Visit Trimi HealthThe verdict
Trimi Health edges out Direct Meds on the Mom-Tested Score, 85 to 75 (B vs C). Budget-driven moms for whom the monthly price is the deciding factor, who are okay with compounded meds and will read the prepay terms before committing to a year.
Direct Meds is still a genuine option — injection or sublingual, both molecules — but I'm only listing it with the warnings attached: a 2025 FDA warning letter and a BBB complaint pattern around surprise 3-month charges make cancellation the real risk here. Weigh the six mom factors below against your own priorities.

Direct Meds
Ranked #10 · Grade C
What we like
- Semaglutide and tirzepatide in both injection and sublingual formats
- All-inclusive pricing covers medication, consultation, supplies, and shipping
- Named 503A pharmacy partners (CraftedRx, ChemistryRx); LegitScript certified
The caveats
- September 2025 FDA warning letter for marketing compounded GLP-1s as equivalent to FDA-approved drugs
- BBB 1.12/5 across 226 reviews citing a hidden 3-month commitment (charges of $940+)
- Auto-renews until you cancel by email; complaints report retention friction
Trimi Health
Ranked #4 · Grade B
What we like
- Some of the lowest flat, all-inclusive pricing I tracked — and it's the same at every dose
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide, nationwide across all 50 states
- Names its Medical Director and its compounding pharmacies, with a certificate of analysis on request
The caveats
- The headline $99/$125 rates need annual prepay — month-to-month is a lot higher
- Trustpilot rating is currently suppressed for a guidelines breach
- Compounded only, and zero postpartum, breastfeeding or PCOS framing
