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.

NuBloom

Women who want a physician-founded, whole-person GLP-1 program in one of the 49 states it covers.

Reasons to consider it

  • Prices published up front, month to month: semaglutide $149/mo, tirzepatide $279/mo, microdose tirzepatide $249/mo
  • Founded and medically led by a named physician (Dr. Marianne Pinkston Mueller)
  • LegitScript certified, with appointments through Qualiphy, also LegitScript certified

What to weigh up

  • The compounding pharmacy is never named, only 'a state-licensed sterile compounding pharmacy partner'
  • Each plan shows one monthly price with every dose listed, but the site doesn't say the price holds as your dose goes up
  • The semaglutide-plus-coaching program is listed at $599/mo on one page and $499/mo for three months on another

SkinnyRx

Shoppers who want a cheap first month to see how they tolerate a GLP-1, and who will budget for the price from month two.

Reasons to consider it

  • The first month of either injection is $99, so trying the medication costs little
  • Prepaid plans lower the price: semaglutide renews at $225 a month on four months, $215 on six and $199 on twelve
  • Both compounded molecules come as a weekly injection or a daily tablet

What to weigh up

  • From month two the injection is $249 for semaglutide or $299 for tirzepatide, well above the $99 you see first
  • An FDA warning letter is on public record against Lean Rx, Inc. dba SkinnyRx, issued February 2026
  • Brand-name drugs appear in its catalog, but the Wegovy pill is listed as unavailable

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