What Fridays charges
The standing price at Fridays is $249/month. That sits above the middle of the market, which puts the burden on whatever else is in the package.
- Compounded semaglutide: $249/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $359/month
- Brand-name semaglutide: $1,498/month
- Brand-name tirzepatide: $1,828/month
For compounded semaglutide, the median across the sellers we compare is $185/month, so Fridays' $249 is a premium, and a premium has to buy something. Check what is bundled before you accept it.
Wellorithm dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $247/month, which makes it the fair comparison to run before you commit here.
What Fridays dispenses
Fridays 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.
Safety and disclosure
Fridays tells you the pharmacy that fills its prescriptions. It also offers coaching as part of the plan. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Fridays. Because the medication is compounded, the named pharmacy is the detail that matters most: its license is the one you can look up. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You care most about the twelve-month total, not the first bill. A flat-rate seller such as Collective will usually win that math.
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether Fridays bills your plan before you start.
It fits if
- you want coaching bundled in rather than billed on top
Our read
Fridays costs more than the middle of this market. If the extras it charges for are ones you would actually use, that is a defensible trade. If not, the same molecule is available for less. The catch is disclosure, which is why Fridays scores low on Trust & Safety: settle the pharmacy and pricing questions above before the price decides for you. Direct Meds is the nearest comparison we review, and worth reading alongside this.
