Fifty 410
59/100Where the value is
- No recurring subscription — you pay once per order and are not auto-billed
- Transparent per-tier tirzepatide totals ($399/$499/$549) shown alongside the per-month math, so the real charge is visible if you read past the headline
- Free overnight/2-day shipping and refrigerated packaging included in every tier
The tradeoffs
- Tirzepatide's advertised '$133/month' is a 3-month prepay of $399 charged in one transaction, not a monthly recurring price — the cheapest advertised number is not what most shoppers will assume
- Semaglutide has no discounted multi-month tier and, at $199 flat, actually costs more per month than tirzepatide's cheapest bundle
Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Aspen Aesthetics dba Fifty 410 in February 2026. We still list and link to Fifty 410; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
Boston Medical Group
59/100Where the value is
- An established medical group with a defined 12-week program rather than an open-ended subscription
- The price range and the 12-week total are both published, once you reach the costs page
- Semaglutide is prescribed and dispensed under a compounded pathway with clinician oversight
The tradeoffs
- The published rate is a range by dose strength, $199 to $299, so the figure quoted is the floor rather than what a titrated patient pays
- The 12-week program totals $699 including a telemedicine platform fee that is never itemised — about $233/mo all-in, not $199
