Oak

Shoppers who want one price at every dose, no subscription, and the option of a brand-name pen or the Wegovy pill on the same account.

Reasons to consider it

One price at every dose on its order form — $250 a month for semaglutide, $300 for tirzepatide — so titrating up does not raise the bill
The order form shows every price before it asks for your name or any health details
Billed one month at a time with no subscription; a three-month supply paid upfront brings the monthly cost to $200 and about $267

What to weigh up

The homepage advertises weight-loss treatment "from $89/mo" and the weight-loss page "$190/mo", with no term on either and neither matching any price on the order form
The lower price shown first on the order form is a first-month discount; the standing price is the struck-through figure beside it
A three-month supply is billed upfront in one charge, and nothing is refundable once a provider has approved the order and it has shipped

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

Embody

Shoppers who want a low monthly price on a compounded GLP-1 with no long-term contract, and who will check the renewal price before each refill.

Reasons to consider it

Semaglutide is $79 for one month, $228 for three, $438 for six and $828 for twelve on its product pages
Flat pricing stated not to rise with dose or across months on the same plan
No membership fee and no long-term contract — cancel anytime

What to weigh up

The $79 and $129 are labeled sale prices against a $299 regular price, so confirm your renewal is charged the same
Dose strengths behind each price are not published, so ask what your maintenance dose costs
No individual medical director or prescriber is named — care is attributed to a third-party network (OpenLoop Health) rather than Embody's own clinicians
