- The first month of membership is $39, then $149/mo.
- The app is clean, and the alerts and refills work well.

Cons
- New patients cannot join the compounded program. It closed in March 2026.
- A renewal charge you did not expect is the complaint members raise most.

- Support gets slow when demand spikes.
- Branded Zepbound is $449/mo here, no cheaper than the shelf price.
