If Wellmedr and Refills are the two tabs still open, the deciding information is not on either homepage — it is in what happens after the first month.
Refills will prescribe tirzepatide, the dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist; Wellmedr, on published information, will not. If you already know you want tirzepatide, that decides it before price enters the conversation.
The comparison below starts from published pricing, converts it into annual cost, and then asks what the more expensive side is delivering for the difference. Every figure traces back to the provider's own published material, and the missing ones stay missing.
The short answer
- Lowest 12-month cost
- Wellmedr — $1,068 against $1,188 at Refills, on each provider's own best published pricing.
- Most predictable bill
- Wellmedr — Price locked for the life of the plan, so titration does not change what you are charged.
- Tirzepatide access
- Refills — The only one of the two that publishes a dual GIP/GLP-1 option.
- Easiest to pay for
- Wellmedr — Neither publishes financing; both expect the full amount monthly.
The short version: Wellmedr vs Refills
The rows below are the ones that differ enough between these two to be worth your attention.
| Wellmedr | Refills | |
|---|---|---|
| Advertised price | Semaglutide from $89/mo on the 1-year plan | GLP-1 from $99/mo, about $5 a day |
| Rate after promotions | $89/mo | $99/mo |
| Pricing structure | Price locked for the life of the plan | Flat rate at every dose |
| Medication | Compounded semaglutide | Compounded semaglutide and GIP+GLP-1 dual agonist |
| Tirzepatide | Not published | Available |
| Membership fee | Not stated | None |
| How fast you start | Same-day review | 3-minute approval quiz |
| State coverage | Not published | Availability varies by state |
| Price transparency | Partly published | Published upfront |
| Patient reviews | 4,925 | 7,400 |
| eRxDoctor score | 9.4/10 | 7.7/10 |
What you will have spent by month twelve
Comparing entry prices across these two would be actively misleading, because they escalate differently. So the table works in the timeframe treatment actually happens in.
| Wellmedr | Refills | |
|---|---|---|
| First month | $89 | $99 |
| Months 2 onward | $89/mo | $99/mo |
| 6-month total | $534 | $594 |
| 12-month total | $1,068 | $1,188 |
| Best published plan | No multi-month discount published | No multi-month discount published |
Over a year that is a $120 difference, in Wellmedr's favor. Whether it is the right call depends on whether Refills gives you $10 a month of something you will use.
Semaglutide, tirzepatide, and having somewhere to go next
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Tirzepatide adds GIP activity, and in head-to-head trial data it has produced larger average weight reductions. That does not make it the right first choice for everyone — it is typically more expensive and the side-effect profile is its own conversation — but it is the usual next step when semaglutide underdelivers.
Refills publishes both. Wellmedr publishes compounded semaglutide, so switching molecules would mean switching provider, repeating an intake and losing whatever pricing you had locked in.
Optionality has a price and it is usually small. Weigh it against the cost of restarting the whole process elsewhere in six months.
Inside the Wellmedr program
The pitch is locked-in pricing with no dose-based increases at one of the lowest published rates. GLP-1 Plans Starting at Just $89/Month
You start with same-day review; medication arrives via free overnight shipping. The price behaves as price locked for the life of the plan.
On the clinical side, same-day clinician review, prescribing compounded semaglutide.
Wellmedr pros
- Lifetime locked-in pricing
- No dose-based price increases
Wellmedr cons
The reservation worth holding, particularly next to Refills: the $89 rate is tied to a one-year commitment and the platform publishes little else.

Who each program is actually built for
Choose Wellmedr if:
- delivery works the way you want it to: free overnight shipping
- the level of clinical contact suits you: same-day clinician review
- you want to start on their timeline: same-day review
- the twelve-month total is what you are optimizing ($1,068 against $1,188)
Choose Refills if:
- you would get real value from $99 flat at every dosage, from LegitScript-certified pharmacies with third-party USP testing
- you want the full price in front of you before completing an intake
- you want tirzepatide available without changing provider later
- you want the price you sign up at to survive titration
Honest trade-offs
On price. $89/mo against $99/mo. Refills is asking you to pay for $99 flat at every dosage, from LegitScript-certified pharmacies with third-party USP testing; decide whether that is a line item you will use.
On commitment. Neither publishes a multi-month discount, so both are month-to-month decisions and neither asks you to prepay for a response you have not had yet. Neither publishes financing options, so plan for the full amount each month.
On clinical contact. Same-day clinician review at Wellmedr; free 24/7 health concierge at Refills. Neither is a substitute for in-person care if you have complicating conditions, and both bill you directly rather than your insurer.
On medication. Wellmedr covers compounded semaglutide; Refills covers compounded semaglutide and GIP+GLP-1 dual agonist. Only Refills publishes a tirzepatide route, which matters if semaglutide underdelivers.
The medication, not the platform
Before either program's marketing claims, the underlying evidence — which belongs to the medication, not the platform.
Cardiovascular benefit has been demonstrated for semaglutide in a specific population: adults with overweight or obesity and existing cardiovascular disease but no diabetes, per NEJM, SELECT.
In SURMOUNT-4, stopping tirzepatide after a lead-in period produced significant weight regain, where staying on it did not, per JAMA, SURMOUNT-4.
Neither platform's marketing changes any of that. It is the same evidence base whichever one takes your card.
Wellmedr vs Refills: common questions
What happens if I stop taking the medication?
Both programs are month to month, which makes stopping easy and makes the consequence of stopping the thing to plan for: published extension data shows most of the lost weight returns within about a year. That is an argument for choosing on annual cost rather than entry price.
Are Wellmedr and Refills legitimate?
Both are licensed telehealth platforms that route a prescription through a clinician review before anything is dispensed; neither sells medication without one. Wellmedr operates on price locked for the life of the plan with pricing partly published, Refills 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.
Can I switch from Wellmedr to Refills 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.
Is Wellmedr or Refills better for a first GLP-1 prescription?
For a first prescription, weight support over price. Wellmedr offers more contact (same-day clinician review), 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.
Do Wellmedr and Refills prescribe the same medication?
Both dispense compounded GLP-1 preparations. Wellmedr lists compounded semaglutide and Refills lists compounded semaglutide and GIP+GLP-1 dual agonist, so the molecules overlap even where the formulary does not match exactly.
Does Wellmedr or Refills offer tirzepatide?
Refills does. Wellmedr publishes compounded semaglutide only, so moving to tirzepatide would mean moving provider — a new intake, a new price, and the loss of any rate you had locked in.
The verdict
Wellmedr is the cheaper year by $120, and for a straightforward course of treatment that settles it.
The case for Refills is $99 flat at every dosage, from LegitScript-certified pharmacies with third-party USP testing. That is worth $10 a month to some patients and nothing at all to others — be honest about which you are.
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.
