Semaglutide from $80/mo puts Budget Fit at a solid 82 — fair mid-market value.
Limited or undisclosed state coverage can slow your start, for a below-par 71 on Speed to Start.
RxPepsDirect sticks to compounded injectables, for a below-par 72 on Formulary Match.
Support lands at a below-par 72 — lighter, meds-first support.
Flexibility scores a below-par 55 — fewer levers to flex your plan.
Thinner public disclosure than the top of the ranking keeps Transparency at a below-par 46.
Pricing in context
How RxPepsDirect's monthly price sits against the category median and the cheapest provider we track.
What we found on their site
Loaded rxpepsdirect.com on August 2026. Quoted text is theirs.
- Pricing is quoted per vial rather than per month — figures of $25, $37.50, $45, $175, $225, $400 and $800 appear against products — so any monthly number is arithmetic over a dose, not a rate the provider publishes.
- The page states "No commitment." alongside that per-vial pricing, so the constraint is the dosing arithmetic rather than a contract.
What we like
- Industry-lowest GLP-1 pricing: compounded semaglutide from $25/vial, tirzepatide from $45/vial — no subscription or recurring commitment required
- Real 503A telehealth Rx: licensed NP/PA prescribers + MD medical director (Dr. Jonathan Snipes, NPI 1821250077); patient-specific Rx dispensed by
- FedEx overnight shipping at $15 flat; ships pre-reconstituted and includes syringes, alcohol wipes, and reusable cooled travel case
- Independent batch COA testing by Eagle Analytical (FDA-registered, A2LA ISO 17025): 54/54 sterility and endotoxin passes published publicly on
- No subscription required; $39 flat visit fee covers up to 3 peptides per Rx; pay per vial with no ongoing commitment
The caveats
- The medication is sold per milligram rather than per month, so the bill rises with every titration — the quoted figures are a starting protocol only, and no price is published for the dose you end up on
- The $39 medical visit fee is charged on every order, not once, and $15 flat shipping is added to each order as well
- The dosing behind the quoted price is twice-weekly at 0.15 mg semaglutide, below the 0.25 mg weekly labeled starting dose — a microdose protocol, not the labeled schedule
- Not available in California, and 28 states in total
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products

RxPepsDirect, answered
Is RxPepsDirect legit?
RxPepsDirect is a real, operating GLP-1 telehealth program. LegitScript certification is the third-party check worth asking for — look for the seal on their site and confirm your prescriber is US-licensed at intake. Like most programs here it dispenses compounded GLP-1s, which are made by a licensed pharmacy but aren't FDA-approved.
How much does RxPepsDirect cost?
RxPepsDirect lists compounded semaglutide from $80/mo and tirzepatide from $61/mo — below our category median of $199/mo. These are the provider's public figures at our last review (August 2026); confirm on their site, since some teaser tiers step up after month one.
Does RxPepsDirect ship to my state?
RxPepsDirect operates in a limited set of states (28 states). If yours isn't on that list, you'll need a nationwide provider instead.
RxPepsDirect vs WellMedr — which should I pick?
They score within a few points of each other: RxPepsDirect at 66/100 and WellMedr at 65/100, so neither wins on the headline number. RxPepsDirect is the better fit for people who want lowest per-vial GLP-1 cost: compounded sema $25, tirz $45, $39 telehealth Rx, no subscription, 28 states. WellMedr suits people who want a low-dose or oral GLP-1 option that is a real product rather than a smaller injection, and who will read the term attached to a price before they read the number. Run the quiz and the weighting shifts to whichever of those matters more to you.
