The compounded ladder is complete, on the right page
Each compounded product page prints four rungs — monthly, three-month, six-month and twelve-month — with the billing cadence spelled out beside each one rather than implied. The page states that the price is the same at every dose, and lists what the plan includes: supplies, shipping, the prescription if you are eligible, and ongoing medical support.
The first-order discount is handled better than most. Effecty states it as a fixed deduction that grows with the plan length, rather than advertising a low promotional monthly rate that quietly rises in month two. You can see what comes off the first bill and what the bill is afterward.
The catch is which page you land on. The catalog page prints only three of the four rungs and only two of the four footnotes, so the ladder is complete on the product page and ambiguous on the page most readers arrive at. If you are pricing Effecty, open the product page for the drug you want and read the ladder there.
Brand and compounded, priced in the same grid
Effecty publishes a cash figure for Zepbound, Mounjaro, Ozempic and Wegovy in the same catalog grid as its compounded plans. The distance between the two routes is the entire argument of this category, and here you can see it without leaving the page.
Read the footnotes on those brand rows before you use the numbers. They are tied to a three-month or a twelve-month supply purchase, which is not the same thing as a monthly cash price you could pay once. The compounded and the brand figures in that grid are not measured the same way.
Nothing in the grid is an insurance price. These are cash figures, and what your own plan would charge for an FDA-approved GLP-1 is a separate question that Effecty does not answer.
No membership, and the fee question answered in one sentence
The FAQ says there is no membership fee and no hidden cost, and that shipping, support and unlimited communication with a licensed provider are inside the medication price. The priced pages carry the same line as a checklist item.
Twenty-two of the fifty-six sellers compared here charge no membership, so this is a real advantage over the sellers that split the bill in two, but it is not a rare one. What it does mean is that the plan figure is the whole recurring charge, which is the arithmetic most readers get wrong when comparing this category.
A rotating banner offering a discount code runs seven times on a single page, and the amount it saves depends on a plan length the banner never states. The real answer is on the product page, where each rung carries its own first-order deduction.
Four brands, one prescribing group
Effecty describes its providers as a category: board-certified, US-licensed, and paired with you in your state. No individual is named anywhere on the site — no medical director, no prescriber, nobody. Twenty-one of the fifty-six sellers here name no prescriber, and this is one of them.
What its terms do name is the clinical entity, Wasef Health P.A. Five of the fifty-six sellers on this roster prescribe through Wasef Health: Effecty, Ondra Health, Gimme Care, Trava Health and Cora Health. Separate companies, separate prices, separate websites, one clinical group.
That is legal and unremarkable in telehealth, and it is still the most decision-relevant fact for anyone shortlisting several of these brands at once. A reader with four tabs open thinks they are comparing four physician networks. They are comparing four price cards over one prescribing operation. Compare on price, plan terms, pharmacy disclosure and state coverage — those genuinely differ — and treat the clinical review as the same across the group.
Effecty is also plain about what it is not, which is worth crediting: it states that it is a technology platform connecting people to independent licensed providers, and that it does not practice medicine or prescribe.
The pharmacy nobody names, and a copyright line from last year
No compounding pharmacy is named on any page. The disclaimer under the catalog says medication is dispensed by state-licensed pharmacies including compounding pharmacies, and the FAQ refers to a trusted pharmacy partner in the singular without saying who it is. Fourteen of the fifty-six sellers here name a pharmacy; this is not one of them.
Effecty publishes its own patient-reported outcome numbers with the sample size attached and a caveat saying they have not been independently verified. Small and self-reported, and labeled as such, which is better practice than a percentage with nothing behind it.
Two housekeeping details a careful reader will notice: the terms are governed by Delaware law with arbitration in New York, and the copyright line still reads 2025 on a site quoting current prices. Neither changes the offer. Both are the kind of thing that tells you how closely the pages are maintained.
Effecty's published pricing
| Medication | Price | Verified |
|---|---|---|
| Semaglutide (compounded) | $170/mo"How much does treatment cost? / Compounded GLP-1 - Semaglutide / Monthly / Billed monthly / $170 / $75 off 1st order", with the ladder beneath it: "3-Month / Billed every 3 months / $150", "6-Month / Billed every 6 months / $140", "12-Month Best value / Billed yearly / $130". The page states "Same price at every dose" and "Every plan includes supplies, free shipping, prescription (if eligible) and ongoing medical support." | September 2026source |
| Semaglutide (compounded) | $130/mo"12-Month Best value / Billed yearly / $130 / $300 off 1st order" - the floor of the same ladder, recorded so the cheapest figure the seller advertises is visibly a year paid in one charge. | September 2026source |
| Tirzepatide (compounded) | $235/mo"Compounded GLP-1 + GIP - Tirzepatide / Monthly / Billed monthly / $235 / $75 off 1st order", with "3-Month ... $210", "6-Month ... $200" and "12-Month Best value / Billed yearly / $190" beneath. | September 2026source |
| Tirzepatide (brand) | $1400/mo"Zepbound(R) / Weight Loss / $1,400 /month". The catalogue prints four branded cash prices in the same grid as the compounded ones - "Mounjaro(R) ... $1,300", "Ozempic(R) ... $1,300", "Wegovy(R) ... $1,600" - each carrying the same footnotes, "* Price for purchase of 3 month supply" and "* Price for purchase of 12 month supply". | September 2026source |
| Semaglutide (brand) | $1600/mo"Wegovy(R) / Weight Loss / $1,600 /month" in the same catalogue grid. Recorded because it is the highest branded figure the seller publishes and shows what the compounded route is being compared against on its own page. | September 2026source |

See Effecty's current price →Good fit if
- Readers who want the compounded and the brand-name cash price for the same molecule visible on one page before choosing a route.
- Buyers who want four plan lengths with the billing cadence stated beside each, rather than a starting-at figure.
- People who want the first-order discount stated as a deduction instead of a promotional rate that rises in month two.
- Patients who want no membership charge layered on top of the medication figure.
Look elsewhere if
- Anyone comparing several of these new arrivals as independent clinical operations. Effecty, Ondra Health, Gimme Care, Trava Health and Cora Health — five of the fifty-six here — prescribe through Wasef Health. Peak Wellness uses a different provider group and names six clinicians.
- Readers who need the compounding pharmacy named. Direct Meds names both of its pharmacies with street addresses, Ondra Health names six with their regulatory class, and Cora Health names two.
- Buyers who want a named prescriber before starting. Nobody is named here; CareBareRX names its prescribing physicians and Midi Health names individual clinicians.
- Anyone reading only the catalog page. It prints three of the four price rungs and two of the four footnotes; the product page is the one with the full ladder.
How this review was verified
- Read both compounded product pages, the weight-loss catalog page, the FAQ and the terms, and read each of them a second time at least sixty seconds after the first, so a figure or a rung that changed between loads would show itself.
- Ran a nonsense path against the same host in the same run, so a 200 from this site could be distinguished from a host that answers every path. Nothing was recorded until that control behaved as it should.
- Logged all four rungs of each compounded ladder from the product pages, and recorded separately that the catalog page prints only three of them, rather than treating the two pages as one source.
- Recorded the four branded cash figures with the seller's own supply-quantity footnotes in the qualifier, so a brand figure cannot travel into a comparison as a plain monthly price.
- Checked the membership answer against both the FAQ sentence and the checklist item on the priced pages before recording that no membership is charged.
- Confirmed that no individual clinician and no pharmacy is named on any page read, then checked the clinical entity in the terms against every other row on this roster. Five of the fifty-six name Wasef Health.
