Fridays
What we like
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and coaching
- Names 4 pharmacies that fill its prescriptions, which most sellers do not
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Fridays
Watch-outs
- Semaglutide costs $249 a month, 35% above the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $359 a month, 44% above the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- Confirm it serves your state before you start the intake
- 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
Klinic
What we like
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Klinic
Watch-outs
- Not included in the monthly price: coaching
- 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
Our Verdict
Klinic wins this one, 6.6 to 5.7, above all for seeing what it charges before you answer any medical questions. Fridays undercuts it by $50 a month, so if the monthly bill is what decides it, Fridays is the pick. Fridays fits better if coaching bundled into the price rather than sold separately is your priority.
