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.

Nova

Readers who want the membership inside the quoted price rather than added to it, and who want a daily sublingual option beside the injection.

Reasons to consider it

  • Quotes one all-in figure that already contains the $50 monthly membership, the medication and refrigerated shipping, so the membership is not a surprise at checkout
  • Names a medical director and a nurse practitioner with credentials, training and residency detail
  • Prices a daily sublingual route for both molecules alongside the weekly injections

What to weigh up

  • Every figure is a "From" price that depends on the dose your provider prescribes, and no maintenance-dose price is published
  • No compounding pharmacy and no medical group is named
  • "You're only charged if prescribed" sits against a refund policy making membership and consultation fees non-refundable once the clinical review is done, even when a provider declines
