A yearly subscription is the format: compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide are sold that way, with a cheaper microdosing program beside them and brand-name Ozempic on the same menu. The corporate name is AI Coaching Inc., which does business as Gala GLP-1 and is incorporated in Delaware. Providers licensed in every one of the 50 states, plus shipping at no cost, are what the marketing site claims. A Wegovy pill taken orally is flagged as coming soon.

How Gala scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Gala 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%
9.2/10$149/month is 44% below the register median of $267 for compounded tirzepatide.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, including the FDA-approved product. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%

Trust & Safety15%
7.5/10does not name a dispensing pharmacy; shows a price before asking for health information; publishes its state list. Our verification confidence is medium.

A seller that will not show a price before an intake loses points on Value and carries that note in its review. Withholding the number is itself a finding. How we score →

What signing up with Gala 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.
- 1Gala publishes a price on its own site before asking anything about you. You can compare it against this register without starting a questionnaire.
- 2The intake is a written questionnaire. No live video visit or baseline bloodwork is recorded as required.
- 3Gala 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.
- 4The monthly price is recorded as covering medication, consult, shipping.
- Cheapest standing monthly prices on record: semaglutide $179, tirzepatide $149. Membership fees, first-month rates and insured copays are excluded from those figures.
- Coverage is published for all 50 states.
- 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.

Main site: $179/mo yearly subscription, all doses included. Home FAQ: 'starting at just $199 per month (with a 3-month plan).'

Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here was read off Gala'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
- Tirzepatide at $149 a month, 44% below the $267 median for the same drug and form across this register
- Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
- The monthly price is recorded as flat across doses, so it does not climb as the dose is titrated up
- The monthly figure covers medication, consult, shipping
- Coverage is published for all 50 states
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Against it
- 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
What Gala charges
Gala advertises $129. That buys the first month. The standing rate is $149/month, and that is the one worth doing arithmetic on, because the introductory figure applies once.
- Compounded semaglutide — $129 first month, then $179/month
- Compounded tirzepatide — $179/month
- Compounded tirzepatide — $149/month
- Brand-name semaglutide — $1299/month
Across the GLP-1 providers in our register the median standing price is about $169/month, so Gala is genuinely under the middle rather than merely advertising that it is.
Found, at about $149/month, is the closest thing we track to a like-for-like alternative.
What Gala dispenses
Gala prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the two molecules with the largest published weight-loss trial programs behind them. 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.
What we could verify
On the record: it treats patients in all 50 states. 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 would be choosing on the advertised figure. The introductory month is real, but it is not what you will be paying in month three.
- You need to bill insurance. Like most of this market, this is cash-pay.
It fits if
- the lowest standing monthly cost is what you are solving for
- you want the price to stop moving as your dose climbs
- you want a cheap way to find out whether the medication suits you before committing
- you need access regardless of where you live
Our read
Gala is a cheap way to start and an ordinary way to continue. Use the $129 month for what it is good for — establishing whether the medication works for you — and re-run the numbers against $149/month before you let it renew twice.
The Bottom Line
Gala's strongest column is the clinical side — which molecules it will prescribe, and how it handles dosing.

Where Gala 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.
