Graded #338 · C
Strengths
- Both molecules are priced on one page, each quoted as medication and programme charge included rather than as a bare drug price
- A six-month commitment brings tirzepatide down to $133/mo, and the term is published rather than hidden
- The first month of the membership is free
Where it loses points
- A $75/mo membership is marketed as a separate product, and whether it is charged on top of the $149 medication rate is not stated anywhere we could find
- The $133/mo tirzepatide rate advertised on the homepage requires a six-month commitment; the month-to-month rate is $224
- Both figures are 'starting at' rates, so the cost of a titrated dose is not published
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
Graded #61 · 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')
