- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account

- No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
- Does not yet publicly name its 503A/B pharmacy partner
Zappy Health
Zappy Health is a telehealth weight-loss platform offering both compounded and brand-name GLP-1: compounded semaglutide from $159/month and tirzepatide from $299/month, plus brand Wegovy and Zepbound.

- Flat pricing that doesn't increase as your dose goes up
