Both Refills and SnagRx will get a GLP-1 prescription to your door without an in-person visit. The question is what the year after that first shipment looks like.
They cost about the same — $99/mo at Refills, $99/mo at SnagRx — so price cannot decide this one. What you get for the money can.
What follows is a like-for-like read of both programs: entry pricing, maintenance pricing, formulary, support model and the terms attached to each. Undisclosed pricing is treated as a finding, not rounded into an estimate.
The short answer
- Lowest 12-month cost
- SnagRx — $828 against $1,188 at Refills, on each provider's own best published pricing.
- Most predictable bill
- Refills — Flat rate at every dose, so titration does not change what you are charged.
- Quickest to start
- SnagRx — 5-minute intake, clinician review typically within 5 hours and always within 24, then free next-day UPS or FedEx in temperature-controlled packaging.

The short version: Refills vs SnagRx
Every figure below is the provider's own published number. The blank spaces are theirs, not ours.
| Refills | SnagRx | |
|---|---|---|
| Advertised price | GLP-1 from $99/mo, about $5 a day | Semaglutide $99/mo month-to-month, or $69/mo on the 12-month plan |
| Rate after promotions | $99/mo | $99/mo |
| Pricing structure | Flat rate at every dose | Flat rate at every dose |
| Medication | Compounded semaglutide and GIP+GLP-1 dual agonist | Compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide |
| State coverage | Availability varies by state | 48 states |
| How fast you start | 3-minute approval quiz | 5-minute intake, clinician review typically within 5 hours and always within 24 |
| Membership fee | None | None |
| Payment options | Card only, no financing published | Card only, no financing published |
| Patient reviews | 7,400 | 9,860 |
| eRxDoctor score | 7.6/10 | 7.5/10 |
What you will have spent by month twelve
Trial data runs to 68 and 72 weeks; the pricing people compare runs to 30 days. What matters is the total at the point most people are still in treatment, so both programs are extended to six and twelve months below.
| Refills | SnagRx | |
|---|---|---|
| First month | $99 | $99 |
| Months 2 onward | $99/mo | $99/mo |
| 6-month total | $594 | $594 |
| 12-month total | $1,188 | $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 $360. That is the number to hold Refills against: it has to justify roughly $30 extra every month.
Same money, different program
At $99/mo and $99/mo, price is a wash. So the comparison moves to what each one does with the money: Refills puts it into $99 flat at every dosage, from LegitScript-certified pharmacies with third-party USP testing, while SnagRx puts it into the rate is locked at every dose for the life of treatment, and the four US 503A partner pharmacies and the prescribing clinician network are both named publicly.
The structures differ underneath the matching numbers, too — flat rate at every dose at Refills against flat rate at every dose at SnagRx. That is what decides which of the two identical-looking prices is still identical in month six.
When price ties, pick on the failure mode you most want covered: the one that answers fastest when something goes wrong, or the one that keeps the medication you might want to switch to on its own formulary.

SnagRx in detail
SnagRx positions itself on the rate is locked at every dose for the life of treatment, and the four US 503A partner pharmacies and the prescribing clinician network are both named publicly. 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.
You start with 5-minute intake, clinician review typically within 5 hours and always within 24; medication arrives via free next-day UPS or FedEx in temperature-controlled packaging. The price behaves as flat rate at every dose.
Ongoing care is 1:1 nursing staff plus a secure patient portal for refills and dose changes, and the medication list runs to compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide.
SnagRx pros
- Clinician review typically within 5 hours; next-day temperature-controlled shipping
- Full refund if the prescription is declined, plus a 6-month weight-loss guarantee (terms apply)
- Bottom-of-market pricing on the annual plan: $69/mo semaglutide, $119/mo tirzepatide
- Price locked flat at every dose and at renewal — no re-pricing during titration
SnagRx cons
- Compounded medication only, no branded Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound
- The advertised $69 and $119 rates require the 12-month plan; month-to-month is $99 and $149
- Heavy urgency marketing, including a countdown timer on the pricing page
Where it gives ground to Refills: the advertised $69 and $119 rates require the 12-month plan — month-to-month is $99 and $149.
