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.

Willow

Shoppers who want an oral-tablet GLP-1 at the same price as the injectable, with no annual commitment.

Reasons to consider it

Oral tablet formulations of both semaglutide and tirzepatide, priced the same as the injections, $299 and $399 a month
Month-to-month billing with no prepay or annual term required to get the advertised rate
Named physician team publicly listed, including Chief Medical Officer Dr. Michael Green, MD, plus 11+ other credentialed MDs/DOs

What to weigh up

Only 35 states and Puerto Rico are served, so residents of the other 15 states and DC can't sign up
Site states medication cost 'varies by dosage and prescription' but never discloses what a higher maintenance dose actually costs beyond the $299/$399 starting figures
Compounding pharmacy name and state are not disclosed anywhere on the site
