Curex

People who want a low-cost first month and an oral option nationwide, and who will either pay monthly or prepay a year for the lower rate.

Reasons to consider it

  • Discounted first month well below the ongoing rate — $49 for semaglutide, $149 for tirzepatide
  • Publishes a plain price table: monthly rates, plus a prepaid-year option at $199 (semaglutide) or $299 (tirzepatide) a month
  • Nationwide enrollment (all 50 states) plus an oral/sublingual route as an alternative to injections

What to weigh up

  • The 'From $199/mo' headline is the prepaid-year rate ($2,388 up front); paid monthly, semaglutide is $299 and tirzepatide $399
  • California residents cannot get the injectable route at all — oral tablets only, despite the 'all 50 states' enrollment claim
  • Named clinical leadership is disclosed in the context of Curex's original allergy-clinic business, not confirmed as GLP-1-specific prescribers

Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Curex in September 2025. We still list and link to Curex; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.

Aspen

Shoppers who want one flat price whether they end up on semaglutide or tirzepatide, and who can commit to 3 months.

Reasons to consider it

  • One transparent, dose-independent flat price ($179/mo) covers either the semaglutide or tirzepatide path, avoiding the tirzepatide surcharge most compounded competitors charge
  • Price stated to be all-in: provider consultation, custom dosing, medication, and free delivery bundled with no listed add-on fees
  • No insurance required, cash-pay simplicity

What to weigh up

  • The bold '$179/mo' headline omits its own fine-print condition — a 3-month commitment — visible only in small text directly beneath the price
  • Almost nothing else is disclosed: no states-served list, no named medical director or prescriber, no named pharmacy and no LegitScript certification
  • Most of the site is gated behind an 'eligibility check' funnel with no way to see program details before starting intake
