About HumeCare+
Plans open from $199/mo, billed month by month and cancellable whenever, and both the drug and the hardware sit inside that. HumeCare+ comes from Hume Health, the company that sells body-composition scales, and the logic follows: clinician-prescribed compounded GLP-1 semaglutide arrives with a Hume Pod, so the patient can watch whether the weight leaving is fat or muscle. Which states it serves is unpublished, and the marketing site identifies neither the prescribing medical group nor the pharmacy.
Read our full HumeCare+ review →About MadeMed
Nothing is priced in public at MadeMed; the number waits inside the product pages or the checkout. Its catalog runs to four distinct products, compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, each offered as an injection or by mouth, so patients who dislike needles get more choice here than most rivals allow. A LegitScript certification badge is displayed, and unlike chat-only competitors it publishes a phone line for support.

HumeCare+
What we like

- The monthly price includes the medication and clinician visits
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to HumeCare+

Watch-outs
- Tirzepatide costs $299 a month, 20% 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
- 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
