Provider review
TMates review
By Derek Olsson ·
Full price ladders in public, with every headline set at the 12-month rate
Each product page shows one-, three-, six- and twelve-month prices before any quiz, and every dose costs the same. The "from" figures on the category pages are the twelve-month rung, and a prescription that has been sent to the pharmacy is not refundable.
Straight talk: how we earn — some, not all, of these are affiliate links; start a program through one and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Straight about the rest, too: the write-ups say what each provider is actually worth, and a commission does not change a word of them. Full disclosure here.

The verdict
TMates is easy to price. Every GLP-1 and peptide product page shows four plan lengths before you answer a question, and the price doesn't change as your dose goes up: compounded semaglutide is $249 a month at a time and tirzepatide $297, with sermorelin at $179 and NAD+ at $149. The category pages lead with the lowest rungs, $158 and $167, which are twelve-month plans paid up front at $1,900 and $1,999. Once a prescription is sent to the pharmacy, none of that is refundable. The brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound cards at $99 a month are a prescription service only; the drug is bought separately.
TMates appears on our recovery-peptide provider hub, our sermorelin provider ranking, our tirzepatide provider ranking, our semaglutide provider ranking and our NAD+ provider ranking. Nothing on this page is a performance claim — see how semaglutide works for what the treatment does and does not do.

Who it is for, and who it is not
A good fit if
- You want the whole price ladder before you start a quiz
- You expect to move up in dose and want the price to stay flat
- You want a GLP-1 and sermorelin or NAD+ from one account, each with its own public price
Look elsewhere if
- You want to try a month and walk away cleanly; refunds stop once a prescription is sent
- You want to know which pharmacy compounds your medication
- You want named physicians; the doctors page lists none
What it actually costs
What they advertise
The weight-loss page lists compounded semaglutide "From $158/month" and tirzepatide "From $167/month."
What you actually pay, month to month
$249 a month for semaglutide and $297 for tirzepatide on the one-month plan, the same at every dose. Three months cost $650 and $800.
The commitment trap
The "from" figures are the twelve-month plans, charged up front at $1,900 for semaglutide and $1,999 for tirzepatide, and the terms say no refund once a prescription has been sent to the pharmacy.
Money you will meet later
- Brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound are $99 a month for the clinical service only; the medication is filled and paid for at your own pharmacy
- A chargeback can be sent to collections, with interest added

What is included
The cheapest headline number in this category is often the one with the least attached to it. Here is what TMates bundles in, and what it does not.
Clinician consult
An online review by a licensed provider is included
after a 90-second quiz with instant pre-approval.
Bloodwork / labs
Not always required
a provider may recommend bloodwork depending on your history, and no lab price is published.
Follow-ups and dose changes
Ongoing support and dose changes are included
the brand-name service lists ongoing provider check-ins.
Human support
Support by email and phone
the program FAQ also mentions coaching, without describing it.
Injection supplies
Not itemized on the product pages
Shipping
Free
Pharmacy, labs and oversight
The pharmacy
Not named. The site says compounded medications come from registered U.S. pharmacies and that TMates itself is not a compounding facility, though its About page calls the company a manufacturer.
Oversight
Ongoing support and dose changes are included; the brand-name service lists ongoing provider check-ins.
Compounded peptides are not FDA-approved products, and a 503A pharmacy compounds for a named patient while 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. Our guide to verifying a certificate of analysis covers what to ask for.
Where you can get it
Unclear. The homepage promises doctors in all 50 states, the product FAQ says it ships to most states, and no list is published.
The honest cons
The part they would rather you skipped
The cheapest number on TMates is a year paid in advance, and the refund terms are written so that money stays put: a full refund only before a provider reviews you or if you do not qualify, and no refund at all once a prescription has been sent to the pharmacy. If you dispute a charge with your card instead, the terms reserve the right to send the debt to collections with interest.
- No pharmacy is named, and the About page calls TMates a manufacturer while the footer says it does not compound
- The state coverage is described two different ways
- The doctors page names no physician
- The $99 brand-name cards sit beside drug prices on the category page, but cover only the prescription
None of this is unique to TMates — the whole category shares it. What we hold against a provider is the part it hides, and the ways vendors hide things are cataloged in our vendor red-flags guide.

Read this before you buy
A provider comparison is half the decision. The other half is whether the compound does anything for you at all — and whether it is allowed where you compete. Growth-hormone secretagogues are banned in tested sport, year-round, and a prescription does not change that.
