Visit NextMeds →Two GLP-1 Providers chasing the same patients, trading off price, geography and what lands in the box differently. On our scoring, NextMeds opens cheaper — $79/mo against $99, and YourEra is where most people should begin. What follows: the prices, what each plan actually covers, the six-dimension score, where each one is weak, and who should pick which.
Pricing
YourEra
Site advertises 'As low as $99/month — same price at every dose' (July 2026; earlier first-month framing dropped). Exact standing rate confirmed at intake.
Same $99 'as low as' price advertised for weekly semaglutide or tirzepatide injections.
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 YourEra
Injections of compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide begin at $99 for the first month; what the price becomes after that is settled once the medical intake is done. Everything, doctor visits and prescriptions alike, happens remotely. YourEra carries LegitScript certification. To its credit the site says outright that what it sells is not Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or Zepbound, which is candid for this category.

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.

YourEra
What we like

Watch-outs
- 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
- 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
