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.

Nova

Readers who want the membership inside the quoted price rather than added to it, and who want a daily sublingual option beside the injection.

Reasons to consider it

  • Quotes one all-in figure that already contains the $50 monthly membership, the medication and refrigerated shipping, so the membership is not a surprise at checkout
  • Names a medical director and a nurse practitioner with credentials, training and residency detail
  • Prices a daily sublingual route for both molecules alongside the weekly injections

What to weigh up

  • Every figure is a "From" price that depends on the dose your provider prescribes, and no maintenance-dose price is published
  • No compounding pharmacy and no medical group is named
  • "You're only charged if prescribed" sits against a refund policy making membership and consultation fees non-refundable once the clinical review is done, even when a provider declines

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

Aspen

Shoppers who want one flat price whether they end up on semaglutide or tirzepatide, and who can commit to 3 months.

Reasons to consider it

  • One transparent, dose-independent flat price ($179/mo) covers either the semaglutide or tirzepatide path, avoiding the tirzepatide surcharge most compounded competitors charge
  • Price stated to be all-in: provider consultation, custom dosing, medication, and free delivery bundled with no listed add-on fees
  • No insurance required, cash-pay simplicity

What to weigh up

  • The bold '$179/mo' headline omits its own fine-print condition — a 3-month commitment — visible only in small text directly beneath the price
  • Almost nothing else is disclosed: no states-served list, no named medical director or prescriber, no named pharmacy and no LegitScript certification
  • Most of the site is gated behind an 'eligibility check' funnel with no way to see program details before starting intake

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