Graded #184 · C
Strengths
- 3-month compounded semaglutide at $169/mo is among the lowest ongoing prices in the category
- Price-lock promise — same price every dose, no hidden fees
- Both compounded and brand-name options on one platform (sema, tirz, plus Ozempic and Zepbound)
- Nationwide availability with async evaluation — no in-person visit
- Broader wellness menu (sermorelin, NAD+, HRT, hair loss) lets you consolidate protocols
Where it loses points
- Compounded medications aren't FDA-approved and lack the review of brand-name GLP-1s
- Pharmacy partners not named — no way to verify the compounding source or batch testing
- Claims nationwide coverage but publishes no state list — confirm at intake
- Headline results (9.6 lbs in 30 days) come from self-reported patient data, not a trial
- Wide wellness funnel may steer you toward non-weight-loss protocols
Graded #63 · C
Strengths
- Compounded semaglutide from $149/mo and tirzepatide from $199/mo, plus a $129/mo microdose option
- Flat pricing — the same monthly cost at every dose as you titrate up
- All-inclusive: medication, unlimited 24/7 provider messaging, and free shipping bundled in
- Names its compounding pharmacy — Strive Pharmacy (licensed 503A)
- Available in all 50 states with same-day approvals
Where it loses points
- Operates as a technology platform, not the medical provider itself
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved (the site discloses this honestly)
- Aggressive marketing results claims (e.g. '18% average', '93% kept it off') with 'results not typical' disclaimers
- Legal entity name not published (footer shows only 'Zera Health')
