Willow

Shoppers who want an oral-tablet GLP-1 at the same price as the injectable, with no annual commitment.

Reasons to consider it

Oral tablet formulations of both semaglutide and tirzepatide, priced the same as the injections, $299 and $399 a month
Month-to-month billing with no prepay or annual term required to get the advertised rate
Named physician team publicly listed, including Chief Medical Officer Dr. Michael Green, MD, plus 11+ other credentialed MDs/DOs

What to weigh up

Only 35 states and Puerto Rico are served, so residents of the other 15 states and DC can't sign up
Site states medication cost 'varies by dosage and prescription' but never discloses what a higher maintenance dose actually costs beyond the $299/$399 starting figures
Compounding pharmacy name and state are not disclosed anywhere on the site

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

DrBrainRx

Shoppers who want one compounded price at every dose, pay per refill, and don't mind a $25 monthly care fee on top of the medication.

Reasons to consider it

Named, credentialed medical director (Dr. Sara Siavoshi, board-certified neurologist and obesity-medicine specialist), not an anonymous provider pool
One medication price at every dose ($129 semaglutide, $249 tirzepatide up to 15 mg), with no upcharge as you titrate up
Refills are explicitly patient-initiated and never auto-charged — a real anti-dark-pattern commitment

What to weigh up

The $129/$249 medication prices don't include the $25 monthly care fee every compounded patient pays, so the real monthly cost is $154/$274
No compounding pharmacy named beyond a generic 'USP-certified pharmacies in the U.S.' reference
It doesn't list the states it serves, so check yours before you start
