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.

TMates

Shoppers who want a flat price at every dose, with oral options for both molecules and a provider who can also prescribe brand Wegovy or Zepbound.

Reasons to consider it

  • Each product page lists every plan: semaglutide is $249 for one month, $650 for three, $1,050 for six and $1,900 for twelve; tirzepatide is $297, $800, $1,299 and $1,999
  • The price covers the medication, telemedicine visits and coaching, and stays the same at every dose
  • Semaglutide and tirzepatide each come as a weekly injection or an oral option at the same plan prices, and brand Wegovy or Zepbound can be prescribed for $99 a month to fill at your own pharmacy

What to weigh up

  • The "from $158" and "from $167" category prices are 12-month prepaid rates; month to month is $249 and $297
  • No refund once your prescription is sent to the pharmacy
  • No state list: one page says it ships to "most states" and another says "50+ states"

Lumen Meds

Shoppers comfortable committing to three months who want one published price at every dose.

Reasons to consider it

  • Publishes flat monthly prices for both medications, including visits and shipping
  • Names MD Integrations as its clinical network and The Pharmacy Hub as its dispensing partner
  • Includes provider check-ins, lifestyle coaching and expedited cold shipping

What to weigh up

  • Both weight-loss programs require a three-month commitment, even when paid monthly
  • Leaving early incurs a fee equal to the full retail monthly price: $249.99 for semaglutide or $349.99 for tirzepatide
  • A successful cancellation before intake deducts a $99 administrative fee; cancellations after intake are not refunded
