8 Semaglutide Subscription Services Worth a Serious Look Right Now
The compounded GLP-1 market got shaken up hard in early 2026, and not every provider survived the shift intact.
The March 2026 Novo Nordisk settlement pushed several telehealth brands away from compounded semaglutide entirely. Others quietly raised prices. A handful kept their pricing honest and their pharmacy credentials visible. The list below focuses on real differences: who dispenses what, at what price, and what the catch is.
1. HealthRX
If cash price and overnight access are your two filters, HealthRX clears both. Compounded semaglutide starts at $99 per month. Compounded tirzepatide starts at $149. Those are among the lowest published entry prices in the space, and they are not introductory teaser rates hidden behind a higher ongoing fee.
The pharmacy behind it is Manifest Pharmacy in Greer, South Carolina, a 503A facility operating under USP-797 standards with lot tracking from production to delivery. LegitScript certification (cert 50087439) is publicly verifiable. A US board-certified physician reviews the online health assessment within roughly 24 hours. Medication ships overnight, free, to all 50 states.
The trial data HealthRX references is from the published clinical literature: tirzepatide showed approximately 21% body weight reduction at 72 weeks in SURMOUNT-1, semaglutide approximately 15% at 68 weeks in STEP 1. These are not HealthRX’s own outcomes. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.
Best for: People who want a named, credentialed pharmacy and the lowest available cash price without sacrificing same-state shipping speed.
Honest con: Compounded, not branded. If FDA-approved Wegovy or Mounjaro is your preference, look at Hims & Hers or Ro instead.
2. Mochi Health
Mochi charges around $99 per month for compounded semaglutide and $199 for tirzepatide, with board-certified obesity-medicine physicians involved in prescribing. That specialty credential matters. General practitioners can prescribe GLP-1s legally, but obesity medicine clinicians tend to approach titration and plateaus differently.
Best for: Patients who want an actual obesity specialist reviewing their case, not just a general telehealth sign-off.
Con: Tirzepatide at $199 is pricier than some competitors.
3. FormBlends
FormBlends is a compounded GLP-1 telehealth option that earns a spot here for one specific reason: published purity data. The site discloses HPLC purity percentages, mass spectrometry identity results, and endotoxin sterility numbers per product lot. Most GLP-1 telehealth providers do not do this publicly. Physician oversight is part of the model, and dispensing runs through an FDA-registered 503A compounding pharmacy.
*A quick note worth keeping in mind: compounded GLP-1 products across all providers carry real regulatory uncertainty in 2026. That applies here and everywhere else on this list.*
Pricing is higher than HealthRX, semaglutide around $299 and tirzepatide around $349 per vial. FormBlends also carries a broader catalog of peptides for recovery, longevity, and cognitive support under the same clinician model, which makes it genuinely different from GLP-1-only services. Ships to 47 states, not 50.
Best for: Someone who wants third-party-style purity documentation in hand before injecting, or who wants GLP-1s and peptides from one provider.
Con: Higher per-vial price than HealthRX; not available in all states.
4. Ro Body
Ro’s membership fee is around $39 for the first month, then $74 to $149 monthly, with medication billed separately. The platform has a dedicated prior-authorization team and accepts insurance for branded GLP-1s, which is a legitimate operational advantage if your insurer covers Wegovy or Zepbound.
Best for: Insured patients willing to go through prior-auth for branded medications.
Con: Total monthly cost adds up fast when you stack membership plus separate med billing.
5. Hims & Hers
After exiting compounded GLP-1s following the March 2026 settlement, Hims & Hers moved to branded medications only. Injectable Wegovy runs approximately $299 per month through the platform, oral semaglutide around $249, and Zepbound around $399. With insurance plus a savings card, costs can reportedly drop to $0 to $25 per month, though that outcome depends entirely on your specific coverage.
Best for: People who want branded, FDA-approved medications with a consumer-friendly interface.
Con: Cash price without insurance is steep, and the compounded option is gone.
6. Henry Meds
Henry Meds operates on a cash-pay compounded model, with first-month pricing around $179 to $249 and fast shipping typically in the 24 to 72-hour window. Monitoring is lighter than some other platforms, which suits people who want minimal friction but means less clinical hand-holding during titration.
Best for: Self-directed patients who want speed and simplicity over heavy monitoring.
Con: Less clinical oversight than Mochi or Form Health if you hit complications.
7. PlushCare
PlushCare runs a $19.99 per month membership, one of the lowest platform fees in telehealth broadly. Branded meds, insurance accepted, and same-day visits are available. The model is more like a traditional telehealth primary care practice that happens to prescribe GLP-1s than a dedicated weight-loss program.
Best for: People who already have solid insurance coverage and just need a quick, legitimate prescription pathway.
Con: Branded meds mean the cash price without insurance is not competitive.
8. Found
Found charges around $99 per month for the platform, with medication costs on top of that. Coaching is part of the program structure. It is a fuller-service approach compared to the lower-cost compounded-only options, which is appealing if you want behavioral support built in rather than bolted on later.
Best for: People who want medication plus structured coaching in one package and are comfortable with the all-in price.
Con: Total monthly spend can climb significantly once medications are added.

Common Questions
Does the March 2026 Novo Nordisk settlement actually prevent you from getting compounded semaglutide through these services?
Not entirely. The settlement affected some providers more than others. Hims & Hers exited compounded semaglutide completely, but services like HealthRX, Mochi Health, Henry Meds, and FormBlends continued offering compounded versions through 503A pharmacies. Regulatory status can shift quickly, so confirm availability with whichever provider you choose before starting.
What is the real difference between a 503A and a 503B compounding pharmacy, and does it matter when picking a service?
It matters practically. A 503A pharmacy compounds for individual patients under a specific prescription, which is how most telehealth GLP-1 services operate. A 503B is a larger outsourcing facility with stricter FDA oversight and batch testing. Neither designation guarantees safety on its own, but 503B facilities face more frequent federal inspection.
Why does FormBlends publish HPLC and mass spectrometry data when most other providers on this list do not?
Publishing per-lot purity data is a marketing differentiator, not an industry requirement. Most telehealth GLP-1 providers rely on their compounding pharmacy’s internal testing without making those numbers public. FormBlends makes the documentation visible to the patient upfront. Whether that difference justifies the higher price point compared to HealthRX or Mochi is a personal call.
If Mochi Health uses obesity-medicine specialists and HealthRX uses board-certified physicians, what is the practical difference for a patient?
Obesity medicine is a recognized subspecialty with its own board certification. Physicians in that specialty typically have more training in titration strategies, plateau management, and medication combinations than a general practitioner does. For straightforward cases, the distinction may not matter much. For patients with complex histories or who have struggled on GLP-1s before, it can make a real difference.
Can you use insurance at any of the compounded-semaglutide services, or is cash pay the only option?
Cash pay only, across every compounded option on this list. Insurance does not cover compounded medications. Ro Body, Hims & Hers, and PlushCare are the services here where insurance can apply, and only for branded products like Wegovy or Zepbound. Even then, coverage depends entirely on your specific plan and whether prior authorization is approved.
