TMates review

One rung, twelve months

The category tile says from $158 a month. That rung costs $1,900 charged once.

What TMates charges, and what it bills

One row per molecule and delivery route. Where the two figures differ, the struck number is what TMates leads with and the figure under it is what a buyer cannot get below. Both are published by the seller; neither is a walked checkout.

Product	Per month	6 months	As the dose rises
Semaglutide, injectionRead September 2026Holds at every dose, per the seller.	$249	$1,494	Holds at every dose, per the seller.
Tirzepatide, injectionRead September 2026Holds at every dose, per the seller.	$297	$1,782	Holds at every dose, per the seller.

The 6-month column is the billed monthly figure multiplied by 6. It is arithmetic on published prices, not a forecast of a bill: a real six months also carries dose changes, labs and shipping, and those are covered below where TMates states them.

The bottom line

TMates prices compounded semaglutide at $249 a month on the rung its product page opens with. The $158 on the category tile is the twelve-month rung, billed $1,900 at once.

Pricing transparency

How TMates publishes its prices

Semaglutide runs $249 for one month, $650 for three, $1,050 for six and $1,900 for twelve. The page prints those as $249, $217, $175 and $158 a month. Tirzepatide runs $297, $800, $1,299 and $1,999 on the same four terms. The dose menu covers 0.25mg to 2.4mg on semaglutide. Every rung on it costs the same, which the page states outright. Injectable and oral are priced level too.

The seller

What TMates is

TMates sells compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, injectable or oral. Phentermine, Zepbound and Wegovy sit on the same weight-loss page. Each GLP-1 carries a four-rung plan ladder. Dose is chosen from a list, not priced by it.

How it works

A 90-second assessment quiz comes before anything else. Medication ships after that, with no extra costs stated. TMates says it accepts most major insurance plans. Cancellation is offered at any time.

Branded or compounded

The GLP-1 products are compounded preparations. A compounded drug is not FDA-approved and the FDA does not review it before dispensing. Branded Zepbound and Wegovy are listed separately at their own figures.

Where the money holds, and where it moves

Predictable

Every rung of both ladders is printed
The dose does not change the price
Injectable and oral cost the same
The one-month rung is the default selection

Moves, or is not stated

The category tile leads with the twelve-month rung
$1,900 is charged once, not monthly
Prepay terms are long for a titration period
The dose list carries no milligram pricing

Who this is worth it for

Buyers who will read the plan ladder before the category tile.

Who should price elsewhere

Anyone budgeting from a from-price that assumes a year paid up front.

Who priced this, and how

Neil Sanders

Pricing analyst · Figures last read September 2026

Every figure above is what TMates publishes on its own pages, read in the month stated beside it, with any charge a buyer cannot decline added back before anything ranks. The rules a price has to meet before it appears here are set out in the methodology. A partnership sets display order on the surfaces that say so and never moves a score — how this site makes money.

Frequently asked

What is a month of semaglutide at TMates?

$249 on the one-month plan, which is the rung the product page opens with. Shorter commitments cost more per month than longer ones.

What does the $158 figure mean?

It is the twelve-month rung, reached by paying $1,900 in one charge. TMates prints it as a per-month equivalent on the category tile.

Does a higher dose cost more?

No. The page states that all dosage options are the same price, across 0.25mg to 2.4mg on semaglutide.

Is the oral form priced differently?

No. TMates lists injectable and oral at one figure for each molecule.

Is TMates legit?

TMates is a GLP-1 telehealth sellers service. Its stated availability: 50 states. What our record does not establish: whether it bills insurance and how its intake works. Ask for those in writing before you pay.

Is TMates expensive compared with other GLP-1 telehealth sellers providers?

TMates publishes a starting figure of $249/mo. Across the 318 GLP-1 telehealth sellers providers we review that publish a single monthly figure, those run $76 to $449 with a median of $179, which puts TMates above the median. The other 23 GLP-1 telehealth sellers providers we review quote only after an intake or price by dose, so they are not in that comparison. A starting figure is not a bill — labs, consultations and shipping are often charged separately, so confirm what your own quote includes.
