Brello Health

Shoppers comfortable with a mandatory 3-month auto-renewing commitment in exchange for a discounted per-month rate.

Reasons to consider it

  • Discount structure is itemized transparently — both the discounted and pre-discount standing price are shown side by side ($133 vs $198 for semaglutide, $166 vs $247 for tirzepatide)
  • Bundle options combining GLP-1 with NAD+ and/or Sermorelin are available on the same subscription
  • Spells out the commitment on its site ('3-month minimum commitment and automatically renew every 11 weeks') rather than burying it in the terms

What to weigh up

  • No month-to-month option at any price: the 3-month plans renew every 11 weeks, and the 6-month tirzepatide plan bills $894 every 22 weeks and ships in two boxes about 11 weeks apart
  • The compounding pharmacy is not named, only 'USA-based 503A Partner Pharmacy,' and the site discloses it is mid-transition to a new facility
  • No named medical director or individual prescriber, only 'a healthcare provider reviews your information'

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

Shapely

Insured patients in CA, FL, NY or TX who want help getting coverage for brand-name GLP-1s.

Reasons to consider it

  • Named, credentialed founder (Dr. Justin Zaghi, Harvard-trained, board-certified obesity medicine)
  • Genuine insurance-navigation service across 8 major payers, potentially large savings if covered
  • Both cash-pay compounded and insurance-covered branded pathways offered

What to weigh up

  • Live in only 4 states (CA, FL, NY, TX) despite a '50-state expansion' announcement
  • Separate membership fee stacks on top of medication cost, and its headline prices ($9 first month, $49/mo promo) are not the real ongoing rate ($99/mo)
  • Actual out-of-pocket cost for insured users is plan-dependent and not disclosed upfront

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