Pricing
Gala
$179/mo on a yearly subscription, all doses included. Gala's FAQ says 'starting at just $199 per month (with a 3-month plan).' A promo page offers 'starting at $129/month with $120 off your first shipment' on monthly, 3-, 6- and 12-month plans. Exact plan prices appear only after the intake questionnaire.
$179/month on a yearly subscription, all doses included; the $120-off-first-shipment promo applies. Tirzepatide plan prices are shown only after intake.
$149/month, yearly subscription; 'Low-dose GLP-1/GIP for sustained energy, sleep and metabolic balance.'
'Ozempic® Brand-name semaglutide $1,299/month' — unchanged. Wegovy pill still 'Coming soon / Pricing at launch' (not a priced row).
Näky
What each price covers
Both prices cover shipping.
Gala's price also covers the clinician visit and the medication itself, which Näky does not claim.
Gala is silent on lab work and coaching.
Näky is silent on the clinician visit, the medication itself, lab work and coaching.
That matters most for the drug: unless Näky confirms otherwise, budget for medication on top of its listed price.

About Gala
A yearly subscription is the format: compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide are sold that way, with a cheaper microdosing program beside them and brand-name Ozempic on the same menu. The corporate name is AI Coaching Inc., which does business as Gala GLP-1 and is incorporated in Delaware. Providers licensed in every one of the 50 states, plus shipping at no cost, are what the marketing site claims. A Wegovy pill taken orally is flagged as coming soon.
Read our full Gala review →About Näky
Pricing at steady state stays behind the intake. Näky holds LegitScript approval and sells compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, adds an oral semaglutide drops product that few others carry, runs a GLP-1 microdose program separately, and offers NAD+ and Sermorelin on top. Getting started means a 3-minute assessment online, after which a licensed provider returns a treatment plan the same day. For the oral line a NAKY10 promo code is referenced.
