On format, Better MedSpa posts no priced format, while TrimRx prices compounded injections and brand-name pens.

About Better MedSpa
Better MedSpa publishes no pricing online and does not specify formulation, so cost and details have to be confirmed with the clinic. The physician-led Lincoln Park practice in Chicago sells medical weight loss and body contouring, with telehealth across Illinois. It prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide in oral and injectable form plus liraglutide as a daily injection, delivered to patients' doors statewide. Medical director is Dr. Brett Brechner, DO, and the practice blends in-person care with Illinois-wide telehealth.
Read our full Better MedSpa review →About TrimRx
Three things TrimRx does not publish: the pharmacy that compounds its drugs, the states it serves, and any LegitScript certification. Specifics sit behind an intake quiz. What is visible is a cash-pay program with tiered monthly pricing plus multi-month bundles, no insurance, selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide shipped monthly at no shipping cost. Licensed US providers prescribe after reviewing an online medical history. The pitch is dose continuity and stable pricing: "switch and keep your current dose, no price hikes". Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved.

Better MedSpa
What we like
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Better MedSpa
Watch-outs
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- Not included in the monthly price: medication
- Serves only 1 states, so check that yours is one of them
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
TrimRx
What we like
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price stays the same as your dose goes up
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to TrimRx
Watch-outs
- Semaglutide costs $299 a month, 62% above the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $399 a month, 60% above the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- Confirm it serves your state before you start the intake
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- Its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
Our Verdict
TrimRx wins this one, 6.3 to 3.9, above all for compounded semaglutide at $299/month after a $199 first month. Better MedSpa fits better if a published list of the one state it serves, when most sellers publish none is your priority.
