Surfbound Health vs OrderlyMeds
Two compounded programs, two injectable molecules, one monthly charge each. The cheaper side flips with the medication, so the honest answer is two answers.
Provider prices re-checked Rechecked monthly
Short answer
Is Surfbound Health or OrderlyMeds cheaper for compounded GLP-1 injections?
It depends which molecule you buy, and that is the whole answer. On tirzepatide, Surfbound Health is cheaper at $219 a month against OrderlyMeds at $299. On semaglutide, OrderlyMeds is cheaper at $149 against $169.
Both are compounded, both bill a single period at a time, and neither charges a separate membership fee. Those three facts are identical, so the only real difference on a normal month is the medication charge and, on the terms side, what each program publishes about doses and cancellation.
A single “cheaper provider” headline would be wrong for one of the two products. This page prints both, from each program’s own pricing page, and names the lower figure on each molecule whoever publishes it.
Common ownership, disclosed before the comparison
Surfbound Health is operated by the company that operates this guide
GLP1 Buyer Guide and Surfbound Health are both owned by Open Water Rx LLC. When this guide names Surfbound Health, it is naming a program the guide’s own owner also runs and earns from, so we state that commercial interest wherever a Surfbound option appears, not only on the disclosures page.
Both programs on this page are recorded on the same fields from their own published pages, and the lower figure is named on each molecule whoever publishes it. OrderlyMeds is not connected to this guide in any way. Full ownership, advertising and placement statement.
The monthly price, molecule by molecule
These are standard monthly charges, not entry prices. Each figure is the recorded month-to-month charge plus every mandatory recurring fee the program records, and on both programs that fee line is zero. No introductory month, prepaid package or starter price is inside these two numbers.

Tirzepatide: $80 a month lower at Surfbound Health, about 27% less than $299. Semaglutide: $20 a month lower at OrderlyMeds, about 12% less than $169. Both figures were re-read on October 30, 2026 and still match the plan records they come from.
Two published amounts are deliberately kept out of that table. Surfbound Health also publishes three-month and six-month package totals, which are package prices rather than monthly instalments, and OrderlyMeds advertises a reduced two-month starter for new patients, which is an entry offer rather than the ongoing rate. Converting either into a monthly figure would produce a number neither program actually bills.
What the charge includes, and how you leave
A monthly price is only half a comparison. The other half is whether a membership sits beside it, what the price is said to cover, whether the charge moves as the dose rises, and what it takes to stop. Every cell below is the field as recorded on the program’s own pages.
| Field | Surfbound Health | OrderlyMeds |
|---|---|---|
| Membership fee | $0: no separate membership fee | $0: no separate membership fee |
| Included services | Provider review, prescribed medication and shipping. | Tirzepatide: Doctor-led orientation, medication if prescribed, supplies and shipping. · Semaglutide: Provider review, medication if prescribed, supplies and shipping. |
| Required or separate fees | No separate membership fee. No laboratory services are provided or billed. | Tirzepatide: No separate membership fee; virtual consults included. · Semaglutide: No separate membership fee recorded. |
| Dose increases | One price across the doses listed; no advertised dose-based increase. Recorded doses: Same published price at each prescribed dose; numeric range not established | One price across the doses listed; no advertised dose-based increase. The published dose range is not established. |
| Billing interval | Every 28 days. | Monthly billing. |

