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.

Luci

Patients willing to prepay a 12-month plan for the lowest advertised rate who want to know which pharmacy fills their prescription.

Reasons to consider it

  • Offers semaglutide and tirzepatide as injections or oral versions
  • Names its three compounding pharmacies, with addresses: EPIQ Scripts, Emerald Compounding Pharmacy and Striker Pharmacy
  • Names its medical partners: DrTelx on its homepage and Berluga Health in its terms

What to weigh up

  • The "as low as" $99 and $145 prices are for a 12-month plan paid upfront, and no month-to-month price is published
  • Its FAQ says it serves every state, while its footer says select states, with no list
  • Its terms say fees aren't refundable in whole or in part, which sits awkwardly beside the money-back guarantee

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

Shapely

Insured patients in CA, FL, NY or TX who want help getting coverage for brand-name GLP-1s.

Reasons to consider it

  • Named, credentialed founder (Dr. Justin Zaghi, Harvard-trained, board-certified obesity medicine)
  • Genuine insurance-navigation service across 8 major payers, potentially large savings if covered
  • Both cash-pay compounded and insurance-covered branded pathways offered

What to weigh up

  • Live in only 4 states (CA, FL, NY, TX) despite a '50-state expansion' announcement
  • Separate membership fee stacks on top of medication cost, and its headline prices ($9 first month, $49/mo promo) are not the real ongoing rate ($99/mo)
  • Actual out-of-pocket cost for insured users is plan-dependent and not disclosed upfront

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