Measured and SnagRx sit at ranks 11 and 15 in our weight loss listing, which makes them close enough to be a genuine decision rather than an obvious one.
Measured bundles behavioral support into the plan — unlimited messaging, a 24/7 care team and dietitian support. SnagRx sells the prescription and the clinical oversight around it, and nothing else. Which of those you want depends on whether medication alone has worked for you before.
The sections that follow price both programs across a full course of treatment rather than a first month, then set out which patient each one is actually built for. Where a provider quotes only after intake, that is recorded as the answer rather than replaced with a guess.
The short answer
- Lowest 12-month cost
- SnagRx — $828 against $1,428 at Measured, on each provider's own best published pricing.
- Most predictable bill
- SnagRx — Flat rate at every dose, so titration does not change what you are charged.
- Least friction to get going
- Measured — Same-day prescription decisions, then free 2-day shipping.
- Widest medication choice
- Measured — compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide.
The short version: Measured vs SnagRx
The table is built from each provider's published pricing and program detail; anything they decline to state is marked as such.
| Measured | SnagRx | |
|---|---|---|
| Advertised price | Semaglutide $119/mo, tirzepatide $199/mo (sale pricing) | Semaglutide $99/mo month-to-month, or $69/mo on the 12-month plan |
| Rate after promotions | $119/mo | $99/mo |
| Pricing structure | Published rate per medication | Flat rate at every dose |
| Medication | Compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide | Compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide |
| Support model | Dietitian support included | No coaching program stated |
| State coverage | Not published | 48 states |
| Membership fee | None | None |
| How fast you start | Same-day prescription decisions | 5-minute intake, clinician review typically within 5 hours and always within 24 |
| Shipping | Free 2-day shipping | Free next-day UPS or FedEx in temperature-controlled packaging |
| Patient reviews | 5,100 | 9,860 |
| eRxDoctor score | 7.7/10 | 7.5/10 |
Measured vs SnagRx on total cost, not entry price
GLP-1 treatment is not a one-month purchase, and neither of these prices it like one. So the table works in the timeframe treatment actually happens in.
| Measured | SnagRx | |
|---|---|---|
| First month | $119 | $99 |
| Months 2 onward | $119/mo | $99/mo |
| 6-month total | $714 | $594 |
| 12-month total | $1,428 | $1,188 |
| Best published plan | No multi-month discount published | 12-month semaglutide plan at $69/mo ($828 a year) — $828/yr |
The twelve-month spread is $600. That is the number to hold Measured against: it has to justify roughly $50 extra every month.
Coaching, or just the prescription
Measured includes unlimited messaging, a 24/7 care team and dietitian support. That is a real cost to deliver, and it is priced into the monthly rate whether or not you open the app.
SnagRx is built the other way: 1:1 nursing staff plus a secure patient portal for refills and dose changes. The medication does the pharmacological work, and everything around it is yours to organize.
Coaching is the line item people cancel first and miss most. Be honest about which patient you are before optimizing it away.
Measured: what you are buying
Measured positions itself on dietitian support and unlimited messaging bundled at a price most bare-prescription platforms charge. Measured pairs compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with same-day prescription decisions, unlimited provider messaging, and dietitian support.
Practically: same-day prescription decisions, free 2-day shipping, and a pricing model that is published rate per medication.
On the clinical side, unlimited messaging, a 24/7 care team and dietitian support, prescribing compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide.
Measured pros
- Unlimited messaging, 24/7 Care Team, and dietitian support included
- 4.8-star Trustpilot rating from 51,000+ users
- HSA/FSA eligible; Klarna financing available
- Same-day prescription decisions for eligible patients
Measured cons
- Promotional pricing is time-limited
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved finished products
Where it gives ground to SnagRx: the $119 and $199 rates are explicitly promotional and time-limited.
How SnagRx works
SnagRx offers compounded semaglutide from $69/month and tirzepatide from $119/month, with the rate locked flat at every dose, named US 503A pharmacies and next-day shipping.
Intake is 5-minute intake, clinician review typically within 5 hours and always within 24. Fulfillment is free next-day UPS or FedEx in temperature-controlled packaging. The commercial terms are flat rate at every dose, published upfront.
What continues after the first shipment: 1:1 nursing staff plus a secure patient portal for refills and dose changes. Formulary: compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide.
