand selling compounded semaglutide at $129 a month and tirzepatide at $169 a month month-to-month, with lower rates on a 3-month plan and brand-name pens listed from $1,500.

Best for: Shoppers who want one price at every dose and can choose between month-to-month billing and a cheaper 3-month plan.

What Novi does well

  • Same price at every dose, with the consult, prescription and shipping included
  • Month-to-month billing is available, so the 3-month plan is a choice rather than a requirement
  • No monthly membership fee and cancel-anytime billing
  • LegitScript certified, with a link to its record in LegitScript's own lookup

Why readers look for an alternative

  • The headline $99 and $139 figures are 3-month-plan rates billed $297 and $417 up front; month-to-month is $129 and $169
  • A countdown timer and "was $299" pricing frame the offer as a promotion, and Novi says promotional pricing may change
  • No state list, medical director or pharmacy is named on its site; the pharmacy appears only in your order emails
  • Its refund policy says it can't accept returns once medication is sent
