Last published standing prices were $199/mo injectable semaglutide and $299/mo injectable tirzepatide (seen September 1, 2026). Since September 2 the homepage, both product pages and the FAQ show only a '$99 first month' price for each injectable (tablets $149 / $199 first month) under a '$99 GLP-1 Injections: While Supplies Last' banner, with no renewal rate anywhere, so it has no standing price on record. Plans are subscriptions with no contract, cancel anytime; the refund FAQ notes promotional discounts may be reversed if you cancel before the end of a promotional term. Re-checked September 26, 2026: still only first-month prices ($99 injections 'while supplies last', tablets $149 semaglutide / $199 tirzepatide first month). Re-read November 6, 2026: unchanged.
