Oak review
Some of the lowest headline stickers I found ($119 semaglutide / $185 tirzepatide) with a fully async, no-video signup — but those prices need a multi-month commitment, and there are no refunds once it ships.

How I scored Oak
Every factor here comes from Oak's own pricing, its disclosures and the signup I walked, and the six add up to the 78/100 Mom-Tested Score on the same weighted six-factor method I use on every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
One of the easiest starts on my list — very little stands between you and a real answer.
Scores low: pinning down the real ongoing number takes work.
Covers what most moms need, if not every option.
Wide coverage, but worth confirming your own state before you commit.
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.
How I verified this review

$119 and $185 need a multi-month plan; a single month runs closer to $235 and $285. No refunds once the medication ships, and an arbitration clause with a class-action waiver in the terms. No named pharmacy or medical director, and the site and third parties disagree on how many states it reaches.
What to expect when you sign up
I walked Oak's public signup funnel (July 2026) — a first-hand look at the flow. I don't create accounts, enter medical info, or check out, so this is what any visitor sees, not a patient outcome.
- 1Fill out a short async health form — no video call required for approval
- 2A provider reviews it, often within hours
- 3Pick a monthly or quarterly plan; the lowest advertised prices are on the longer commitments
- 4Medication ships to you — but note there are no refunds once it does
What I noticed
- The $119/$185 headlines need a multi-month plan; a single month is a lot more (~$235 sema / ~$285 tirz per third-party trackers)
- The terms include no refunds once medication ships, plus a binding-arbitration/class-action waiver
- No medical director or pharmacy is named on the site, and state coverage is fuzzy (site says 50, a review says ~45)
Pricing
Prices re-verified
| Medication | Monthly | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide | $119 | Starting (longer plan)Homepage 'from' price; the low number needs a multi-month plan. A single month runs higher (~$235 per third-party trackers). |
| Compounded tirzepatide | $185 | Starting (longer plan)'From' price on a longer plan; a single month runs higher (~$285). |
HSA and FSA usually work for this — worth checking your own plan. The prices here are what Oak's public disclosures showed at last review, and they change often; confirm the current number on Oak's own site.
What I like
- Very low advertised starting prices on both semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Fully async — no video visit to schedule, with provider review often within hours
- Monthly or quarterly plans if you want to lock in the lower rate
The caveats
- The low prices require a multi-month commitment — a single month costs much more
- No refunds once medication ships, plus a binding-arbitration/class-action waiver
- No named medical director or pharmacy published
- State coverage is unclear (site says 50, a review says ~45), and no postpartum/PCOS framing
What I actually think of Oak
Some of the lowest headline stickers I found ($119 semaglutide / $185 tirzepatide) with a fully async, no-video signup — but those prices need a multi-month commitment, and there are no refunds once it ships. It runs about $119/month — toward the cheaper end of what I walked.
I look at Oak 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 Oak really costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Starting (longer plan): $119/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Starting (longer plan): $185/mo
That's under the roughly $179 median I found across the providers I walked — real money back in the grocery budget.
Which meds Oak prescribes
Oak prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two with the strongest published weight-loss numbers, and having both on one account genuinely matters if insulin resistance is in the mix (which it often is with PCOS or after gestational diabetes), because that's when tirzepatide tends to be the better fit. 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 Oak is — and isn't — for
A good fit if…
- money is the actual barrier and you want a low, predictable number you can plan around.
- you might need to move between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and hormones shift.
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?
I'll be honest: I couldn't verify much — Oak publishes little about how the program actually runs, so you're buying on price and trust in its partners. 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.
One line that's true of every provider on this site: no GLP-1 is established as safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and the labels say don't. This is me reviewing a commercial signup, not giving you a green light — the timing call is yours and your clinician's.
So, would I use it?
Oak 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: Budget-driven moms who want the lowest sticker and a nap-friendly async signup, and who will read the commitment and no-refund terms before committing.
If Oak 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
Oak, answered
- Is Oak's $119 price the real monthly?
- Only if you commit to a longer plan. The $119 semaglutide and $185 tirzepatide are 'from' prices that ride on a multi-month plan; buy a single month and third-party trackers put it closer to $235 and $285. So the sticker is real, but it's the committed-plan rate, not a casual month-to-month. If you're the kind of person who wants to try one month first, price that single month honestly before you fall for the headline.
- Can I get a refund from Oak if it doesn't work out?
- This is the caveat I'd read twice: Oak's terms include no refunds once your medication ships, plus a binding-arbitration and class-action waiver. That's more buyer-beware than most, and it pairs with a low sticker for a reason. If a clean exit matters to you — and for a lot of moms starting something new, it does — that friction is worth weighing against the savings.
- Do I need a video visit for Oak?
- No — Oak is async. You fill out a short online health form, a provider reviews it (often within hours), and there's no scheduled video call for approval, which is genuinely nap-friendly. Just balance that convenience against the thinner transparency: no named medical director or pharmacy is published, and the exact state coverage isn't clear.
Pricing, states and verification reflect Oak'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.
