$195/mo compounded GLP-1, same price at every dose
Visit EffectyHold a quarter dose and the bill does not move. The advertised monthly figure needs a year bought at once, and the first month is a coupon rate. Both real numbers are on the page, which is more than most manage.

In one paragraph
The verdict
Take a quarter dose here and you pay exactly what a full dose costs — Effecty says "Same price at every dose" twice, right next to the plan table. It deserves real credit for how it prints the rest. Every plan length appears for both products, with the first-month price and the price afterwards shown separately, so the standing rate is never hidden behind a "from". There is no membership fee, and supplies, shipping, the prescription and medical support sit inside the plan. Three things will cost you. The figure on the marketing pages is the twelve-month prepay, and month to month runs a third higher. The first month is a promotional code rate for new customers only. And the pricing table never names the molecule at all — you are buying a compounded GLP-1 or a compounded GLP-1 plus GIP, with no milligram and no pharmacy written down anywhere.
Microdosing is off-label and unproven — decide with a clinician. Prices are as published by the provider when we last checked; confirm current terms before you buy.
Who it suits, and who it does not
A good fit if
- You are starting low and expect to climb, and want the rate to hold while you do
- You want the first-month price and the recurring price shown separately before you commit
- You want supplies, shipping and the prescription inside one figure with no membership fee
- You can pay twelve months up front and are confident you will stay on the medication that long
Look elsewhere if
- You are taking less to spend less. The figure does not move when your dose does
- You are budgeting from the advertised monthly rate. That one needs a year bought at once
- You want the molecule named on the page you buy from
- You want the compounding pharmacy named before you order
What it actually costs
Price as published
$195/mo compounded GLP-1, same price at every dose
- Vs median
- $20/mo above the $175 median across the 299 of 548 programs here that publish a plain monthly rate
- Market
- $59–$1,300/mo is the full published spread on this site
- Structure
- Same price at every dose
One stated price across doses. A lower dose does not automatically reduce the bill. Compare the complete medication, membership, laboratory and shipping quotes before assuming another plan costs less.
113 of the 548 programs here price a small dose this way. The plan table promises one figure at every dose, so a quarter dose carries the full-dose rate. The lowest figures on the page are a twelve-month prepay and a first-month promotional rate, neither of which is what a continuing patient pays.

How the program works
Effecty sells compounded GLP-1 medication on monthly and prepaid plans, with supplies, shipping, the prescription and ongoing medical support inside each plan and no membership fee. Its pricing table never names semaglutide or tirzepatide — the two products are listed as "Compounded GLP-1" and "Compounded GLP-1 + GIP". It also resells brand-name product at separately quoted monthly rates. It describes itself as "a technology platform that connects individuals with independent licensed medical providers" and says it "does not practice medicine or prescribe medications".
The honest cons
SAME PRICE AT EVERY DOSE. A quarter dose is billed at the full-dose rate, and the difference is medication you bought and did not use
- THE HEADLINE IS A TWELVE-MONTH PREPAY. "$145/month" is the 12-month rate; month to month is $195, 34% higher — though to its credit both figures sit in the same table
- The first month is a promotional rate tied to a code — "EFFECTY100 offer valid for first time customers only" — and the plan reverts afterwards
- The pricing table never names semaglutide or tirzepatide, so what you are buying is "Compounded GLP-1" and "Compounded GLP-1 + GIP" with no molecule and no milligram written down
- Every plan card carries two asterisked footnotes at once — "* Price for purchase of 3 month supply" and "* Price for purchase of 12 month supply" — beside three prices, without saying which footnote belongs to which price
- No compounding pharmacy is named — only "state-licensed compounding pharmacies for treatment fulfillment"
- Effecty states it "does not practice medicine or prescribe medications", so the clinical relationship is with a third party it does not name
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved, and intentional microdosing is off-label and unproven

Intentional GLP-1 microdosing is off-label and unproven — no randomized trial has established that a sub-label dose does anything, and any dose belongs with a clinician who knows your history. If you are going to have that conversation, have it with real numbers.
