Maves review
Semaglutide starts at $89/month on its dedicated treatment card — though the homepage hero separately advertises '$99 first month,' an unreconciled discrepancy — with tirzepatide listed but not separately priced anywhere public; licensed in all 50 states is a genuinely strong, specific claim.

How I scored Maves
Every factor here comes from Maves's own pricing, its disclosures and the signup I walked, and the six add up to the 59/100 Mom-Tested Score on the same weighted six-factor method I use on every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
Scores low here: getting started asks more of your week than most.
Scores low: pinning down the real ongoing number takes work.
Scores low on choice — the medication menu is narrower here.
Scores high: where you live is unlikely to be the obstacle.
Support is the weakest part of this provider's score.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.

$89 a month on the dedicated GLP-1 card — though the homepage says $99 for a first month, and the two never reconcile. Tirzepatide is offered without a separate price. Its clinicians are licensed in all fifty states, territories excluded.
Pricing
Prices re-verified
| Medication | Monthly | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide | $89 | 'Cut Fat' GLP-1 treatment cardThe dedicated GLP-1 treatment card reads 'Cut Fat — GLP-1 Treatments — Starting at $89/month.' The homepage hero banner separately advertises 'GLP-1 treatments starting at $99 first month' — an unreconciled figure. The $89/mo card price is used here as the standing headline since it's the more specific, drug-level number. |
HSA and FSA usually work for this — worth checking your own plan. The prices here are what Maves's public disclosures showed at last review, and they change often; confirm the current number on Maves's own site.
What I like
- LegitScript-certified, with parent company Homera Health disclosed
- Clinicians licensed in all 50 states (excludes territories) — a specific, verifiable claim most competitors don't make
- All-inclusive pricing: consult, medication, clinical support, and free shipping, with no hidden fees stated
The caveats
- Its own homepage ('$99 first month') and GLP-1 treatment card ('$89/month') disagree on the starting price
- Tirzepatide is listed in the nav but has no separately disclosed price anywhere public
- Cancellation terms aren't disclosed on the public site
- No postpartum, breastfeeding, or PCOS framing
What I actually think of Maves
Semaglutide starts at $89/month on its dedicated treatment card — though the homepage hero separately advertises '$99 first month,' an unreconciled discrepancy — with tirzepatide listed but not separately priced anywhere public; licensed in all 50 states is a genuinely strong, specific claim. It runs about $89/month, and it's flat at every dose — toward the cheaper end of what I walked.
I look at Maves the way moms actually have to — not just the real monthly number, but nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. That's the stuff a generic weight-loss review skips right over.
What Maves really costs
- Compounded semaglutide — 'Cut Fat' GLP-1 treatment card: $89/mo
That's under the roughly $179 median I found across the providers I walked — real money back in the grocery budget.
Which meds Maves prescribes
Maves prescribes semaglutide (the active drug in Wegovy and Ozempic). These are compounded from a licensed pharmacy — that's why the price stays down — but compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are, and it's worth knowing that going in.
Who Maves is — and isn't — for
A good fit if…
- you want a real person reading your history around nursing and pregnancy timing, not a quiz that rubber-stamps you.
- money is the actual barrier and you want a low, predictable number you can plan around.
- staying covered no matter where you are matters — a move for family shouldn't blow up your care.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen with its own pregnancy and lactation labeling.
- you want to be able to cancel without a fight — the exit terms are the part of the fine print I'd read twice here.
- you'd rather a prescriber actually talk through nursing and pregnancy timing with you — that's what my #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built to do.
Can you trust it?
My confidence is middling — the core facts hold up, but some details (per-state availability, how the program really runs) aren't fully public. With any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing you can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills it and what's actually in the formulation — I explain how I weigh oversight in the scoring method.
A standing caveat, because I'm a mom writing this and not your doctor: GLP-1 meds aren't established as safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every label advises against it. Nothing here changes that — plan the timing with your own clinician.
So, would I use it?
Maves is a genuine budget play — weigh it against the picks below on nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. For most moms, CoreAge Rx is still the stronger all-round fit — and you can see them side by side in this head-to-head.
The bottom line for moms
Best for: Moms anywhere in the 50 states who want a LegitScript-certified, all-inclusive semaglutide program and don't need tirzepatide priced up front.
If Maves isn't the one
Providers I have a referral relationship with, ordered by Mom-Tested Score — highest first. A fee never moves a score, but it does decide who shows up in this box, so it isn't everyone: my full ranking has every provider, paid or not.
- Visit CoreAge RxMom-Tested Score94/100ACoreAge RxMy #1 pick
The one I'd point a friend to first: I finished the intake in a single nap, the price on screen was the price I'd actually pay, and both semaglutide and tirzepatide were right there on one account.
- Visit Pallas HealthMom-Tested Score86/100B+
Pallas is one of the few places that will sell you either the cheap compounded route or the real brand-name pen without making you pick a provider first — compounded semaglutide works out to about $199 a month and tirzepatide about $299, while actual Zepbound, Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro sit alongside them at cash-pay prices from $1,069. The price genuinely doesn't climb as you titrate, Pallas says so plainly on its own site, and the clinician, dose adjustments, check-ins and messaging are all inside that one number with no membership fee stacked on top. Two clinicians are named and both check out in the federal NPI registry, the LegitScript badge it displays is a real one, and it publishes an actual refund policy — full refund if a clinician turns you down, and a $5 processing fee if you cancel a qualifying payment — which is more paperwork than most of this market bothers with. The two things to know before you commit: it bills every 12 weeks in $597 and $897 chunks rather than monthly, and it never names its compounding pharmacy.
- Visit Trimi HealthMom-Tested Score85/100B
The price-first pick: some of the lowest flat, all-inclusive pricing I found, in all 50 states — great if the monthly number is your whole decision and you read the annual-prepay fine print before you sign.

Head-to-head & alternatives
Maves, answered
- Why does Maves show two different starting prices?
- Its own homepage hero banner says 'starting at $99 first month' while the dedicated GLP-1 treatment card says 'Starting at $89/month' — a real, unreconciled disagreement on the site's own pages. I'm using the $89/mo card price as the headline since it's the more specific, drug-level figure, but confirm the exact number during your own intake.
- Does Maves have a separate tirzepatide price?
- Not that's publicly disclosed. Tirzepatide is listed in the site's navigation alongside semaglutide, but there's no dedicated price for it anywhere public — the $89/mo GLP-1 card doesn't specify which molecule it applies to. Ask directly before assuming it matches the semaglutide rate.
- Is Maves available in my state?
- Almost certainly yes — Maves states its clinicians are licensed in all 50 states, excluding U.S. territories, which is a stronger and more specific claim than most compounded-GLP-1 sites publish.
Pricing, states and verification reflect Maves'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.
