Nouri
64/100Where the value is
- 'Any dose, same price' means no dose-escalation surcharge — unlike most compounded-GLP-1 competitors
- Names a real, licensed 503A compounding pharmacy (F&F Pharmacies dba Jungle Jim's Pharmacy, Fairfield, OH) and a named prescribing physician (Dr. Michael Wasef, MD)
- Bundles nutrition planning, movement planning, and concierge care into every tier at no extra charge, per the site's own claim
The tradeoffs
- The advertised 'starting at' headline price ($120 semaglutide / $175 tirzepatide) is the 6-month PREPAY rate only — the true month-to-month price is 46% and 29% higher respectively ($175 / $225)
- The 30-day money-back guarantee explicitly excludes the monthly (no-prepay) plan
Novera MD
64/100Where the value is
- Starting prices for both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are on the product pages before the quiz, with a buy-now-pay-later option
- A licensed physician reviews your answers, and the semaglutide page says your dose is adjusted gradually with check-ins along the way
- Hormone, NAD+, sermorelin, glutathione and MIC + B12 treatments are available from the same account
The tradeoffs
- The $94.31 and $164.31 figures are "starting at" prices, and the plan length, billing cycle and the price for higher doses aren't shown before the intake
- No cancellation or refund policy is published on the site
