Compounded: semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide. Prices span from $199/mo for brand Wegovy down to $80/mo for compounded liraglutide.

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 it publishes nothing, that absence is what gets scored. Every seller in the register goes through the same six columns.

Value25%

7.1/10

$199/month is 25% below the register median of $267 for compounded tirzepatide.

Effectiveness25%

10.0/10

Dispenses liraglutide and semaglutide and tirzepatide, including the FDA-approved product. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).

User Experience15%

3.0/10

On the seller's own pages, no price appears until the medical intake is finished.

Trust & Safety15%

4.0/10

does not name a dispensing pharmacy; withholds price until after the intake. Our verification confidence is medium.

Accessibility10%

5.0/10

Publishes no list of states served, so coverage cannot be confirmed either way. Capped at the midpoint — this measures disclosure, not reach.

Support10%

5.0/10

States too little about what the monthly cost covers to score the bundle. Held at the midpoint rather than assumed.

Price, availability, and compliance here are read off the seller's own pages and off primary regulatory records, named in the sources below. Editorial confidence in this data: medium.

What signing up with Alloy involves

Assembled from this seller’s entry in the register — the price record, the state list, the dispensing pharmacy where one is named, and what the monthly figure covers. It describes what a reader can expect to meet on the way to a prescription, and what is missing from the seller’s own disclosures. It is not a clinical judgment and not a prescribing decision.

  1. 1Alloy does not show a price until you have worked through its medical questionnaire. Budget for the fact that you cannot compare it against anything until you have handed over health information.
  2. 2The intake is a written questionnaire. No live video visit or baseline bloodwork is recorded as required.
  3. 3Alloy does not say which pharmacy dispenses the medication. That is common here and it means you cannot check the pharmacy's record before you buy.
Price shown only after intake
  • Cheapest standing monthly prices on record: semaglutide $169, tirzepatide $199, liraglutide $214. Membership fees, first-month rates and insured copays are excluded from those figures.
  • No state list is published, so whether Alloy serves your state cannot be confirmed from its site.
  • 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.

In its favor

  • Semaglutide at $169 a month, within the normal band around this register's $189 median for the same drug and form
  • No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register

Against it

  • No price appears until the medical intake is complete, so the cost cannot be compared before health information is submitted
  • 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 liraglutide and 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

The median across the GLP-1 providers we track is about $169/month, so this lands mid-market — close enough that the deciding factor is unlikely to be price.

Found dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $149/month, which makes it the honest comparison to run before committing here.

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 demonstrated equal to the shot.

What we could verify

Alloy publishes little that can be checked from outside an intake. We searched the federal warning-letter record for this operator and came back with nothing. Because the medication is compounded and no dispensing pharmacy is named publicly, the single most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. A seller that will not answer that has told you something. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price evidence is set out in our scoring methodology.

Who should look elsewhere

  • You need to bill insurance. Like most of this market, this is cash-pay.

It fits if

  • injections are the thing keeping you from starting

Our read

Alloy lands mid-market on price without a standout advantage or an obvious problem. It comes down to whether its particular package fits.

Alloy falls below our bar on medical oversight. Read the breakdown below before you give it money.

Where Alloy is the wrong choice

No seller in this register suits every reader, and saying otherwise would be the easiest way to sell one. On these four counts another entry does better.

  • If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Telos Rx (from $99/mo).
  • If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider Oak.
