The comparison in brief

Both score 71/100 on the Cost-Efficiency Index. There is no score winner; compare the treatment you need, billing terms and state availability.

The better fit depends on what is included in your quote. A lower advertised price can require prepayment, apply to a starting dose or leave out a separate fee.

Apex MD

Patients who want unlimited visits and labs bundled into a flat month-to-month price and don't mind the medication being combined with NAD/B-12/L-carnitine.

Reasons to consider it

  • Genuinely all-in flat pricing: 'no other fees' across all doses, with unlimited provider visits and Labcorp labs included
  • No membership fee, no sign-up fee and no lab fee, stated plainly on the pricing page
  • Both semaglutide and tirzepatide, in injectable or daily-oral form

What to weigh up

  • Not single-ingredient GLP-1 — every tier bundles NAD, B-12, and L-carnitine into the compound, so the $299/$399 price isn't directly comparable to a plain-semaglutide/tirzepatide competitor
  • Compounding pharmacies are never named, only described generically as 'Legit Script Certified pharmacies'
  • Among the highest per-drug prices of the compounded programs we track, though its formulas are bundled with NAD, B-12 and L-carnitine

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.

EllieMD

Readers comparing compounded injection and oral-drop plans who can pay for at least twelve weeks and will confirm their medication and renewal terms.

Reasons to consider it

  • Names CLOVERx as its dispensing pharmacy
  • Standard weight-management plans have public prices alongside microdose pricing
  • No separate membership, shipping or consultation fee

What to weigh up

  • Lowest advertised averages require longer plans paid upfront; standard twelve-week injection plans cost $717 for semaglutide or $897 for tirzepatide
  • The selector calls forty-eight weeks twelve months; compare the actual weeks of supply
  • Microdose programs use lower doses and are marketed for longevity rather than standard weight treatment

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.
