Alternatives to Fridays

I kept reading $117 and $150 and thinking that seemed impossibly cheap, and then I found the four words sitting under every one of them: "Paid annually, delivered monthly." That's a year, up front. If you want to pay as you go — which is what I'd want with a medication I might not tolerate — it's $249 for compounded semaglutide and $359 for tirzepatide, and Fridays does print both, which I appreciated. What stopped me was the "96.8% success rate" next to the before-and-after photos. Go read that footnote. It's measuring whether packages arrive.

Why you might look past Fridays

  • The lowest compounded rates require annual prepayment; published month-to-month rates are $249 for semaglutide and $359 for tirzepatide
  • That "96.8% success rate" isn't about weight loss at all: their own footnote calls it "internal fulfillment and delivery performance for paid orders" and says it "does not represent clinical outcomes"
  • The pricing page still has an unfinished placeholder on it — three plan cards read "Save up to $xxx", and all three quote the same $99/mo for different plan lengths
