Pricing
Evolve Telemed
Pricing not publicly listed.
NextMeds
Compounded Semaglutide Membership, drug included when prescribed, alongside telehealth visits, a care coach, a dietitian and shipping. $79 is the month-to-month rate read from the pricing section on 2026-08-14. The site headline reads 'from $49/mo': that is the 12-month prepaid term divided down, not a monthly price, and the ladder between them is 3-month $76, 6-month $73, 12-month $49. A summer promotion was running with a stated end of August 20, so $79 may itself be discounted.
Compounded Tirzepatide Membership, drug included when prescribed, alongside telehealth visits, a care coach, a dietitian and shipping. $109 is the month-to-month rate read from the pricing section on 2026-08-14. The advertised 'GLP-1 + GIP: $95' is the 12-month prepaid term divided down; the ladder is 3-month $105, 6-month $100, 12-month $95. A summer promotion was running with a stated end of August 20, so $109 may itself be discounted.

About Evolve Telemed
Three things stay hidden until intake begins: what a GLP-1 costs, which compounding pharmacies fill it, and where the practice is licensed. Evolve Telemed works on hormone and peptide optimization for men and women, covering thyroid, menopause and BHRT, hair restoration, sexual wellness, weight management and TRT. Its weight program puts compounded semaglutide with board-certified specialists on a model pairing a physician and a care specialist, and will coordinate plans for couples. A free consultation opens the door.

Membership is a single flat monthly charge, and inside it sit free shipping, a registered dietitian holding a license, a care coach working 1:1, telehealth visits and the drug itself where one is prescribed. Insurance is not billed. A free assessment online goes to a licensed provider, who adds a phone or video consult in states that demand one, then prescribes if it fits. Compounding pharmacies within the Next Meds network, all licensed, ship. Auto-renewal does not exist, cancellation is open, and all 50 states can order compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide.

Evolve Telemed
What we like
- The monthly figure covers medication and consult
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
- A live video visit with a clinician is required before a prescription, which is slower than a form and is the more careful intake
Watch-outs
- No price appears until the medical intake is complete, so the cost cannot be compared before health information is submitted
- No state list is on record here, so whether it serves your state cannot be confirmed from this page
- No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
NextMeds
What we like
- Semaglutide at $79 a month, 58% below the $189 median for the same drug and form across this register
- Tirzepatide at $109 a month, 59% below the $267 median for the same drug and form across this register
- Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
- The monthly price is recorded as flat across doses, so it does not climb as the dose is titrated up
- The monthly figure covers medication, consult, shipping, coaching
- Coverage is published for all 50 states
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Watch-outs
- No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
- 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
NextMeds takes it, 9.2 against 4.0, and it is especially strong on semaglutide at $79/month, 59% under the register median. Evolve Telemed is no weak second.
