YourEra vs Inner Balance
Two GLP-1 programs on the bench, scored on the same six factors. Here's how their real cost of ownership compares — and which one we'd start with.
YourEra

Visit YourEraInner Balance
Women looking for hormone, libido or skin treatments online rather than GLP-1 weight-loss care.
Visit Inner BalanceThe verdict
YourEra takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 43 to 41. YourEra advertises compounded semaglutide from $79 and tirzepatide from $159 with a new-patient coupon, but shows its standing monthly price only after you hand over an email address. Inner Balance still earns a C — Women looking for hormone, libido or skin treatments online rather than GLP-1 weight-loss care.

YourEra
43/100Where the value is
- No membership-fee structure; the site markets "No Hidden Costs" and says there are no long-term contracts, with pause or cancel from the patient portal
- Prescriptions are "issued only if deemed medically appropriate" after evaluation by licensed US clinicians, stated plainly
- Names its legal entity in its Terms of Service (YourEra, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries)
The tradeoffs
- The homepage advertises semaglutide "from $79/mo" and tirzepatide "from $159/mo" with no plan length attached, and every sign-up button on it carries a 20% new-patient coupon, so neither figure is what a month-to-month plan costs after the first month
- The price you will pay appears only after you enter an email address in the intake, so the standing monthly rate can't be checked before you sign up
Inner Balance
41/100Where the value is
- Founded by a board-certified physician who specializes in women's hormonal health
- Treatments ship after approval with no visit needed, and ongoing check-ins are included
- HSA and FSA eligible, with a money-back guarantee on eligible products
The tradeoffs
- It doesn't offer semaglutide, tirzepatide or any GLP-1 weight-loss treatment
- Prices aren't shown on the homepage
