Effecty

$170/mo

Month to month, no prepay. Read off their site August 2026.

The home page prints one price per drug, "$130 /month", and footnotes it "Price for purchase of 12 month supply." Month to month is $170, and the product page opens at $95 with a promo code.

What it is

Effecty sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide alongside a longevity line and hormone therapy, and it is unusually plain about what it is: "a technology platform that connects individuals with independent licensed medical providers." No membership fee, no insurance, ships to all fifty states.

Its own promise is "No hidden fees. The price you see is the price you get, no hidden fees, ever." Which is worth holding on to while you look at what price you see.

What it actually costs

ADVERTISED$130ACTUALLY$170/mo
Effecty advertises $130. A month costs $170 because the advertised rate is the 12-month, billed yearly.

The gap

They advertise $130 a month. That is the 12-month, billed yearly, $1,560 on the card today. With no commitment it is $170 a month.

Effecty's own ladder, from the product page: "Monthly Billed monthly $170 · 3-Month Billed every 3 months $150 · 6-Month Billed every 6 months $140 · 12-Month Best value Billed yearly $130." The upfront figures are our multiplication of those per-month rates, because Effecty publishes no totals. Separately, each term carries a promo-code discount off the first order — "1 MONTH $75 off · 3 MONTHS $125 off · 6 MONTHS $200 off · 12 MONTHS $300 off" with code SAVEMORE — and none of it is in the ladder above.

The four brand cards are the only ones on the home page with no term footnote at all, which is how you can tell the footnoted ones matter.

Month to month is $170 for semaglutide and $235 for tirzepatide. You will not find either on the home page.

What the home page shows is one number per product. "Compounded Semaglutide — Weight Loss — $130 /month *", and beneath it a single footnote: "* Price for purchase of 12 month supply." Tirzepatide the same, at $190. There are three other prices for each drug in the page's own data, and both of the higher ones are set to display:none, so a reader sees the yearly rate and nothing else. Across the sixteen treatment cards on that page, eight carry a "12 month supply" footnote, two carry a "3 month supply" footnote, and six — including all four brand drugs — carry no term at all. That mix is the tell: the term footnote is only on the products where a term is doing work.

The product page is where the ladder appears, and it is a good one: "Monthly Billed monthly $170 · 3-Month $150 · 6-Month $140 · 12-Month Best value Billed yearly $130." A year at $130 comes to $1,560 charged once, on our multiplication of their figure. But the same page opens with a fourth number, bigger than the ladder and above it: "Compounded Semaglutide Starting at $95 /month." That one is the first month after a $75 promo-code discount, and Effecty's own footnote for it never finishes the sentence: "* Price after $75 first month discount. Price for purchase of month supply." The term is simply missing.

So: $95, $130, $170 and a promo ladder, all for compounded semaglutide, all on effecty.com, all on the same day. Only one of them, $170, is a month you can actually buy with no commitment and no code.

The full breakdown — what is included, what is extra, and what happens at higher doses — is on the Effecty cost page.

Who it's wrong for

Anyone who priced Effecty from the home page. The figure there is the twelve-month rate and the page says so in one line of small print.

Anyone reading "Starting at $95". It is one month, it needs the code SAVEMORE, and the footnote defining it is missing its own term.

Anyone with insurance. Effecty does not accept it, does not provide superbills, and says its staff will not communicate with carriers in any case.

Anyone who needs a named pharmacy. Effecty says "state-licensed compounding pharmacies" and names none.

On the record

Prices read 2026-08-31 on effecty.com. The ladder is verbatim from https://www.effecty.com/weight-loss/compounded-semaglutide: "How much does treatment cost? Compounded GLP-1 · Semaglutide — Monthly Billed monthly $170 $75 off 1st order — 3-Month Billed every 3 months $150 $125 off 1st order — 6-Month Billed every 6 months $140 $200 off 1st order — 12-Month Best value Billed yearly $130 $300 off 1st order." The tirzepatide equivalent at https://www.effecty.com/weight-loss/compounded-tirzepatide reads "$235 · $210 · $200 · $190" on the same four terms.

The home page card, verbatim from https://www.effecty.com/ read 2026-08-31: "Compounded Semaglutide Weight Loss $130 /month * ... * Price for purchase of 12 month supply." The page's markup carries "$170" and "$150" for the same product, both on elements set to display:none, so only $130 renders. The same is true of the tirzepatide card, where $235 and $210 are hidden and $190 renders.

The card census, counted on https://www.effecty.com/ on 2026-08-31. Sixteen priced treatment cards. Eight footnoted "* Price for purchase of 12 month supply.": compounded semaglutide, compounded tirzepatide, NAD+ injection, estradiol patch, glutathione, lipotropic MIC + B12, estradiol cream, estradiol tablet. Two footnoted "* Price for purchase of 3 month supply.": sermorelin and sermorelin ODT. Six with no footnote: NAD+ nasal spray, metformin, Mounjaro®, Ozempic®, Wegovy® and Zepbound®.

The broken footnote, verbatim from the served source of https://www.effecty.com/weight-loss/compounded-semaglutide on 2026-08-31: "* Price after $75 first month discount. Price for purchase of month supply." The second sentence has no number in it. The same string appears on the tirzepatide page.

The promo ladder, printed on both product pages the same day: "Use code SAVEMORE for up to $300 off — 1 MONTH $75 off — 3 MONTHS $125 off — 6 MONTHS $200 off — 12 MONTHS $300 off", with "Use code SAVEMORE for up to $300 off GLP-1" running as a marquee across the top of every page. None of it is included in the ladder above, which is the undiscounted rate.

Brand prices from the home page, same day: "Mounjaro® Weight Loss $1,300 /month", "Ozempic® Weight Loss $1,300 /month", "Wegovy® Weight Loss $1,600 /month", "Zepbound® Weight Loss $1,400 /month". None carries a term footnote.

The annual figures above are our multiplication of Effecty's own per-month rates, because Effecty publishes no totals: $130 × 12 = $1,560, $140 × 6 = $840, $150 × 3 = $450 for semaglutide; $190 × 12 = $2,280, $200 × 6 = $1,200, $210 × 3 = $630 for tirzepatide.

On insurance, verbatim from the home page FAQ: "Effecty does not accept insurance at this time ... Effecty doesn't provide superbills or communicate with insurance carriers in any case ... Effecty staff do not and will not communicate with insurance carriers about claims in any case."

What we could not find, and where we looked: we read https://www.effecty.com/ and both compounded product pages in full on 2026-08-31, searching each for 503A, 503B, pharmacy name, hours and overseas. No pharmacy is named and no support hours are published, so those rows read Not stated. The state-licensure row reads Stated on Effecty's own FAQ sentence: "Engage in a chat-based telehealth visit with a physician licensed in your state." The overseas row reads None disclosed on "All medication is dispensed by licensed U.S. pharmacies that meet strict safety and quality standards." The footer reads "© 2025 Effecty LLC. All rights reserved." on a page read in 2026.
