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.

Science & Co

A twelve-month committer, or someone who values a company stating plainly what it is and is not.

Reasons to consider it

  • States twice in its footer that "Science and Co, Inc. is not a 503A or 503B compounding facility"
  • Its own FAQ names the commitment behind the headline: "Plans start at $59 a month on the 12 month plan"
  • Also prescribes brand-name Zepbound and Wegovy, plus the Wegovy and Foundayo pills, dispensed sealed by a licensed pharmacy

What to weigh up

  • The number it leads with is a twelve-month commitment; the per-month rates are $149 and $199
  • Only two figures are published per drug, so a three- or six-month plan cannot be priced without starting an intake
  • It says it is not a compounding facility but never names the pharmacy that is

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

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