How I scored EllieMD
Every factor here comes from EllieMD's own pricing and its disclosures, and the six add up to the 40/100 Mom-Tested Score on the same weighted six-factor method I use on every provider. Some providers are partners, and we may be paid if you sign up through our links.
Scores low: pinning down the real ongoing number takes work.
Scores low: whether it reaches you is the open question.
Scores low on choice — the medication menu is narrower here.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.
Scores low here: getting started asks more of your week than most.
Support is the weakest part of this provider's score.
How I verified this review
- Confidence
- medium
- Primary source
- EllieMD's website
Publicly selected B12 injection packages show GLP-1 subscription totals of $717/$1,374/$2,388 for three/six/twelve months and GLP-1/GIP totals of $897/$1,734/$2,988. These generic categories do not identify exact molecules. One-time packages do not renew; financing terms are separate.
Before you sign up
I opened EllieMD's signup and stopped at the first screen that asked for personal details, so I can't tell you what comes after it. Here's what's worth knowing before you start.
Worth knowing
- Historical August 21 signup observation: no monthly price was visible on the public homepage. Superseded for current pricing by the October 18 public weight-loss selector, which shows selected package totals before intake; no new medical intake was completed.
What I like
- The public selector shows full upfront totals and subscription renewal intervals before intake
- One-time packages are explicitly labeled as nonrenewing alternatives
- Selected injection plans advertise provider care, two-day shipping, treatment materials, nausea medication and labs with no hidden membership, shipping or consultation fees
- The page states an initial twelve-week supply and clinician check-ins every three months
The caveats
- Selected products use generic GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP labels; exact medication identities need confirmation
- The $199 and $249 headline equivalents require twelve-month subscription prepayment, not monthly payment
- Subscription policies retain a three-month minimum and cancellation at least 48 hours before renewal
- A $99 deduction applies after payment but before pharmacy transmission; no refund is available after transmission
- The selector promises fourteen-day renewal reminders, but the terms say reminders are not obligatory
- Separate financing adds a 6% flat surcharge across three installments, with late fees up to $25
- Uses a referral sales model with a brand-partner back office and income disclaimer
The headline price requires a longer commitment
EllieMD’s public weight-loss selector shows prices before a medical intake. The important choice is not just the advertised monthly equivalent: it is the amount charged today and whether the package renews. The injection options checked here were labeled GLP-1 + B12 and GLP-1/GIP + B12. These are generic category labels, not confirmation of an exact prescribed molecule or formulation. I would ask for that identification before comparing them with named medications elsewhere.
Subscription prices and the full charge
For the selected GLP-1 + B12 injection, the three-month subscription is $239 per month equivalent, with $717 charged today. Six months is $229 equivalent and $1,374 upfront; twelve months is $199 equivalent and $2,388 upfront. Each renews at its selected three-, six- or twelve-month interval. The $199 headline is the annual-plan equivalent, not a monthly payment option.
The selected GLP-1/GIP + B12 subscription is $299 per month equivalent for three months, totaling $897; $289 for six months, totaling $1,734; or $249 for twelve months, totaling $2,988. The site claims the same price at every dose. I would confirm that promise for the precise prescription and renewal rather than treat a category-level offer as a quote for every product.
One-time purchases and financing are different choices
The selected one-time packages explicitly do not renew. For GLP-1 + B12, three months is $279 per month equivalent and $837 total; six months is $261 equivalent and $1,566 total; twelve months is $223 equivalent and $2,676 total. For GLP-1/GIP + B12, those choices are $349 and $1,047 total, $329 and $1,974 total, or $279 and $3,348 total, respectively.
Those monthly equivalents are not installment amounts. Separate payment-plan terms describe three installments with a 6% flat surcharge and a late fee of up to $25. I would compare the complete financed charge with the upfront total. The cost comparison guide explains why supply, required services and payment timing need comparing together.
What arrives, and what happens at renewal
The selected plans describe an initial twelve-week supply and a clinician check-in every three months. A longer prepaid term does not mean all medication arrives at once. The page advertises provider care, two-day shipping, treatment materials, nausea medication and labs, with no hidden membership, shipping or consultation fees. Ask how future supplies are authorized and dispatched and what happens if treatment changes.
The selector promises a reminder fourteen days before renewal, while the terms say a reminder is not obligatory. Both give a cancellation deadline of at least 48 hours before renewal. The policies retain an initial three-month minimum, a $99 cancellation deduction after payment but before pharmacy transmission, and no refund after transmission. I would save the applicable terms and set my own reminder.
The questions I would settle before paying
Confirm the exact prescription, state eligibility, total charge, renewal setting and pharmacy handoff. The provider reviews and comparison pages can help organize alternatives, but the lowest equivalent should not decide a medication choice. Oral products, microdose plans and other additives are separate offers whose current prices are not established here. For pregnancy planning or nursing, use the breastfeeding evidence guide to prepare product-specific questions for your own clinical team.
The bottom line for moms
Best for: Someone comparing longer prepaid injection packages with nonrenewing alternatives who will confirm the exact prescription and full upfront charge.

Pricing, states and verification reflect EllieMD's public disclosures at last review; the Mom-Tested Score is one mom's editorial judgment per the published method. This is background reading, not medical advice — GLP-1 medications are not established as safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding. See my medical disclaimer and how I'm funded.
