The catch — None on the arithmetic, which is worth saying plainly: every tier and every savings percentage reconciles exactly against the true rates. The trap is on the way out rather than the way in — the refund carve-out means the lump sum you paid for a twelve-month tier stops being refundable the moment a prescription is written.

What they advertise
Prepay tiers advertised as low as $158/month for semaglutide and $167/month for tirzepatide.
What you actually pay
$249/month for semaglutide and $297/month for tirzepatide. Those are the one-month plans, and they are the default selection rather than something you have to hunt for. Prepay runs $217/mo (3 months, $650), $175/mo (6 months, $1,050) and $158/mo (12 months, $1,900) for semaglutide; $267/mo ($800), $217/mo ($1,299) and $167/mo ($1,999) for tirzepatide.

The bottom line
TMates (tmates.com) sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, injectable and oral, and gets one important thing right that most of this category gets wrong: its prepay arithmetic is honest. Every advertised per-month figure and every "Save X%" claim reconciles exactly against its true month-to-month rates of $249 for semaglutide and $297 for tirzepatide. That is rarer than it should be. The problems are elsewhere. Its "Cancel Anytime" badge is contradicted by its own Terms, under which nothing is refundable once a prescription reaches the pharmacy and any payment plan remains in force. Its page headed "Our Doctors" names no doctors. And its about page describes the company as a manufacturer that has built an online pharmacy, while the footer on that same page disclaims being a compounding facility at all.
TMates appears on our semaglutide provider ranking and our combined weight loss injections ranking. Nothing on this page is a performance claim.
Who it is for, and who it is not
A good fit if
- You are comparing prepay tiers and want the arithmetic to be trustworthy — every discount claim here checks out exactly against the standing rate.
- You want the true month-to-month price stated plainly rather than buried: $249 for semaglutide, $297 for tirzepatide, both the default selection.
- Free shipping and a bundled provider consultation are what you're after.
Look elsewhere if
- You are relying on "Cancel Anytime." Once a prescription is transmitted to a pharmacy there is no refund, and a denied refund request leaves any payment plan in place — so a twelve-month tier can become non-refundable in full at the moment of prescribing.
- You want to know who is treating you. No medical group, professional corporation or individual clinician is named anywhere.
- You want to know who compounds your drug — no pharmacy is named, and its only mention of a regulatory category is a disclaimer about itself.
What TMates offers
Tap any compound to read our plain-English guide — what the evidence shows, how it is dosed, and what it costs elsewhere.
Who fills your prescription
No category stated
TMates does not name the pharmacy that fills your prescription.
What its own site says
No pharmacy is named anywhere. The only sourcing statement is a footer disclaimer that TMates may offer compounded medications from registered US pharmacies. Its single reference to a regulatory category is a disclaimer about itself, stating what TMates is not — which tells a reader nothing about the facility that actually fills their prescription. No name, no category, nothing to connect.
What's the difference between 503A and 503B?
A 503A pharmacy compounds for one named patient; a 503B outsourcing facility manufactures in batches under CGMP. Neither is a quality guarantee on its own — a named facility is simply a fact you can check, and an unnamed “partner pharmacy network” is not. Compounded peptides are not FDA-approved.
Where you can get it
Not stated
Stated three different ways and never as a list: all 50 states on the homepage, "50+ States We Deliver" on its about page — which cannot be true as written — and "We ship to most states" in its product FAQ.
The honest cons
The part they would rather you skipped
Its about page claims that as a manufacturer it ensures its products meet the highest standards, and that it has built an online pharmacy. The footer on that same page disclaims being a compounding facility. A company cannot be the manufacturer and the pharmacy while also not being a compounding facility and sourcing from third parties. Alongside that sit four different scale claims across four pages — 70,000 patients and 100,000 patients on the homepage, 100,000 orders on the about page, 40,000 users in the intake app — and a "10+ Years Experience" claim next to a blog whose entire archive is dated to a single month this year.
- "Cancel Anytime" is contradicted by Terms under which nothing is refundable once a prescription reaches the pharmacy, and a denied refund leaves the payment plan in force.
- Its page headed "Our Doctors" names zero doctors, and displays university and hospital logos with no stated relationship to any of them.
- Its about page calls the company a manufacturer and an online pharmacy while the same page's footer disclaims being a compounding facility.
- Four different patient-count claims appear across four of its own pages.
None of this is unique to TMates — the whole category shares it.

- Sesame CareA flat, medication-included semaglutide plan — tirzepatide works nothing like it.
- SnagRx"Locked-In... for Life" pricing sits beside a countdown claiming otherwise.
- Telos RxNames the states it can't serve — but the price you see probably isn't the real one.
- Sprout HealthNames both pharmacies and a real 44-state list — but every price is a starting floor.
- HealthRXStructured, disclosed pricing — but no legal entity is named anywhere on the site.
- Breeze MedsNames the exact compound in its nav — then hides the price behind a quiz.
- SkinnyRxInjectable and oral tirzepatide — but the advertised price is a floor, not what you pay.
