Hello Alpha vs TrimRx price
TrimRx publishes $299 a month. Hello Alpha does not post a GLP-1 price we can quote, so you would only learn its cost after an intake.
Medications and formats
TrimRx lists semaglutide and tirzepatide; Hello Alpha does not name its drug.
On format, Hello Alpha posts no priced format, while TrimRx prices compounded injections and brand-name pens.
If you want the FDA-approved brand rather than a compounded version, TrimRx is the only one of the two with a brand-name price.
Where each one treats patients
Neither Hello Alpha nor TrimRx publishes the states it serves, so enter your state at the very start of each sign-up.

About Hello Alpha
Neither a cash price nor a complete state list is spelled out publicly. What Hello Alpha, once called Alpha Medical, does spell out is a wide drug menu: Wegovy, Ozempic, Rybelsus, Zepbound and Mounjaro under their brand names, the oral GLP-1 Foundayo, and further oral weight-loss drugs beyond those. Insurance is part of the model, and an online membership carries ongoing clinician care.
Read our full Hello Alpha 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.
