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.

Arc-1

Shoppers starting on a low dose who are comfortable with a price that rises as the dose goes up.

Reasons to consider it

  • Each dose has its own price in the cart, so you can see what moving up will cost
  • Free consultation and free shipping, with no separate visit fee
  • Named founder physician (Dr. Todd Stearns)

What to weigh up

  • Prices rise steeply with the dose: semaglutide goes from $199.99 to $549.99 a month
  • The tirzepatide product page says 'starting at $149/month', but the lowest dose in the cart is $199.99
  • No compounding pharmacy is named and no state list is published

24hrDOC

Shoppers who already use 24hrDOC for other care and are willing to ask support how its weight-loss plan is billed.

Reasons to consider it

  • Semaglutide prices are shown before any intake
  • Offers semaglutide as an injection or an oral form
  • FSA and HSA cards may be used

What to weigh up

  • The $299 and $309 figures don't say what period they cover, only that a 6-month subscription is recommended
  • Its weight-loss buttons lead to the general list of conditions, where weight loss isn't listed, so ask support how to start
  • Tirzepatide is mentioned but has no published price

Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to 24HrDoc, Inc. dba 24HrDoc in February 2026. We still list and link to 24hrDOC; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
