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.

StaveMD

Shoppers who want an oral or injectable compounded GLP-1 with easy cancellation and are willing to confirm the plan price at checkout.

Reasons to consider it

  • Cancel any time from your account with no phone call or notice period, and request a refund for any month whose medication hasn't been ordered
  • Offers compounded semaglutide as a weekly injection or a daily dissolving tablet, plus tirzepatide and a lower-dose microdose program from $179 a month
  • Names its pharmacies, led by Red Rock Compounding Pharmacy in Utah, and its medical group, OpenLoop Healthcare Partners

What to weigh up

  • Every price is a "starting from" figure; the site says longer programs cost less per month and are billed upfront but doesn't print the price of each plan length
  • The banner's "Start for $179/mo" is the microdose program, not the standard semaglutide or tirzepatide dose
  • "Trusted by millions" and "3,000,000+ members" are totals for its telehealth partner's whole network, as a footnote admits, not StaveMD patients

Henry Meds

People who want a needle-free GLP-1, or liraglutide, from a long-running flat-fee program, and who are fine buying tirzepatide three months at a time.

Reasons to consider it

  • Provider visits, medication, supplies and shipping are included in one plan price, with no insurance needed
  • Needle-free routes on both molecules: sublingual semaglutide tablets or drops, and oral tirzepatide tablets
  • Daily liraglutide injections at $179 a month, a GLP-1 few programs offer

What to weigh up

  • No injectable tirzepatide; the only tirzepatide is an oral tablet sold as a $1,047 three-month supply
  • The $179 semaglutide price covers the lower-dose tier; the higher-dose tablets cost $249 a month and the weekly injection $297
  • Product pages give only "starts at $179/month"; the price for each drug is on a separate program terms page
