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.

TrueMe

Shoppers in its six states who want flat, all-inclusive GLP-1 pricing with no membership.

Reasons to consider it

  • One price covers consultation, medication, shipping, supplies and provider support, and the site states there are no separate membership fees
  • Same price at every dose, so the cost does not climb as a provider titrates the dose upward
  • Full pricing is published up front — no intake form is required before you can see what you will pay

What to weigh up

  • Serves only six states (AZ, CO, MO, PA, TX, WI), far narrower coverage than most national GLP-1 telehealth
  • Prices marketed per month are charged every 4 weeks at checkout — 13 charges a year, not 12
  • You pay before completing the medical intake, and approval is not guaranteed at the moment you are charged

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

Kova

Shoppers willing to commit to a longer plan to bring compounded semaglutide down toward $129 a month, with an app that tracks protein and side effects.

Reasons to consider it

  • Semaglutide drops from $299 a month to $179, $149 and $129 on 3-, 6- and 12-month plans, all listed before you start
  • You aren't charged unless a clinician approves treatment
  • Names its prescribers, led by Dr. Laurie Mercier, and five compounding pharmacies, including Strive and Southend

What to weigh up

  • Month to month is the dearest way to buy: $299 for semaglutide and $399 for tirzepatide after the first month
  • The $129 to $179 semaglutide rates require a 3-, 6- or 12-month commitment
  • Lab work isn't included; if your clinician orders it, you pay for it separately

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