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.

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.

LifeMD

Insured shoppers chasing a low brand-name GLP-1 copay who understand that the program fee and the medication are billed separately.

Reasons to consider it

  • Prescribes FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s: the Wegovy pill and pen, Foundayo tablets, and Zepbound vials and pens
  • Publishes self-pay starting prices: Wegovy pill $149, Wegovy pen $199 and Zepbound vial $299 a month, before the program fee
  • Insured patients may pay as little as $0 to $25 per fill, and LifeMD's team runs the insurance check for you

What to weigh up

  • The $149 monthly program fee is charged on top of the medication, so the cheapest self-pay option, the Wegovy pill, comes to about $298 a month
  • The $39 first month is a discount on the program fee only, and page banners quoting $75 or $29 don't say which plan they apply to
  • Zepbound vials start at about $448 a month once the program fee is added
