Metabolic-Fit / 100
Fridays review
Every price Fridays advertises — $117, $150, $198, $240 — is a prepaid annual rate. The site says so in small type beside each one: "Paid annually, delivered monthly." If you want to pay by the month, the same compounded semaglutide is $249 and the tirzepatide is $359, both printed on the same page. That is the number to plan around, because a twelve-month prepay is a different financial decision from a subscription you can stop. To Fridays' credit, it names its operator, address and phone in the footer, which most sellers do not.

How we scored Fridays
Every factor comes from Fridays's own published pricing, disclosures and oversight, and the six combine into the 34/100 Metabolic-Fit Score by the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
Cost is unpredictable or sits at the premium end.
No postpartum or breastfeeding framing — a generic weight program.
Thin on the hormonal picture that drives many mothers' weight.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.
Oversight and lab support fall short of the top of this roster — the review below says exactly where.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.
How we verified this review

Read from Fridays' own pricing page in August 2026. Every advertised price — $117, $150, $198, $240 — is marked "Paid annually, delivered monthly", and the same page gives the month-to-month rate as $249 for compounded semaglutide and $359 for compounded tirzepatide. Brand-name Ozempic is $1,498 a month and Zepbound $1,828. The site's "96.8% success rate" is footnoted as internal shipping and fulfillment performance, not a clinical result, and three plan cards still show an unfilled "Save up to $xxx" placeholder. Fridays names its operating company, address and phone in the footer, which is more than most sellers publish.
What to expect when you sign up
We walked Fridays's public signup funnel (August 2026) — a first-hand look at the flow. We don't create accounts, enter medical data, or complete checkout, so this is what any visitor sees, not a patient outcome.
- 1The signup call to action leaves joinfridays.com for app.joinfridays.com, a separate host
What we noticed
- The intake runs on Webflow rather than on the provider's own software
- No monthly price is visible on the public homepage; the number appears only after you begin the intake
- Intake is hosted on app.joinfridays.com, so the company you fill the form in with is not the domain you started on

