RxPepsDirect

Cost-first shoppers who want the all-in per-order cost of a compounded GLP-1 with no subscription, in 28 states.

Reasons to consider it

  • Every component of the price is published on the site — the vial tiers, the flat visit charge and the flat overnight delivery — so the all-in monthly cost can be worked out before ordering
  • No subscription and no commitment: you pay per order, and one visit charge covers up to three peptides on the same prescription
  • Real 503A telehealth Rx — licensed NP/PA prescribers under medical director Dr. Jonathan Snipes (NPI 1821250077), dispensed by Optimal Balance Pharmacy, Texas State Board of Pharmacy license #34829

What to weigh up

  • The advertised vial price is not the monthly cost: a flat $39 medical visit charge and $15 flat FedEx shipping land on every order, and the visit charge recurs on every reorder rather than once
  • The figure above is the starter vial; the published dose ladder climbs month by month, to $108.64 for a month-six semaglutide vial before the visit charge and shipping
  • Minimal clinical oversight: a roughly two-minute asynchronous intake, no live video consult, no labs required and no published dose-escalation monitoring

Harper Meds

Cost-first shoppers who want a genuinely all-in flat price with a disclosed operating entity and physician networks.

Reasons to consider it

  • All-inclusive pricing: the $149 starting price covers the doctor consultation, prescription, medication and shipping, with no additional fees
  • You aren't charged until a doctor approves you; the card is only held at checkout
  • Named operating entity (Nexus Health Solutions LLC) and named physician networks (Wasef Health, Beluga Health)

What to weigh up

  • The tirzepatide price isn't published, and $149 is a starting figure
  • It doesn't publish the states it serves, so check yours before you start
  • We didn't see a LegitScript seal on the site; ask Harper Meds for its certification number

Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Nexus Health Solutions LLC dba Harper Meds in June 2026. We still list and link to Harper Meds; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
