Fridays Overview

Compounded (not FDA-approved)

Fridays prices its compounded GLP-1 programs on a steep commitment curve. U.S. News reports compounded semaglutide starting at $117 a month on an annual plan and $198 a month otherwise, with compounded GLP-1/GIP (tirzepatide) starting around $198 a month on an annual plan.

Fridays' own help centre shows the month-to-month reality: a one-month plan at $359 and a three-month plan at $896 ($299 a month) on one tier, with another tier at $249 for one month. The gap between the $117 annual rate and the $359 monthly rate is the largest in this comparison set.

Fridays also runs a "buy 3, get 1 free" structure, applied as a 25% discount on a four-month membership. It offers both injectable and oral formulations and markets a microdosing approach.

Medications Offered

  • Compounded semaglutide — oral and injectable, from $117/mo on an annual plan
  • Compounded GLP-1/GIP containing tirzepatide — from $198/mo on an annual plan
  • Microdosing protocols

Brand-name or compounded?

Fridays dispenses compounded GLP-1 medications and states explicitly that it does not manufacture them. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and the FDA does not evaluate them for safety, effectiveness or quality.

How the Program Works

Consultation process

Online intake and clinical review, included in the membership price.

Eligibility

Adults meeting standard GLP-1 criteria as assessed by the reviewing clinician.

Provider involvement

Licensed clinicians handle prescribing and dose management as part of the membership.

Lab requirements

Not publicly listed as a standard bundled requirement.

Pharmacy fulfillment

Compounding pharmacies. Fridays states it does not manufacture the medication itself. Specific pharmacy partners are not publicly named.

Shipping and frequency

Included in the membership. Injectables require refrigerated cold-chain handling; oral formulations do not.

Support services

Membership includes clinician access. Fridays maintains a public help centre with pricing documentation, which is more transparent than most competitors.

Fees, Cancellation and Coverage

Membership fees

Presented as an all-in membership rather than a separate platform fee. The membership price varies enormously by commitment length.

Medication fees

Included in the membership price.

Cancellation policy

Multi-month and annual plans are prepaid, which limits mid-term flexibility. Review the terms for your specific plan before purchase.

Refund policy

No published blanket refund policy. Prepaid annual plans carry significant financial exposure.

Insurance

Not accepted. Fridays states compounded GLP-1 medications are not covered by insurance.

HSA / FSA

Reimbursement for compounded medication is uncertain. Confirm with your plan administrator before assuming eligibility.

Pricing in this review reflects what Fridays and named third-party sources published as of August 30, 2026. Telehealth pricing changes frequently — confirm the current figure at checkout before you buy.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • +$117/mo on an annual plan is among the lowest published compounded rates
  • +Both oral and injectable formulations offered
  • +Publishes a detailed help centre with actual plan pricing, rare in this category
  • +Explicit that it does not manufacture the medication, which is honest disclosure
  • +Buy-three-get-one structure gives a real 25% discount on four months
  • +Microdosing protocols available for people who want lower doses

Cons

  • The gap between the $117 annual rate and $359 month-to-month is the widest we found
  • Best pricing requires a 12-month prepaid commitment in a legally uncertain category
  • Reddit users have publicly complained about the difference between advertised and actual pricing
  • Compounded medications are not FDA-approved
  • Multiple pricing tiers make the offering genuinely confusing to compare
  • Compounding pharmacy partners are not publicly named

Who It May Be Best For

Best for

People confident they will stay on a compounded program for a full year and who want the lowest possible annual rate. The oral formulation and microdosing options add flexibility.

Limitations to weigh

The pricing structure is the main problem. A $117 headline that requires annual prepayment while the actual month-to-month rate is $359 makes honest comparison difficult, and public complaints reflect that. Prepaying a year in a category where the FDA has ended shortage-based compounding allowances is a real risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Fridays charge for a GLP-1?

U.S. News reports compounded semaglutide starting at $117 a month on an annual plan and $198 a month otherwise. Fridays' own help centre lists a one-month plan at $359 and a three-month plan at $896 ($299 a month) on one tier, with another tier starting at $249 for one month. The commitment length drives the price enormously.

What is the Fridays buy 3, get 1 free offer?

Fridays applies it as a 25% discount on the total four-month membership fee, equal in value to one month of the standard monthly membership. It is a genuine discount, not a free extra month layered on top.

Are Fridays GLP-1 medications FDA-approved?

No. Fridays dispenses compounded GLP-1 medications and states explicitly that it does not manufacture them. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and the FDA does not evaluate them for safety, effectiveness or quality.

Does Fridays offer oral GLP-1s?

Yes. Fridays lists both oral and injectable compounded semaglutide, and also markets microdosing protocols for people who want lower doses.

Why do Fridays prices vary so much between sources?

Because the price depends heavily on commitment length and product tier. The same program can be quoted at $117 a month on an annual plan or $359 for a single month. Reddit users have publicly raised this gap as a complaint. Check the actual checkout total for the specific plan you want.

Does insurance cover Fridays?

No. Fridays states that compounded GLP-1 medications are not covered by insurance, which is why it prices for cash-pay patients.