Membership fee. A separate membership is a recurring charge billed on top of the medication. Zero means the program states no separate membership fee, which is not the same fact as an unrecorded amount.
Included services. The services the program states are inside the single charge, in the provider’s own wording.
Required or separate fees. Read from each program’s published terms. Where a fee is conditional or charged once, the record names it here rather than folding it into the charge.
Dose increases. A flat price is a claim that the charge does not rise as the dose increases. It is only established across the doses each program publishes, so the recorded ladder or dose scope is stated beside it.
Billing interval. The interval the provider actually bills on, recorded on each offer and not inferred from the medication supply. A 28-day cycle is not a calendar month, and neither is converted into the other.
Commitment. What the plan records about a minimum term, in the program’s own words. A recurring charge on its own proves neither a minimum term nor the absence of one.
Cancellation. Cancelling stops future orders. It does not reverse an order the pharmacy has already processed on either program.
Dispensing pharmacy. A pharmacy category describes how a compounded product is regulated. It does not identify the named facility filling a specific order, and it says nothing about the price.
Billing basis, Surfbound Health. Owner-confirmed on October 22, 2026 and corrected on November 11, 2026: billed every 28 days, not once a calendar month.
Billing basis, OrderlyMeds. Billing cadence corrected in the October 26, 2026 price pass.
Where each program is the better buy
Better value means one thing here: the lower recorded monthly charge for the same molecule, with the terms attached to it. Each program holds the lower figure on one of the two lines, and neither holds both.
What the OrderlyMeds record states. OrderlyMeds records a flat monthly charge on both compounds, with no separate membership fee, virtual consults inside that charge and no minimum term on the monthly plan. On semaglutide it holds the lower of the two recorded figures.
Lower tirzepatide charge
Surfbound Health
$219a month
$80 a month lower at Surfbound Health, about 27% less than $299.
- No separate membership fee, so the charge is the whole recurring price.
- No laboratory services are provided or billed, which is a stated exclusion rather than a fee that may appear.
- One price across the doses listed, with no advertised dose-based increase.
Lower semaglutide charge
OrderlyMeds
$149a month
$20 a month lower at OrderlyMeds, about 12% less than $169.
- The lower of the two semaglutide figures on this page.
- No separate membership fee, so the recorded charge is the whole recurring price.
- Recorded as a flat monthly price across the doses it lists.
- Monthly renewal with no minimum term recorded.
Where the two are level. Both are month-to-month with no minimum term recorded, both state no separate membership fee, both record one price across the doses they list, and both bill one period at a time. On the cycle they differ: Surfbound Health renews every 28 days, while OrderlyMeds bills once a month. Nothing in the terms decides this comparison; the medication charge does.
What would change the answer. A dose beyond what either program publishes, a membership introduced after the check date, or a different billing cadence would each move a figure. That is why every number here carries the date it was read instead of a single freshness badge for the page.
What value does not mean. This is a comparison of price and program terms. It is not a clinical comparison, no program is claimed to work better than another, and whether either medication is appropriate is a decision for a licensed prescriber.
What neither page establishes
One fact a buyer would reasonably want is missing on both sides, and it is left missing rather than estimated. Neither program publishes the dose range its flat price covers, so the flat claim holds across the doses listed and cannot be verified above them. On the supply itself the two records are not level: Surfbound Health records a 28-day supply per charge, while OrderlyMeds does not state the days of medication a monthly charge buys.
Both prices are for compounded preparations. A compounded medication is not an FDA-approved product, and the charges above are recorded cash prices for what each program sells, not a converted or insurance-adjusted figure.
Compounded and brand-name products appear together because buyers compare them. They can share an active ingredient; they are not the same product. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not generic versions of the brand-name medications.
A figure is accurate to its check date and no further. Prices move, a plan can be withdrawn, and a re-read can change an amount. The date beside each figure is the date it was read, and the provider pages behind them are listed below.
How these figures were checked
Each monthly figure is read from the program’s own pricing page and carried on an offer record with its source, its check date and any conflict noted beside it. The tables on this page print those record fields; nothing is typed in twice and nothing is averaged across programs.
Both providers’ own pricing pages were re-read on this date and still publish the same two monthly figures recorded here. A recorded figure is kept until a re-read replaces it, and a replaced figure keeps the date of the reading it came from instead of being quietly overwritten.
Read the field definitions on program cost research, the sourcing rule on how we compare, and the full monthly comparison ledger for the same fields across every recorded program.

Surfbound Health vs OrderlyMeds: the questions buyers ask
Which one is cheaper, whether the price moves with the dose, how to leave, and who compounds the medication.
It depends on the molecule, and neither program is cheaper on both. Surfbound Health is lower on tirzepatide at $219; OrderlyMeds is lower on semaglutide at $149. A single "cheaper provider" line would be wrong for one of the two products, which is why this page prints both.
