The verdict
Eden takes it on Value Score, 91 to 86 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. RxSpan MD isn't out of it: People who want a wide, doctor-fronted menu with all-inclusive pricing and nationwide coverage, and who will budget against the month-to-month figure rather than the advertised one.

Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
Eden
Eden sells compounded semaglutide for $99 a month and tirzepatide for $129, all-inclusive and the same at every dose, filled by its own pharmacy or vetted partners.
Why it's a deal
- Names its medical team rather than referring to anonymous providers - Dr. Halland Chen, Dr. Rebecca Emch, Dr. Matthew Bennett and Dr. William Lee are listed with their affiliations
- Available in all 50 states, with both molecules and no teaser tier - the rate does not step up as you titrate
- States plainly on its own site that compounded medication is not approved by the FDA and has not been reviewed for safety, effectiveness or quality
- Free expedited shipping on all orders, 24/7 provider messaging, no insurance required and HSA/FSA eligible
The fine print
- Eden's same-price-at-every-dose promise excludes new-member discounts and some plans, so confirm the monthly figure on your checkout screen before you pay
- Eden's custom weight-loss kits are a different product that needs a separate membership ($39 the first month, then $99 a month); the GLP-1 plans do not carry that fee
- FDA issued a warning letter to Eden Health International Inc. dba Eden, dated June 2026. It is public in the FDA warning-letter database and linked from this review so you can read it yourself
- Eden is compounded only - no brand-name Wegovy, Ozempic or Zepbound
- Eden fills prescriptions through its own Eden Pharmacy or unnamed partner pharmacies, so you may not know in advance which one ships your order
RxSpan MD
A broad, physician-led menu - compounded and oral GLP-1 plus an advertised brand-name lane under a named plastic surgeon - priced at $249 a month for semaglutide, with the advertised low rates attached to a plan.
What's good
- Available in all 50 states
- Transparent, all-inclusive published pricing — consult, medication, supplies, shipping and support in one price; cancel or change plans anytime, with the card advertising as low as $175/mo on compounded semaglutide for anyone who commits to a plan
- Both injectable and a real oral (capsule) route, on compounded sema/tirz plus an advertised brand-name lane
- Physician-led by a named, board-certified founder (Dr. John Diaz, plastic surgeon); 24/7 unlimited messaging and coaching, free shipping
The fine print
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved and are not the same as Wegovy, Ozempic or Zepbound
- RxSpan MD's brand-name lane is expensive: $1,069 for a first month of Zepbound, $1,299 for Ozempic and $1,349 for Wegovy
- RxSpan MD's $175 and $243 rates need a 12-month plan paid up front with a promo code, and that plan auto-renews
- Prescription isn't guaranteed at RxSpan MD — a provider reviews eligibility after checkout
