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.

eMed

Shoppers who want brand-name Wegovy, pill or pen, with at-home lab testing and frequent check-ins, and who can budget for a membership on top of the drug.

Reasons to consider it

  • Publishes its prices: a $49 screening, a $149.99 monthly membership, and Wegovy from $149.99 a month, charged only if you're approved
  • Prescribes FDA-approved Wegovy only, as the once-daily pill or the weekly pen
  • At-home blood test before you start, repeated at six and twelve months

What to weigh up

  • The membership is charged on top of the medication, so Wegovy's lowest price comes to about $300 a month
  • No compounded options and no tirzepatide or Zepbound
  • Its terms say the program is available only in certain states, without listing them

Coby Health

Shoppers who want pay-as-you-go, per-dose pricing with no forced subscription and accept that the price rises with the dose.

Reasons to consider it

  • Genuine per-dose pricing transparency — every dose tier has its own published monthly price rather than one vague 'starting at' figure
  • No subscription requirement: 'cancel your monthly subscription anytime for a one-month supply'
  • Multi-month and titration-specific bundles are priced and disclosed up front, not hidden behind checkout

What to weigh up

  • The advertised low headline prices ('as low as $99/mo' semaglutide, '$179/mo' tirzepatide) apply only to the LOWEST starting dose on a 6-month bundle — real pay-as-you-go pricing at a typical mid-range dose is far higher
  • Coby Health is a marketplace, not a medical practice: its terms name the medical group, Beluga Health, P.A., but no medical director, prescriber or compounding pharmacy
  • No LegitScript certification

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