The Index scorecard
Zera Health scored on our six Cost-Efficiency Index factors. See the methodology.
Where the value is
- Compounded semaglutide from $149/mo and tirzepatide from $199/mo, plus a $129/mo microdose option
- Flat pricing — the same monthly cost at every dose as you titrate up
- All-inclusive: medication, unlimited 24/7 provider messaging, and free shipping bundled in
- Names its compounding pharmacy — Strive Pharmacy (licensed 503A)
- Available in all 50 states with same-day approvals
The tradeoffs
- Operates as a technology platform, not the medical provider itself
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved (the site discloses this honestly)
- Aggressive marketing results claims (e.g. '18% average', '93% kept it off') with 'results not typical' disclaimers
- Legal entity name not published (footer shows only 'Zera Health')
The bottom line
Best for: Cost-first shoppers who want budget GLP-1 shoppers who want flat all-dose pricing and a named 503A pharmacy. Zera Health is a telehealth platform for compounded GLP-1 weight loss — semaglutide from $149/mo, tirzepatide from $199/mo, plus oral and low-dose microdose options — prescribed by licensed physicians in…

Compare with other providers
All 491 other providers we've modeled, in Cost-Efficiency Index order. See the ranked alternatives to Zera Health.
- #23bmiMD— Very low $99/$139 pricing on both molecules nationwide — excellent sticker value, though without LegitScript verification.84/100
- #24Ro— The widest formulary — brand-name and oral access — but opaque compounded pricing means you can't model the value until you're already in the funnel.84/100
- #25Hims & Hers— Nationwide reach and a slick app at a mid-market semaglutide price — but an undisclosed tirzepatide price leaves part of the value equation blank.83/100
- #26Care Bare Rx— A LegitScript-certified, HIPAA-compliant multi-service platform that bundles weight loss with hair, TRT, sexual health and NAD+ — with both oral (Rybelsus and oral tirzepatide) and injectable compounded routes — but it won't show you a price until you're inside the intake.80/100
- #27Live Vital— A very low $99 semaglutide nationwide, with tirzepatide disclosed too — cheap and all-50, but without LegitScript verification.82/100
- #28Piper— $135 semaglutide and $199 tirzepatide nationwide — fair, fully-disclosed mid-market pricing, but without LegitScript verification to back the oversight claim.82/100
