Harbor

Price-conscious shoppers who want one compounded price that does not rise with the dose.

Reasons to consider it

  • Semaglutide at $99 and tirzepatide at $149 a month on the homepage, with no price increase as the dose goes up
  • Explicit 'No Price Increases / Locked pricing' claim, addressing a common bait-and-switch risk
  • Its LegitScript badge is issued to Harbor's own site, not borrowed from a partner

What to weigh up

  • The semaglutide page shows $89 semaglutide and $119 tirzepatide while the homepage and tirzepatide page say $99 and $149, and no page explains the difference
  • Compounded only, with no brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound option
  • Compounding pharmacies are not named, only '503A and 503B certified pharmacies'

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

Kova

Shoppers willing to commit to a longer plan to bring compounded semaglutide down toward $129 a month, with an app that tracks protein and side effects.

Reasons to consider it

  • Semaglutide drops from $299 a month to $179, $149 and $129 on 3-, 6- and 12-month plans, all listed before you start
  • You aren't charged unless a clinician approves treatment
  • Names its prescribers, led by Dr. Laurie Mercier, and five compounding pharmacies, including Strive and Southend

What to weigh up

  • Month to month is the dearest way to buy: $299 for semaglutide and $399 for tirzepatide after the first month
  • The $129 to $179 semaglutide rates require a 3-, 6- or 12-month commitment
  • Lab work isn't included; if your clinician orders it, you pay for it separately

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