Lean Meds

Cost-first shoppers who want a genuinely flat all-dose price and named pharmacies, and who will read the $49 headline as the annual plan it is.

Reasons to consider it

A flat rate at every dose on both molecules, stated as such, so the price does not climb as a provider titrates
Names all four pharmacies in its network with addresses, phone numbers and websites, and states the 503A designation in the footer of every page
The full four-rung ladder for each molecule is printed on one page, so a reader can see what a commitment actually saves

What to weigh up

The homepage sells "Starting at $49/mo — same price every month, first order and every order after"; $49 is the twelve-month semaglutide plan and the month-to-month rate is $79
A homepage chip reads "No auto rebill" while the terms say the payment method is automatically charged at recurring intervals until you cancel
Every offer page runs a countdown reading "Price increases in" with no dated deadline behind it

Sprout Health

Price-conscious shoppers who want a quick online intake and don't mind a subscription that bills every four weeks.

Reasons to consider it

Prices are on the homepage before you start: $149 or $199 every four weeks, or $1,188 and $1,788 for a prepaid year
A licensed clinician reviews your intake, and most prescriptions reach the pharmacy within two business days
Sprout names its dispensing pharmacies, Foothills Pharmacy and Promise Pharmacy, in its terms

What to weigh up

Billing runs every four weeks, so the monthly plan is 13 charges a year, about $1,937 on semaglutide and $2,587 on tirzepatide
Cancel after a provider has reviewed your case and you lose a $50 review fee; once the prescription reaches the pharmacy, nothing is refunded
To avoid the next charge you must cancel at least 48 hours before the billing date

Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Sprout Health Partners LLC dba Sprout Health in September 2025. We still list and link to Sprout Health; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
