How we scored it
Scores follow the published rubric in our provider comparison methodology.
Medical Disclaimer
We're not doctors, and this review is not medical advice. GLP-1 medications are prescription-only and require evaluation by a licensed healthcare provider. What works for one person may not work for another, and only a clinician who knows your history can determine whether a medication is appropriate for you. See our full medical disclaimer.
What Is Fridays?
Fridays appears in mainstream provider roundups alongside Ro, Noom, and Mochi, and it has one of the largest public review bases in the category — over 4,500 Trustpilot reviews at a 4-star average when we checked.
Its pricing rewards commitment heavily. Compounded semaglutide is published at $117/month on an annual plan, paid as $1,498 up front plus a $49 membership, against $249/month buying month to month. It also runs a "buy 3, get 1 free" structure applied as a 25% discount on a 4-month membership.
Fridays is unusually direct on its own site about what compounded medication is: produced in FDA-registered facilities, not FDA-approved, and not evaluated by the FDA. That is the accurate framing, and a lot of competitors bury it.
How the Program Works
- Consultation process
- Online intake with a required video consultation, which one independent reviewer noted is covered in the published price.
- Eligibility
- Clinician-assessed through intake and video visit.
- Provider involvement
- Licensed providers prescribe and manage. Fridays describes a holistic approach but is not a coaching-heavy program.
- Lab requirements
- Not published as a universal requirement.
- Pharmacy fulfillment
- Fridays states its compounded medications are produced in FDA-registered facilities but are not FDA-approved. It does not publicly name an exclusive pharmacy.
- Shipping frequency
- Delivered monthly, including on annual plans that are paid up front.
- Support services
- Video consultation, care-team messaging, and shipping included in the published price.
Fridays Pricing
- Membership fee
- $49 membership on the annual plan, per Fridays' published pricing page.
- Medication fee
- Semaglutide $117/month as $1,498 paid annually and delivered monthly, or $249/month on a month-to-month plan.
- Cancellation policy
- Fridays states you can cancel your subscription at any time by emailing support or using the member portal. An annual plan paid up front is a different matter from a rolling subscription — confirm what cancelling means for money already paid.
- Refund policy
- Fridays publishes a refund and cancellation policy in its FAQ and program terms. Read the specific terms for the plan you buy, particularly on prepaid annual plans.
- Insurance
- Fridays states plainly that compounded GLP-1 medications are not covered by insurance.
- HSA / FSA
- Commonly HSA/FSA-eligible as a prescription medical expense. Confirm with your administrator.
Pricing details worth knowing
- A "buy 3, get 1 free" offer is applied as a 25% discount on the total 4-month membership fee.
- One independent review put the true all-in monthly cost at $149 for compounded semaglutide on the lowest tier, covering shipping and the required video visit.
- Reddit users have reported different figures at different times ($229 semaglutide, $359 ongoing), so pricing has clearly moved — verify at checkout.
Prices change. Every figure above was taken from Fridays's published pages or the named sources at the bottom of this review, as of August 5, 2026. Telehealth pricing in this market changes frequently, and promotional rates expire. Confirm your actual cost at checkout before enrolling.

About Compounded GLP-1s
The FDA declared the tirzepatide shortage resolved in December 2024 and the semaglutide shortage resolved in February 2025, which ended the window for compounding pharmacies to make large volumes of copies of those drugs (503A pharmacies had until April 22, 2025; 503B outsourcing facilities until May 22, 2025). Many telehealth companies continue to offer compounded GLP-1s prescribed for an individual patient — often as a personalized dose, a microdose, or a formulation combined with a vitamin such as B12 or B6. That practice sits in a contested legal area, and the FDA has signaled further action. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, which means they have not gone through the same review as the brand-name products.
None of that is specific to Fridays — it applies to every provider offering compounded medication. We cover the trade-offs in detail in our guide to brand-name versus compounded GLP-1s.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Fridays really $117 a month?
On the annual plan, yes — but that is $1,498 paid up front plus a $49 membership, delivered monthly. Buying month to month, Fridays publishes $249/month. One independent review put the realistic all-in monthly cost on the lowest tier at $149.
Can I cancel a Fridays plan?
Fridays states you can cancel at any time by emailing support or using the member portal. What is less clear is what cancelling means for an annual plan already paid up front — read the program terms for the specific plan before prepaying.
Are Fridays medications FDA-approved?
No, and Fridays says so on its own site: compounded medications offered through Fridays are produced in FDA-registered facilities but are not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated by the FDA. That is the accurate description of compounded medication generally.
The Verdict
Fridays publishes compounded semaglutide at $117/month on an annual plan ($1,498 up front plus a $49 membership) versus $249/month buying month to month. It is one of the more heavily reviewed telehealth weight companies, and one of the more candid about what compounded means.

How We Researched This Review
We compiled this review on August 5, 2026 from Fridays's own published pages plus independent reporting. We have not signed up for this service ourselves, and we say so rather than implying firsthand testing. Where Fridays does not publish a detail — refund terms, lab requirements, pharmacy partners — we've said that plainly instead of guessing.