Which one fits which patient
Choose Refills if:
- delivery works the way you want it to: free, fast and discreet shipping on every order
- you want the price you sign up at to survive titration
- the feature you would actually use: $99 flat at every dosage, from LegitScript-certified pharmacies with third-party USP testing
- the level of clinical contact suits you: free 24/7 health concierge
Choose SnagRx if:
- what it leads on is worth paying for in your case: the rate is locked at every dose for the life of treatment, and the four US 503A partner pharmacies and the prescribing clinician network are both named publicly
- the level of clinical contact suits you: 1:1 nursing staff plus a secure patient portal for refills and dose changes
- you want the price you sign up at to survive titration
- you are willing to commit for a term in exchange for a lower effective rate (12-month semaglutide plan at $69/mo ($828 a year))
Honest trade-offs
On price. Only Refills publishes a rate you can plan against (GLP-1 from $99/mo, about $5 a day). The other quotes after intake, which is a cost of a different kind: you cannot budget the year in advance.
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. Neither publishes financing options, so plan for the full amount each month.
On predictability. Flat rate at every dose versus flat rate at every dose. Whichever you pick, get the maintenance-dose price in writing at intake.
On access. Refills advertises 3-minute approval quiz and free, fast and discreet shipping on every order; 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 — availability varies by state against 48 states — which decides the question before price does if you are in a restricted state.
What the trials and the FDA say
The efficacy data people cite when comparing these platforms is not platform data. It comes from trials of the underlying medication, and it applies to both.
The FDA approved tirzepatide for chronic weight management in November 2023, two years after semaglutide, per FDA.
In the STEP 1 trial, weekly semaglutide 2.4 mg produced a mean body-weight change of −14.9% at 68 weeks against −2.4% on placebo, per NEJM, STEP 1.
Which is to say: the medication decision belongs with a clinician, and the platform decision belongs with a spreadsheet.
Refills vs SnagRx: common questions
Which costs less over a year, Refills or SnagRx?
SnagRx, at roughly $828 for twelve months against $1,188 at Refills, 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.
Do Refills and SnagRx prescribe the same medication?
Both dispense compounded GLP-1 preparations. Refills lists compounded semaglutide and GIP+GLP-1 dual agonist and SnagRx lists compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, so the molecules overlap even where the formulary does not match exactly.
Is Refills or SnagRx better for a first GLP-1 prescription?
For a first prescription, weight support over price. Refills offers more contact (free 24/7 health concierge), which matters most in the first eight weeks when side effects and titration questions are at their peak. Once you know how you tolerate the medication, the cheaper program becomes the rational choice.
Can I switch from Refills to SnagRx later?
You can, and people do — usually when an introductory price expires. Budget for a repeat intake and a short overlap in supply, and confirm what happens to any unused portion of a multi-month plan before you cancel it.
Are Refills and SnagRx legitimate?
Both are licensed telehealth platforms that route a prescription through a clinician review before anything is dispensed; neither sells medication without one. Refills operates on flat rate at every dose with pricing published upfront, SnagRx on flat rate at every dose, published upfront. The meaningful due diligence is on the medication category and the terms, not on whether the platforms are real.
What happens if I stop taking the medication?
Weight regain is the documented pattern, and it is not specific to either platform. Trial extension data has recorded participants regaining most of the weight they lost within a year of stopping semaglutide. Both Refills and SnagRx price on a monthly basis, so treat the twelve-month figure as the realistic commitment rather than a first-month experiment.
How fast can I start with Refills compared with SnagRx?
Refills advertises 3-minute approval quiz, with free, fast and discreet shipping on every order. 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.
The verdict
SnagRx is the cheaper year by $360, and for a straightforward course of treatment that settles it.
Where Refills justifies itself is $99 flat at every dosage, from LegitScript-certified pharmacies with third-party USP testing. Where it does not is anywhere the extra spend buys features you will never open.
Whichever you choose, diarise the month the introductory pricing ends and re-run the comparison then. Neither platform will remind you.
