Pricing in context
How TMates's monthly price sits against the category median and the cheapest provider we track.
What we found on their site
Read on TMates's own website in October 2026. Quoted text is theirs.
- The plan selector lists "1 Month" at "$249", with longer plans down to "$158/mo" for "12 Months", paid as "$1900" up front.
- The page offers a "Format" choice of "Injectable" or "Oral" and badges the program "Same Price All Doses" and "Medication Included".
- Asked where it ships, the page answers: "We ship to most states. Availability is based on medical eligibility."
What we like
- Each molecule comes as an injection or an oral option, at the same price either way
- Flat pricing across every dose — 0.25 mg to 2.4 mg semaglutide, 2.5 mg to 15 mg tirzepatide
- Month-to-month plans at $249 and $297, with medication, ongoing support and free shipping included
- Full refund if you are not approved, and the site says you can cancel any time
The caveats
- The monthly price is on the high side for compounded semaglutide; the lower $158 and $167 figures require paying for 12 months up front
- The site says it ships to "most states" without listing which
- No refund once a prescription has been written and sent to the pharmacy
- The dispensing pharmacy is not named, and the site's FAQ describes insurance acceptance that does not fit a cash-priced compounded program

Pricing & state data come from TMates's public site and our master provider matrix. The Match Score and its sub-scores are our editorial judgment per the methodology. Commercial facts only — prices change, so confirm on TMates's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
TMates is a telehealth service selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, and its main draw is choice: each comes as a weekly injection or an oral option at the same price, and the price does not change as your dose goes up. Month to month, semaglutide is $249 and tirzepatide is $297, with medication, support and shipping included. Committing longer cuts the rate to as little as $158 and $167, but that means paying for a full year up front. The site says you can cancel any time, and you get a full refund if you are not approved, but nothing back once a prescription has gone to the pharmacy. It says it ships to most states without listing them. It suits someone who wants the option of skipping needles. Bottom line: flexible on format, middling on monthly price.
