Alloy centers on menopause, and its Weight Care program lists a GLP-1 formulary no other entry in our catalog matches for breadth. On the brand side: Wegovy, Zepbound, and oral Wegovy. Compounded: semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide. Prices span from $199/mo for brand Wegovy down to $80/mo for compounded liraglutide. The first consult costs $49, and the code STARTGLP1 cuts $50 from month one. The Menopause Society has certified every doctor who consults there.
Is Alloy legit?
Yes. Alloy is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. We rate it 6.2/10 overall, across six areas from price to trust and safety. Legitimate is not the same as right for you, though: that part is a decision for you and a licensed clinician.
Is there an Alloy promo or coupon code?
Alloy publishes the code STARTGLP1 ($50 off your first month of Alloy Weight Care for new customers; $99/mo first month becomes $49). You enter it at checkout on Alloy's own site. Other codes for Alloy circulate on coupon sites, and we cannot vouch for those.

How Alloy scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Alloy has published rather than from an opinion we formed: what it charges, which molecules it will dispense, what its record shows, and what the monthly figure actually buys. Where a seller keeps something back, such as its price or its pharmacy, the score reflects it. Every seller we review goes through the same six columns.
Value25%
6.6/10$199/month is 20% below the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses liraglutide, semaglutide and tirzepatide, including the FDA-approved product. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
3.0/10No price appears until the medical intake is finished.
Trust & Safety15%
4.0/10No pharmacy is named for its prescriptions. Its price appears only after the medical intake.
Accessibility10%
5.0/10No state list is available to check, so this is held at the midpoint rather than scored on reach.
Support10%
5.0/10States too little about what the monthly cost covers to score the bundle. Held at the midpoint rather than assumed.

What signing up with Alloy involves
What to expect on the way to a prescription: where the price appears, who fills the medication, and what the monthly price covers. It is not medical advice, and a clinician makes the prescribing decision.
- 1Alloy shows a price only after you finish its medical questionnaire, so you cannot compare costs until you have shared health information.
- 2Ask Alloy which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay. The pharmacy's name is what lets you check its license.
- Lowest ongoing monthly price: semaglutide $169, tirzepatide $199, liraglutide $214. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- Confirm that Alloy serves your state before you start.
- The medication is compounded, so it is not an FDA-approved product and has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality.

Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here was read off Alloy's own checkout on the date shown. Sellers move prices without announcing it, and promotional rates lapse, so confirm the standing cost on their site before committing.
In its favor
- Semaglutide costs $169 a month, close to the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $199 a month, 20% below the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Alloy
Against it
- 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 liraglutide, semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
What Alloy charges
Alloy lists $169/month.
- Compounded semaglutide: $169/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $199/month
- Compounded liraglutide: $214/month
- Brand-name Wegovy: $298/month
- Brand-name Zepbound: $398/month
For compounded tirzepatide, the median across the sellers we compare is $250/month, so Alloy's $199 is genuinely below the middle, not just advertised that way.
Enhance MD, at about $169/month, is the closest like-for-like alternative we review.
What Alloy dispenses
Alloy prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the two best-evidenced weight-loss molecules currently on the market. The choice is between an FDA-approved pen and a compounded preparation that costs less. Compounding is lawful and often appropriate, but a compounded product is not an approved one, and the price gap is largely that difference.
A needle-free oral option is genuinely uncommon and is the reason some readers will look at Alloy at all. Set expectations on the evidence, though: the published weight-loss trials for these molecules used injections. Oral and sublingual delivery of peptides is far less studied, so treat it as a route that solves the needle problem rather than as a proven equal to the shot.
Safety and disclosure
Before you start an intake, ask Alloy which states it serves, which pharmacy fills its prescriptions and what the monthly price includes. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Alloy. The pharmacy question matters most here because the medication is compounded. If Alloy will not name the pharmacy, treat that as a warning sign. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether Alloy bills your plan before you start.
It fits if
- the lowest standing monthly cost is what you are solving for
- injections are the thing keeping you from starting
Our read
Alloy competes on price: $199/month for compounded tirzepatide. The catch is disclosure, which is why Alloy scores low on Trust & Safety: settle the pharmacy and pricing questions above before the price decides for you.
The Bottom Line
Alloy falls below our bar on disclosure. Read the breakdown below before you give it money.
Before you pay Alloy
Starting at $169 a month. Check today's price, then start the intake.
Where Alloy is the wrong choice
No seller suits every reader, and pretending otherwise is the easiest way to sell one. On these two counts, another seller does better.
- If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Sesame Care (from $59/mo).
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider ShedRx.
