Maximus

People who want compounded tirzepatide at a flat price across doses and are willing to prepay at least two months, or who want brand-name pens and tablets in the same account.

Reasons to consider it

  • Its pricing FAQ lists every plan length: $249.99 a month on 2 months, $219.99 on 4, $199.99 on 6 and $149.99 on 12, with no separate first-month price
  • One flat rate covers every dose tier, with no membership fee and free shipping
  • Also offers brand-name Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound and Mounjaro pens plus the Wegovy and Foundayo tablets

What to weigh up

  • There is no month-to-month tirzepatide plan: the shortest is two months, billed up front, and plans renew automatically at the same term
  • No compounded semaglutide option
  • No refund on medication once it has shipped, and if you aren't approved you are refunded minus the cost of the doctor consultation

Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Maximus Health, Inc. dba Maximus in June 2026. We still list and link to Maximus; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.

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.
