The Index scorecard
StaveMD scored on our six Cost-Efficiency Index factors. See the methodology.
Where the value is
- 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
- Says it serves all 50 states and Washington, D.C., with free discreet shipping and HSA/FSA eligibility
- No membership fee, and every program includes provider visits, medication and shipping
The tradeoffs
- 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
- The homepage names one pharmacy while the terms list four that may fill your prescription
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved products
The bottom line
Best for: Shoppers who want an oral or injectable compounded GLP-1 with easy cancellation and are willing to confirm the plan price at checkout. StaveMD lists compounded semaglutide, as a weekly shot or a dissolving tablet, from $199 a month and tirzepatide from $249, with a refund on any month whose medication hasn't been ordered yet.

MyDrHankPartner
Semaglutide from $249/mo · tirzepatide from $349/mo
Every price this site advertises is a twelve-month prepay rate — its price display returns the cheapest term by design — so the real month-to-month cost is $249-$349, not the "from $171" on the page.

Collective sells compounded semaglutide at $59 and tirzepatide at $69 a month, both genuinely medication prices, on top of a $199 annual membership that is required, auto-renewing and not refundable.