Many HSA and FSA plans cover GLP-1 telehealth — check yours. These figures are what Fridays's own site disclosed at last review; this market re-prices often, so confirm the current number at the source.
What we like
- Names its legal operator, street address and phone number in the footer — "Thrive Health, Inc. is the legal entity operating Fridays" — which is more disclosure than most of this roster offers
- Prints the month-to-month price on the same page as the annual one instead of hiding it
- Membership, provider visits, coaching and shipping are included at no extra charge on the compounded plans
- Carries brand-name Ozempic and Zepbound as well as compounded versions, with the brand prices published
The caveats
- Every headline price requires a twelve-month prepayment — month-to-month costs $249 for semaglutide and $359 for tirzepatide
- The "96.8% success rate" printed beside before-and-after photos is not a clinical figure: the site's own footnote says it "reflects recent internal fulfillment and delivery performance for paid orders" and "does not represent clinical outcomes"
- The pricing page ships with an unfilled template placeholder — all three Signature Plan cards read "Save up to $xxx" — and all three quote the identical $99/mo for different plan lengths
- The page disagrees with itself on the reference price: one card shows a struck-through $279/mo for compounded semaglutide, another shows $249/mo
- The hero claims "4K+ review" while a section further down the same page says "2,000+ reviews"
- "No membership fees" holds for the compounded plans only — the brand-name track charges a separate membership, $49 the first month and around $98/mo after
- No list of states served is published anywhere on the site
Fridays for mothers: our verdict
Every price Fridays advertises — $117, $150, $198, $240 — is a prepaid annual rate. The site says so in small type beside each one: "Paid annually, delivered monthly." If you want to pay by the month, the same compounded semaglutide is $249 and the tirzepatide is $359, both printed on the same page. That is the number to plan around, because a twelve-month prepay is a different financial decision from a subscription you can stop. To Fridays' credit, it names its operator, address and phone in the footer, which most sellers do not. It runs about $249/month — a premium to the category, so the extras have to earn it.
We weigh Fridays the way mothers actually have to: not just the monthly cost, but postpartum and breastfeeding timing and PCOS and insulin resistance — the parts a general weight-loss roundup leaves out.
What Fridays costs, in full
- Compounded semaglutide — Month to month: $249/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — Prepaid annual plan: $150/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Month to month: $359/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Prepaid annual plan: $240/mo
- Brand-name semaglutide — Ozempic, month to month: $1498/mo
- Brand-name tirzepatide — Zepbound, month to month: $1828/mo
For context, the typical ongoing price across our roster is around $179/month, so Fridays sits at the premium end.
Fridays says the price covers the provider visit, the medication, shipping and coaching. That is the comparison that matters at this price: two providers a few dollars apart can differ by a hundred a month once the extras are counted, so line up what each one bundles before you decide.
The medications Fridays prescribes
Fridays prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two with the largest published weight-loss effects, and carrying both on one account matters when insulin resistance, common with PCOS and after gestational diabetes, makes tirzepatide the better-suited option. Brand pens are available here alongside the compounded versions, and the on-label products come with the manufacturer's own pregnancy and lactation labeling — easier to hand to an OB.
A needle-free oral or sublingual option is on the menu, which draws in mothers who've been avoiding injections — just set expectations: oral and buccal delivery of these peptides is far less studied than the injectable versions the trials used.
Where Fridays fits — and where it doesn't — for mothers
A good fit if…
- switching between semaglutide and tirzepatide may become necessary as your body and your hormones change.
Look elsewhere if…
- you'd rather a prescriber talk through timing around postpartum and breastfeeding timing — that is the ground our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built on.
Oversight, safety, and what we could verify
Our confidence is moderate — the core facts check out, but some details (per-state availability, program mechanics) aren't fully public. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing mothers can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formulation — we explain how we weigh oversight in our scoring methodology.
A standing caveat for mothers: GLP-1 medications aren't established as safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every label advises against use. Nothing here changes that — plan the timing with your own clinician.
The bottom line
Fridays is a reasonable option — weigh it on postpartum and breastfeeding timing and PCOS and insulin resistance against the alternatives below. For most mothers, CoreAge Rx remains the stronger all-round fit — see why it tops our ranking.
The bottom line for mothers
Best for: Someone genuinely ready to prepay a year up front, who has read the refund policy first.
Alternatives to Fridays
Providers we have a referral relationship with, ordered by their Metabolic-Fit Score — highest first. This module leaves out the provider whose page you are reading, so on CoreAge Rx's own review our #1 pick is the one name you will not find here. These are not the whole roster: see the full ranking for every provider we cover, paid or not.
- Visit CoreAge Rx92
Metabolic-Fit / 100
CoreAge RxOur #1 pickOne flat price, both molecules on a single chart, and a prescriber who reads your history before writing — the most predictable place for a mother to start and, just as important, to pause.
- Visit Gala Health84
Metabolic-Fit / 100
A flat $179 for either molecule with a genuinely gentle microdosing tier — a reasonable, all-doses-included option if you can live with a yearly plan and a pharmacy it doesn't name.
- Visit Enhance MD81
Metabolic-Fit / 100
One of the more oversight-forward compounded programs here — lab work and a live provider visit bundled into every plan, with a gentle microdosing tier — the catch is that the low '$212' headline you'll see quoted is the 12-month prepay rate, not the $249 you'd pay month to month.

Head-to-head & alternatives
Fridays, answered
- How much does Fridays cost?
- At last review, Fridays's lowest ongoing compounded rate was about $249 a month — $249/mo on the month-to-month plan for semaglutide, $359/mo on the month-to-month plan for tirzepatide. This market re-prices often, so check the current all-in figure at the source before committing.
- Is Fridays safe to use while breastfeeding?
- Nothing in this class — compounded or brand — has been established as safe in pregnancy or lactation, and every label advises against use. Fridays is not an exception to that. Plan a GLP-1 for after weaning and settle the timing with your own clinician.
- Does Fridays offer both semaglutide and tirzepatide?
- Yes — Fridays offers both molecules. Tirzepatide's dual GIP/GLP-1 action is often preferred where insulin resistance drives weight, which matters for PCOS and after gestational diabetes.
- Where does Fridays rank for mothers?
- Fridays scores 34/100 on our Metabolic-Fit Score and sits at #248. That score is a weighted read of six things mothers actually have to care about. CoreAge Rx currently leads it — see how they compare.
Pricing, states and verification reflect Fridays's public disclosures at last review; the Metabolic-Fit Score is our editorial judgment per the published methodology.