SnagRx pros
- States LegitScript certification, which patients can verify independently
- Names its four US 503A partner pharmacies and its clinician network (OpenLoop Health)
- Price locked flat at every dose and at renewal — no re-pricing during titration
- Bottom-of-market pricing on the annual plan: $69/mo semaglutide, $119/mo tirzepatide
SnagRx cons
- Clinician network covers 48 states, not all 50
- No coaching or nutrition programming of any kind
- Heavy urgency marketing, including a countdown timer on the pricing page
Read next to Measured, the weak point: the advertised $69 and $119 rates require the 12-month plan — month-to-month is $99 and $149.

- the level of clinical contact suits you: unlimited messaging, a 24/7 care team and dietitian support
Choose SnagRx if:
- the level of clinical contact suits you: 1:1 nursing staff plus a secure patient portal for refills and dose changes

- you want to start on their timeline: 5-minute intake, clinician review typically within 5 hours and always within 24
Where each program concedes something
On price. $99/mo against $119/mo. Measured is asking you to pay for dietitian support and unlimited messaging bundled at a price most bare-prescription platforms charge; decide whether that is a line item you will use.
On commitment. SnagRx rewards a longer commitment (12-month semaglutide plan at $69/mo ($828 a year)), which lowers the effective rate but ties up money before you know how you respond to the medication. Financing is available through Measured (HSA/FSA and Klarna).
On access. Measured advertises same-day prescription decisions and free 2-day shipping; SnagRx advertises 5-minute intake, clinician review typically within 5 hours and always within 24 and free next-day UPS or FedEx in temperature-controlled packaging. Coverage differs too — not published against 48 states — which decides the question before price does if you are in a restricted state.
On predictability. Published rate per medication versus flat rate at every dose. Whichever you pick, get the maintenance-dose price in writing at intake.
What the trials and the FDA say
It is worth separating the program from the pharmacology. What follows is true of the medication regardless of which of these two writes the prescription.
The NIH position is that weight-management medication works alongside changes in eating and activity, not instead of them, per NIH, NIDDK.
Compounding is lawful within a specific statutory framework, and the conditions attached to it have changed as GLP-1 shortages have resolved, per FDA.
Neither platform's marketing changes any of that. It is the same evidence base whichever one takes your card.
Measured vs SnagRx: common questions
Is SnagRx cheaper than Measured?
Yes, on the ongoing rate. SnagRx runs $99/mo once promotional pricing ends, against $119/mo at Measured — a difference of 20%. Compare the first-month offers separately, because both providers discount entry differently from the rate you will actually be paying by month three.
Which costs less over a year, Measured or SnagRx?
SnagRx, at roughly $828 for twelve months against $1,428 at Measured, using each provider's own best published pricing. Those totals cover medication and program fees as published; they exclude anything a provider bills separately, and they assume you stay on the same plan for the full year.
How fast can I start with Measured compared with SnagRx?
Measured advertises same-day prescription decisions, with free 2-day shipping. SnagRx advertises 5-minute intake, clinician review typically within 5 hours and always within 24, with free next-day UPS or FedEx in temperature-controlled packaging. Both are subject to clinician review and to whether your state and health history clear, so treat the advertised timeline as a best case rather than a commitment.
Do Measured or SnagRx take insurance?
Both run on a direct-pay basis: you pay the platform and it does not bill your insurer. Measured accepts HSA/FSA funds, which is the closest thing to a benefit offset available here.
Do Measured and SnagRx prescribe the same medication?
Both dispense compounded GLP-1 preparations. Measured lists compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide and SnagRx lists compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, so the molecules overlap even where the formulary does not match exactly.
Can I switch from Measured to SnagRx later?
Yes. Neither program locks you in clinically, and both operate month to month unless you have bought a multi-month plan. Practically, switching means a fresh intake, a fresh clinician review and possibly a gap in supply, so time it against your current shipment rather than your renewal date, and check the refund terms on any prepaid plan first.
Is Measured or SnagRx better for a first GLP-1 prescription?
If this is your first GLP-1, the question is who answers when nausea arrives on day nine. Measured publishes unlimited messaging, a 24/7 care team and dietitian support, which is the more useful thing to buy at the start.
The verdict
SnagRx is the cheaper year by $600, and for a straightforward course of treatment that settles it.
Measured earns the difference in one situation: when dietitian support and unlimited messaging bundled at a price most bare-prescription platforms charge is something you will genuinely use. If you cannot say that out loud, take the cheaper program.
Whichever way you go, the medication is the same class of drug and the clinical questions belong to a clinician. What you are choosing here is a billing model and a support structure.
