Shapely review
The most completely specified offer in this research — dose-by-dose pricing, a stated lab cost, a smart scale, and Medicare plus most PPOs accepted.
Overview
Shapely publishes more of its own terms than anyone else here. Compounded semaglutide is priced by dose — $139/month at low-mid dose, $179/month at high dose, with three-month packages at $297 or $477 total — and tirzepatide from $166/month. Self-pay membership is $99/month, discounted to $49 for the first month.
It is explicit about what the membership does and does not include. In: monthly video visits with a weight-loss provider, monthly dietitian visits, unlimited chat support, and a smart scale that tracks weight automatically. Out: medications, and labs — which it prices honestly at “typically covered by insurance or $75” through Labcorp.
The insurance position is unusually broad for this market: “Medicare and most PPO plans, including Aetna, Blue Shield, United,” with medication co-pays “typically $25 per month.” Brand-name coverage extends to oral Wegovy, Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro, Foundayo and Contrave. Cancellation terms are the one thing not stated.
