Willow

Shoppers who want an oral-tablet GLP-1 at the same price as the injectable, with no annual commitment.

Reasons to consider it

  • Oral tablet formulations of both semaglutide and tirzepatide, priced the same as the injections, $299 and $399 a month
  • Month-to-month billing with no prepay or annual term required to get the advertised rate
  • Named physician team publicly listed, including Chief Medical Officer Dr. Michael Green, MD, plus 11+ other credentialed MDs/DOs

What to weigh up

  • Only 35 states and Puerto Rico are served, so residents of the other 15 states and DC can't sign up
  • Site states medication cost 'varies by dosage and prescription' but never discloses what a higher maintenance dose actually costs beyond the $299/$399 starting figures
  • Compounding pharmacy name and state are not disclosed anywhere on the site

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