Midi Health

Metabolic-Fit 72/100 · Grade C

A menopause-focused program that bills insurance for eligible visits. The visit is covered in network or $250 self-pay, and the medication is billed separately from $164 per four-week supply — both figures published. It's built for perimenopause, not the postpartum year.

  • $1.33 less per month on average than Zera Health
  • serves all 50 states, where Zera Health lists 50 states (claimed)
  • scores 72/100 against Zera Health's 40

Trimi Health

Metabolic-Fit 80/100 · Grade B−

Price-first and nationwide: flat, all-inclusive compounded pricing at $175 and $235 month to month, down to $99 and $125 on a 12-month plan — strong if you read the prepay fine print.

ShedRx

Metabolic-Fit 76/100 · Grade C

The widest menu on our list — injections, sublingual lozenges, daily drops, four brand-name pens and the approved oral GLP-1 — with three compounding pharmacies named, prices published for every plan length, and cancellation terms among the most restrictive we have read.

Trellis Vitality

Metabolic-Fit 61/100 · Grade C

Trellis Vitality is the cheapest genuinely-disclosed option on this page: $150 a month for compounded semaglutide and $199 for tirzepatide, month to month, with every dosage available at the same price and no membership fee, no consult fee and a $0 assessment. Commit for three or six months and those fall to $140/$133 and $189/$179. It names the pharmacy that compounds the medication — Vials Rx, described as a US state-licensed, cGMP-compliant facility — which is the disclosure most of its cheaper competitors skip, and it covers all 50 states with board-certified clinicians reviewing intake. The caveats are about what it doesn't sell and doesn't say. There is no FDA-approved brand option, no oral formulation, and none of its pricing appears on the homepage at all — you have to reach the GLP-1 product page to find a single number, which makes it look more opaque than it actually is. There is also no postpartum, breastfeeding or PCOS content anywhere.

HealthRX

Metabolic-Fit 57/100 · Grade C

$165/mo semaglutide and $214/mo tirzepatide month to month, dropping to $97 and $177 on a 12-month plan — with a genuinely itemized exclusion list that explicitly screens out pregnancy, planned pregnancy, and breastfeeding rather than staying silent on it.

  • $14 less per month on average than Zera Health
  • serves all 50 states, where Zera Health lists 50 states (claimed)

Idgie Health

Metabolic-Fit 53/100 · Grade C

About as much as anyone in this category tells you: four formats with full plan tables, and both the pharmacy and the prescribing physician named with addresses. Nothing here addresses nursing, postpartum timing or PCOS.

Cora Health

Metabolic-Fit 53/100 · Grade C

  • $4 less per month on average than Zera Health
