HeliMeds

Patients who prefer to reorder manually and can compare the first-order price with the regular refill total.

Reasons to consider it

  • Publishes introductory and refill totals for one- and three-month purchases
  • No automatic subscription renewal or mandatory long-term contract
  • Free shipping and online text consultation

What to weigh up

  • First-order discounts end on refill
  • Three-month monthly equivalents require the full package paid upfront
  • The dispensing pharmacies and individual prescribers are not named

WeightCare

Shoppers who want a no-commitment monthly plan that covers every dose, with the option to lock in a much lower rate on a 12-month plan.

Reasons to consider it

  • True month-to-month plans with no commitment, covering every dose of both drugs
  • 12-month plans bring the price down to $139/mo for semaglutide and $216/mo for tirzepatide at any dose
  • Serves 46 states (all but Alaska, Hawaii, Louisiana and Mississippi)

What to weigh up

  • The 3- and 6-month tirzepatide plans stop at 7.5 mg a week; higher doses need a separate high-dose plan ($358–$450/mo)
  • Canceling stops future charges only: time already billed isn't pro-rated, and refunds are generally not available once your medical questionnaire is in
  • The semaglutide page also excludes Alabama

Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Weightless Medical LLC dba WeightCare in February 2026. We still list and link to WeightCare; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
